Types Internet Cyber Attacks

A virus is a piece of computer code that attaches itself to a computer program.

Worms are very similar to viruses in that they are computer programs that replicate functional copies of themselves and often, but not always, contain some functionality that will interfere with the normal use of a computer or a program.

Trojan Horse is a program that appears to be useful software, but instead it compromises your security and causes a lot of damage.
