What is the primary difference between a virus and a worm?

Virus
A virus is something you catch when you get a cold or the flu.

Worm
A worm is a slimy little dude that crawls on the ground. They love to come out when it rains.
Good for fishing too.

The differences between them should be obvious.

2. How does a virus spread?

Usually through contact with an infected person.

3. What is a worm? How does it differ from a virus?

Didn't we already cover this in question 1?

4. How does a worm work? How does it spread?

How the hell am I supposed to know how a worm works? This isn't a biology forum. And to my knowledge worms spread a bit when it rains, and when they eat too much.

Any kind soul in here?

No there are no kind souls in here.

Thanks in advance...

Your welcome.

Some worms are also parasites! Be careful when travelling to exotic countries; beware of what you can catch and take preventative measures.

When in doubt, wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_virus

That should provide you with all the reference material you'll need.
