Answer 1

A worm is a software program that is designed to copy itself from one computer to another, without human intervention.

Explanation:

The primary difference between a virus and a worm is that viruses must be triggered by the activation of their host; whereas worms are stand-alone malicious programs that can self-replicate and propagate independently as soon as they have breached the system.
