Question

which of the following are true about the difference between computer viruses and worms? unlike worms, viruses travel over networks, including the internet. unlike viruses, worms perform malicious acts such as deleting files. unlike worms, viruses need a host file to travel on. unlike viruses, worms are self - replicating. worms can generate a lot of data traffic when trying to spread

Explanation:

• Viruses require a host file (e.g., executable, document) to attach and spread, while worms are standalone and spread via networks without a host.
• Worms self-replicate across networks, which generates significant data traffic during propagation.
• The first option is false (worms travel over networks, not viruses). The second is false (both can perform malicious acts). The fourth is false (both are self-replicating).

Answer:

Unlikely worms, viruses need a host file to travel on.
Worms can generate a lot of data traffic when trying to spread
