What is Worm?
Win32/Taterf.B a type of worm.

In a computer, a worm is a self-replicating computer program that does not alter files but resides in active memory. The difference between a computer worm and a computer virus is that a computer virus can not run itself. A virus usually needs a virus program to run, and the virus code also runs as part of the host program. However, a worm does not need a host program to run; it uses a network to spread itself over computers on the network.

The original computer worm was released (maybe accidentally) on the Internet by Robert Tappan Morris in 1988. The Internet Worm used sendmail, fingerd, and rsh/rexec to spread itself across the Internet.

The SQL Slammer Worm of 2003 used vulnerability in Microsoft SQL Server 2000 to spread itself across the Internet. The Blaster Worm, also of 2003, used vulnerability in Microsoft DCOM RPC to spread itself.

The Melissa worm of 1999, the Sobig worms of 2003 and the Mydoom worm of 2004, all spread through e-mail. These worms shared some features of a Trojan horse, in that they spread by enticing a user to open an infected e-mail attachment.

Mydoom also attempted to spread itself through the peer-to-peer file sharing application KaZaA. The Mydoom worms attempted a Denial of Service (DoS) attack against SCO and Microsoft.
