What's the difference bewteen a Virus and a Worm?
A virus is a computer program that attaches itself to a computer system by incorporating a small portion of data into other programs. Once triggered, usually by some action performed on the part of the computer user such as clicking on a file, the virus lies in wait for a command or certain date to deliver its payload, sometimes harmless and other times devastating. Receiving or downloading files such as "AOL4FREE.exe" or free screen savers are more likely to contain viruses than not. "Trust everyone, but brand your cattle!"
A worm is a sub-classification of a virus. A worm contains a small computer program that can replicate itself, and like a worm, wiggles its way through a computer system or network until it finds a way onto the Internet. Many worms have shut down corporate america for days at a time. Microsoft, IBM, and other large businesses have had their e-mail systems literally collapse due to the volume of incoming and outgoing e-mail that these worms generate. The computer user is usually no more the wiser that anything is even happening, when in fact once the user connects to the Internet, the worm goes into action e-mailing itself to the user's family, friends, collegues and any other e-mail address it came across on the user's system or network.

The latest computer technology is not always downloadable from the internet. Sometimes you actually have to add hardware to your computer and install it with a CD-rom. This hardware can be bought either in the convenience of your own home on the internet or a visit to your nearest computer store. Some of the latest computer technology involving the installation of hardware are these little devices known as the digital cameras. The digital camera could be something such as a web-cam, recently known for its contribution to the porn industry. The Web-cam is basically a small video camera, most often attached to the side of the computer monitor, which captures your image and activity. This video recording can be used to communicate with family and friends across the globe or even posted on a website, often at a price.
