vi·rus [vahy-ruhs] -noun, plural -rus·es: A virus is a computer program that can copy itself and infect a computer without permission or knowledge of the user.

Actually, the word virus is a generic term used to describe many forms of Malware that can infect and damage a computer system. Some viruses are very simple and execute a single task that could be, for the most part, harmless, while others may be much more complex, such as a metamorphic virus, which, along with a metamorphic engine, can reprogram itself, helping to shield itself and it's children from detection.

No matter how you look at it, a computer virus is something no computer user wants to encounter. The results can be devastating, data loss, complete system shutdown, even loss of valuable hardware.

Worms almost always cause harm to the network, if only by consuming bandwidth, whereas viruses almost always corrupt or modify files on a targeted computer.
