Definition: Virus, Worm, Trojan

[Dazed_and_Confused]

Can anyone please explain the difference between a Virus, Trojan, and Worm. It seems like I've seen these terms used interchangably at times. ???

Yes it did. Thanks Big Tex! It sounds like that I probably should have invested in anti-Worm software before anti-Trojan software. It sounds as if Worms can travel via the web freely, but Trojans usually infect your PC when you inadvertently start one by clicking on a file or downloading what you thought was a legit program from the web. :-\ Mr Worm sounds easier to accidently get.
