Yeah, worms are way more dangerous since they don’t need help to spread!

I feel like I’ve seen a question like this before, and I think a virus attaches to files while a worm spreads independently. So, option B sounds right to me!

I’m confused about the illicit server part. I don’t recall that being a key difference in our study materials.

I remember practicing a question about this! I think worms can replicate on their own, which makes me lean towards option B too.

I think a virus needs user action to spread, so maybe option B is correct? But I'm not entirely sure.

I've got this! A virus can replicate by itself, but a worm needs user action to spread. I'm pretty confident that's the right answer.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I know viruses and worms are both types of malware, but I can't quite recall the specific differences. I'll have to review my notes to make sure I get this right.

Okay, I remember learning about this in class. I think the key difference is that a virus requires user action to replicate, while a worm can replicate on its own. Let me double-check that.

I'm pretty sure the difference has to do with how they replicate, but I'm not 100% sure. I'll have to think this through carefully.

B is the right answer. Worms are the sneaky ones that can spread by themselves, while viruses are more dependent on us.

Haha, I'm pretty sure a worm is the one that can sneak in on its own. Viruses are the ones that need a human to lend a hand.

Option B makes the most sense. Worms are the autonomous ones, while viruses need a little push from the user.
