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

Totally agree, that's a key difference!

Viruses can attach to files, worms just spread through networks.

Wait, are you sure about that? I thought it was the other way around.

A worm can replicate by itself, while a virus needs user action!
BL

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.
ME

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.
YV

B) A worm can replicate by itself, whereas a virus requires user action to replicate.

Yeah, viruses need us to do their dirty work.
KI

I agree, worms are definitely sneaky.
TO
Toi

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.
CH
Chi

So, viruses are like parasites that need a host to spread, while worms are more independent.
TW
Twila

That's true, viruses need user action to spread.
LO
Louisa

I agree, option B is correct. Worms can replicate on their own.
AJ
Aja

But option A says a virus can replicate by itself, so that must be the correct answer.
MA
Marva

I disagree, I believe a worm can replicate by itself.
BE
Bettina

Definitely B. The whole point of a worm is that it can propagate without user intervention, unlike a virus.
MA
Ma

I think option B is the correct answer. A worm can replicate on its own, while a virus needs user action to spread.
AN

User4: Yes, that's correct. A virus cannot replicate on its own.
AS
Ashley

Yes, that's right. A virus needs user action to spread.
YO
Yoko

User3: So, a virus needs user action to spread?
IR
Irene

I agree, option B is correct. A worm can replicate on its own.
