A computer virus is a malicious program that self-replicates by copying itself to another program. In other words, the computer virus spreads by itself into other executable code or documents. The purpose of creating a computer virus is to infect vulnerable systems, gain admin control and steal user sensitive data. Hackers design computer viruses with malicious intent and prey on online users by tricking them.

A macro virus is a computer virus written in the same macro language used for software programs, including Microsoft Excel or word processors such as Microsoft Word. When a macro virus infects a software application, it causes a sequence of actions to begin automatically when the application is opened.

Since a macro virus centers on an application and not an operating system, it typically can infect any computer running any operating system, even those running MacOS and Linux.

Creeper virus is a computer virus that is most commonly recognized as the first computer virus. In 1971, Bob Thomas at BBN created Creeper as an experimental self-duplicating program that was intended not to inflict damage on, but to illustrate a mobile application. Creeper corrupted DEC PDP-10 computers operating on the TENEX operating system by messing around the installed printers, displaying the message “I’m the creeper, catch me if you can!”

A computer worm is a self-replicating computer program.

It uses a network to send copies of itself to other nodes (computer terminals on the network) and it may do so without any user intervention.

Unlike a virus, it does not need to attach itself to an existing program.

Worms always harm the network (if only by consuming bandwidth), whereas viruses always infect or corrupt files on a targeted computer.

Worms mainly spread by exploiting vulnerabilities in operating systems, or by tricking users to assist them.

In fact, you can be virtually certain that your PC is infected with one or more types of malware if it exhibits one or more of the following symptoms: 1 – Your computer is slow to shut down or boot up into Windows. 2 – It won't shut down at all without pressing and holding the power button.
