This question is as clear as mud. It's like asking 'What's the difference between a unicorn and a rainbow?' - they're both made-up things, so how should I know?

A worm spreads via email, huh? I wonder if it's related to those Nigerian princes who keep asking me for money. Maybe they're just trying to send me a Trojan horse disguised as an email.

Hmm, I'm pretty sure a Trojan horse is a malicious program, not a utility. But I could be wrong, these cybersecurity questions can be tricky.

User 3: I think you're both correct. A worm spreads on its own, while a Trojan horse tricks users into installing it.

I believe a worm is more dangerous because it can spread rapidly through networks, while a Trojan horse relies on user interaction.

Wow, this is a tough one. I think I'll go with option A, but I'm not totally sure. Maybe I should just guess and hope for the best.

I agree with Edelmira, a worm spreads on its own, while a Trojan horse needs to be executed by the user.

A worm is self-replicating? Really? That's the major difference? I thought the worm was the one that crawls in your computer, not the Trojan horse.
