Worm computer virus
Computer worms. Conceptual computer artwork of a globe and computer screens with worm shapes (red) representing computer worm programs. Computer worm programs spread through computer networks like the internet, the global network of computers. Worms, unlike computer viruses, do not run using another program. They run independently and carry out the usually malicious instructions in their program, such as deleting computer data. When replicating, they take up bandwidth, the capacity to transmit data over a network. This can slow down the whole internet. Computer worm programs are considered to be more destructive than computer viruses

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of computer worms, a malicious type of software that can wreak havoc on computer networks. The artwork showcases a globe surrounded by multiple computer screens adorned with vibrant red worm shapes, symbolizing the spread of these destructive programs through the internet and global network of computers. Unlike traditional viruses, computer worms operate independently without relying on another program to execute their instructions. This independence allows them to carry out various malicious actions outlined in their programming, such as deleting valuable data or disrupting network operations. As they replicate themselves within a system, they consume bandwidth - the capacity for transmitting data over a network - which can significantly slow down internet speeds worldwide. Computer worm programs are widely regarded as more destructive than viruses due to their ability to cause widespread damage and disruption across communication channels. Their presence poses significant risks in terms of privacy breaches, financial losses, and even potential cybercrimes. This thought-provoking artwork serves as a reminder of the constant technological threats we face in our interconnected world. It highlights the importance of robust cybersecurity measures and vigilant practices to safeguard against these illegal activities that exploit vulnerabilities within our computing systems.
