Answer:

Worms / Viruses / Trojan Horse Virus

Step-by-step explanation:

A worm is a standalone program that can self-replicate and spread over a network. Unlike a virus, a worm spreads by exploiting a vulnerability in the infected system or through email as an attachment masquerading as a legitimate file.
