Virus and Worm

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

A virus propagates by arranging to have itself executed — infecting stored documents or code, typically with a user's help — while a worm replicates itself across a network without user intervention.

Show

One spreads through a school's shared files and habits; the other walks the network alone.

Watch for

The user's role is the dividing line.
