(A) A Trojan Horse is malware disguised as legitimate software.
(B) A Virus inserts itself into another program. It runs and spreads itself when the program is opened.
(C) A worm is similar to a virus except that it does not need a program in order to run. It spreads by itself.

A.

(A) and (B) only

B.

(A) and (C) only

C.

(B) and (C) only

D.

(A), (B) and (C)

Correct option is D


All three statements are true.
· Trojan Horse is a type of malware that masquerades as legitimate software to trick users into executing it.
· A virus attaches itself to a legitimate program and spreads when the program is executed.
· A worm is similar to a virus but can spread without needing to attach itself to a host program.
Important Key Points:
1. Trojan Horse: Disguised as legitimate software, but its true purpose is malicious.
2. Virus: Attaches itself to other programs and spreads when the host program runs. Viruses typically require user interaction, like opening an infected file.
3. Worm: Self-replicating and can spread independently of any host program. Worms exploit network vulnerabilities to spread without human intervention.
