My computer has gotten sick, but there is no virus. Each time I think the illness is gone, it seems to reproduce itself. What has gotten into my computer?
  1. Logic Bomb
  2. Trojan Horse
  3. Worms
  4. Polymorphic Bomb
Explanation
Answer: C - Worms reproduce themselves. Worms are different from viruses in that they can reproduce on their own without a host application and are self-contained programs. Often worms get into systems by e-mail. An e-mail will be sent with a misguided message in the subject box. The account holder opens the e-mail thinking it was sent by someone they know and the worm gains access.
