> Worms allways uses OS bugs, but viruses don't, right? Not true... Virus versus worm has to do with the purpose of the program not the method of propegation. If its goal is to destroy something (.jpg files or .mp3 files) and replicate itself then it is a virus.
If its only goal is to replicate itself... Then it is a worm. The method for the replication is irrelivant. For an example of a good email worm... Look at W95.Hybris (ie: Snowwhite and the seven dwarfs)... To this day I still get these... I guess people just want to see naked dwarf cartoon sex. Who am I to judge? ;) But like anything in life there are always exceptions...
