The correct answer is Virus.
- A disruptive program that spreads from program to program or from disk to disk is known as a Virus.
- A computer virus is designed to spread from host to host and has the ability to replicate itself.
- When this replication succeeds, the affected areas are then said to be "infected" with a computer virus.
- A virus operates by inserting or attaching itself to a legitimate program or document that supports macros in order to execute its code.
- In the process, a virus has the potential to cause unexpected or damaging effects, such as harming the system software by corrupting or destroying data.
- Once a virus has successfully attached to a program, file, or document, the virus will lie dormant until circumstances cause the computer or device to execute its code.
