Cyber safety is the safe and responsible use of Internet and keeping information safe and
secure. It's also being responsible with that information and being respectful to other people
online.
A computer virus is an agent(some form of executable code) that can replicate and spread from
one computer to another. It can spread because its host has sent(willingly or unwillingly) it to
someone over a network or internet, or through a physical medium such as floppy disk, CD,
DVD or USB drive. Some viruses are harmful as they are programmed to harm your computer
by damaging or deleting files and programs.
A computer worm is a computer program which self-replicates itself in order to spread to
other computers. It uses the network to send copies of itself to other nodes. Unlike a virus, it
doesn't need to attach itself to an existing program.
Trojan Horse is a malicious program that looks legitimate but it can take control of the
computer. It's designed to damage, disrupt, steal or do any harm to your data or computer but
it acts like a useful or normal application.
It's the abuse of messaging systems to send unsolicited message(s) to large number of
recipients for any purpose. Most common type of spamming is email spam. It can be used for
phishing, commercial use, advertising and more negative things like proselytizing.

attackers and malicious software.
