Microsoft just announced that anyone with infomation for the "Conficker" worm which has infected millions of Microsoft Windows PCs over the past two months will be award $250,000!
A computer worm is a self-replicating computer program. It uses a network to send copies of itself to other nodes (computers on the network) and it may do so without any user intervention. Unlike a virus, it does not need to attach itself to an existing program. Worms almost always cause at least some harm to the network, if only by consuming bandwidth, whereas viruses almost always corrupt or modify files on a targeted computer.
