A worm is also a piece of software who has different function with the same harmful effect. What it did was to use a network and security holes in order to replicate itself.
Why the virus existed? It came from a writer (programmer) of the virus whose only interest is to damage people's property. He has a destructive tendency to let the world suffer because of his own personal gain or his joy and his desperation. This kind of virus writer take revenge for whatever purpose with no valid reason at all. This is the kind of virus writer that the mind gone wrong and keep on wandering, the kind of mind that need treatment and cure. He uses is talent in bad faith. He has a negative outlook in life wasting his talent instead of developing it. It becomes his thrill or his fascination funneling his energy to create a destructive program for fun.
Virus writer is a genius and also the destroyer. He was a shortsighted fellow missing the point of what it would become when such virus destroys everything on its path. He is against people, not against the hard disk because people are the one that operate the system. This is the kind of writer who has evil intent whose only concern is publicity to let the world know that he can destroy everything at the tip of his finger.
There are many kind of virus that spreads using the Windows e-mail program Outlook. The -email came from addresses that you will recognize.
