Worms
Computer worms are malicious software applications designed to spread via computer networks, they are one type of Malware and the easiest way to get a worm is by opening an email. You won’t get a worm if you install or maybe listen to something on internet, they are mostly found in emails. They are too complex to be detected by the normal Anti-virus, so sometimes you need a special Anti-virus (in most of the time you have to pay to obtain them).
