What type of malware has the primary objective of spreading across the network?
- worm
- virus
- Trojan horse
- botnet
Explanation: The main purpose of a worm is to self-replicate and propagate across the network. A virus is a type of malicious software that needs a user to spread. A trojan horse is not self-replicating and disguises itself as a legitimate application when it is not. A botnet is a series of zombie computers working together to wage a network attack.
