Correct Answer - Option 3 : Spam
The correct answer is Spam
- A computer worm is a standalone malware computer program that replicates itself in order to spread to other computers.
- It often uses a computer network to spread itself, relying on security failures on the target computer to access it.
- A computer virus is a type of computer program that, when executed, replicates itself by modifying other computer programs and inserting its own code.
- If this replication succeeds, the affected areas are then said to be "infected" with a computer virus.
-
Spam is unsolicited and unwanted junk email that is sent out in bulk to a user’s computer through the internet.
- Typically, most spam message is sent for commercial advertising and phishing, which is an economically very cost-effective medium for the spammer.
- In computer security, a threat is a potential negative action or event facilitated by a vulnerability that results in an unwanted impact on a computer system or application.
Therefore, an unsolicited e-mail message send to many recipients at once is called Spam.
