Computer virus is an application that replicates copies of itself and further spreads itself to other machines. Viruses do not have to be created by the experts, in fact most viruses can be (and were) written by average programmers.

These programs spread in a computer network and, like viruses-"companions", don't change files or sectors on disks. Computer Worms are viruses that reside in the active memory of a computer and duplicate themselves. They may send copies of themselves to other computers, such as through email , Internet Relay Chat (IRC), Peer-2-Peer Clients e.t.c.

A Trojan Horse or Backdoor open your PC from the inside to attackers. Once a trojan is installed, someone can take full control of your computer. Trojans are not viruses since they do not replicate, but Trojan horse programs can be just as destructive. Many people use the term to refer only to non-replicating malicious programs, thus making a distinction between Trojans and viruses.
