What a Computer Worm Is

Computer Worms are self replication applications which will replicate from computer to computer. They are different from viruses in that they replicate.

Computer worms tend to spread through the use of email, in which the worm sends a email to every contact in your email box. This is done so that it can replicate across computers.

I have been getting popups telling me I have Lsas.Blaster.Keyloger in my computer. I have tried sveral Anti-virus downloads but it does not remove this virus.

Lsas.Blaster.Keyloger is a virus, however, the popup itself may mean that you don’t actually have Lsas.Blaster.Keyloger. Instead what you have is adware which is attempting to advertise a program which it wants you to install despite the fact that you don’t have Lsas.Blaster.Keyloger. Therefore it may be a Lsas.Blaster.Keyloger fake
