Tichifunga ndima iyi pamusoro penhoroondo yeKombiyuta Worm, ndiudzei zita rehonye yekombiyuta yokutanga iyo yakakonzera kukuvadza kumakombiyuta akawanda paInternet uye musi iyo yakasunungurwa nomusiki wayo.
Context:Tsikidzi yemakombiyuta chirongwa chemakombiyuta chine utachiona chinozvimiririra chinozvigadzira kuti chipararire kune mamwe makombiyuta. Inowanzoshandisa kombiyuta kuti izvirambe ichipararira, ichivimba nokukundikana kwezvokuchengetedza pakombiyuta yainenge ichishandiswa kuti iwane mashoko. Ichashandisa muchina uyu somuridzi kuongorora ndokupinza utachiona mimwe makombiyuta. Apo aya makombiyuta matsva anopindwa nehonye anodzorwa, honye yacho ichapfuurira kunzvera ndokukanganisa mamwe makombiyuta achishandisa makombiyuta aya semagamuchiri, uye mufambiro uyu uchapfuurira. Makonye emakombiyuta anoshandisa nzira dzokudzokorora kuti azviite makopi pasina mapurogiramu anogamuchira uye anozviparadzira achishandisa mikana yokukura nokukurumidza, nokudaro achidzora nokukuvadza makombiyuta akawanda munguva pfupi. Makonye anowanzokonzera kukuvadza kunetiweki, kunyange kana achingopedza bandwidth, nepo mavairasi anowanzokanganisa kana kuchinja mafaira ari pakombiyuta yaanoda.  Makonye mazhinji akagadzirirwa kupararira bedzi, uye haaedzi kuchinja gadziriro dzaanopfuura nadzo. Zvisinei, sezvakaratidzwa nehonye yaMorris neyaMydoom, kunyange honye idzi "dzisina basa" dzinogona kukonzera kukanganiswa kukuru nokuwedzera kufamba kwenetwork nemimwe migumisiro isingadiwi.

"Une honye huru zvikurusa yati yambosunungurwa mumambure, uye inodzvinyirira nenzira yokukurumidza nhamburiko ipi neipi yokuidzora. Hakuna kumbova nehonye ine musoro wakasimba kudaro kana kuti muswe murefu kudaro!"  Tsikidzi yechipiri yemakombiyuta yakambogadzirwa kuti ive purogiramu inorwisa utachiona.
