create multi-functional Trojans rather than Trojan packs.
Worms can be classified according to the propagation method they use,
i.e. how they deliver copies of themselves to new victim machines.
Worms can also be classified by installation method, launch method and finally according
to characteristics standard to all malware: polymorphism, stealth etc.

execute malicious code, destroy data, include the machine in bot networks and so forth.
