Virus:

A virus is a self replicating program that attaches itself to an executable file.

Once it enters into system memory it either searches for other files that can be infected or stays in the background and infect the files that are uses the virus infected program.


Spyware:

Key loggers is a great example of spyware software.


Worms:
Worms are very similar to viruses but differ in way that they don't bind themselves to executable files instead to replicate themselves they uses the network.
If you find excessive use of your network bandwidth then you may be infected by a worm.So,a worm don't require a user to execute any file for its execution it can work without user intervention.
