Most often the terms virus, worm and trojan horse are use interchangeably, though there are technical difference between them.
What's your idea with regards to the definition of the three?

virus usually included on the program or file,and then the file spread of the virus from one computer to another computer
the worm is like a virus but the different is the worm can spread to another computer without user help
and the trojan is like a virus which can disturb user to use they computer but trojan can duplicate his self
