Virus infects worm by mistake - New malware morphs into different shapes unattended by humans: By Loredana Botezatu on MalwareCity.com: http://www.malwarecity.com/blog/virus-infects-worm-by-mistake-1246.html

'Now, another “practice” has silently emerged: the file infector that accidentally parasites another e-threat. A virus infects executable files; and a worm is an executable file. If the virus reaches a PC already compromised by a worm, the virus will infect the exe files on that PC - including the worm. When the worm spreads, it will carry the virus with it. Although this happens unintentionally, the combined features from both pieces of malware will inflict a lot more damage than the creators of either piece of malware intended.'

And thank you Loredana Botezatu to make me wake up and make me fear! Finally.
PS. Morphing example for you I found:
