A transient virus has a life that depends on the life of its host; the virus runs when its attached program executes and terminates when its attached program ends. A resident virus locates itself in memory; then it can remain active or be activated as a stand-alone program, even after its attached program ends.
A resident virus don't search for host when they are started.

What are the difference between resident and non resident viruses?
A Nonresident is a computer virus that is not stored on the hard drive of the computer system. Rather, the virus makes a home in an executable file that infects a computer each time it is accessed and run. While Resident viruses do not search for hosts when they are started.
