Virus is   program that loads onto your computer with letting you know. Viruses make your computer work against you. some viruses can replicate themselves.. Viruses are all man made. Viruses replicate themselves and take up all the memory space on your computer so your computer would come to a halt. There are even worse viruses, they spread through the network and passes securities system.

In 1987 a virus infected  Arpanet. Arpanet is a system used by the department of defense and many universities. Ever since that virus, many anti virus software were made. These programs check your computer system for best known viruses.

There are 3 main cases of viruses. File infectors, boot records infectors, and macro viruses. File infectors are viruses that attach themselves to files. And whenever a file is loaded the virus is also loaded. Other file infectors are attached to emails.  Boot records are viruses that infect on the systems codes. Macro viruses are the most common viruses. And they do the least damages. Macro viruses infect Microsoft word, its randomly puts in words.The best way to prevent from getting a viruses is knowing where your files are coming from and your programs. But it is usually hard to find and know all your files. That why they have programs that can scan through your emails and files for viruses and prevent viruses from coming in.

A trojans horse program purposely does something that the user does not want to. But trojans are not viruses they cant replicate themselves but they are as bad as a virus.

Some trojans are programmed to delete your files. But some are just there to annoy you, they can run random programs are add weird icons onto your computer for no reason. You usually get trojan horses when you download programs.

The first way to protect yourself from trojans is getting an anti virus. And you must keep it up to date all the time. The second is installing firewall. A firewall is a program that stops any unauthorized programs. Trojans are the most common viruses but they are extremely hard to remove.

Trojans are usually hidden. They are usually attached to emails and they usually install onto your computer once you open the emails with the trojans that are attached to it. Sometime they can be hidden into programs that look useful and are free to install.

Computer Worms are viruses that reside in the active memory of a computer and duplicate themselves. They may send copies of themselves to other computers, such as through emails.

In this activity I learned how to use google advance search. The advance search narrows down you searches, so your searches can be more specific. In the advance search there are options to find links similar to the topic that your are searching. If you are looking for school in a area its easiest if you use that, because it narrows down hundreds of website. Theres also an options to find link the links to the topic your looking for. It helps you find other website that links to the website that you are looking for.

On Thursday our school student council organized activities for our international day. One of our activities is making paper bag for a living. Many people are making paper bags for a living every night and day just to keep their family alive. My family and I were making paper bags and sold them to stores. But at the end of the “10″ minutes we ended up short on cash. We only had enough for food and had no money for rent. So we were kicked out of our house and moved under the bridge.  We were under the bridge for a while and we were still short on cash so we ended up stealing. But even when we stole, it still wasnt enought to move out. so we had to sacrifice our son. Our son had to marry the “owner” of the bridge so we can move out. So we got out , but lost one of our son. My “brother” and I ended up dying from sickness. So there were only my parents and one of my other “brother” left in the family. When they got out they had to continue to make paper bags. But at the end of the 10 minutes they still only have enough money for food. It was impossible for our family to make enough money for rent and  food. In the actvity there was one goal, the goal was to be able to pay for food, rent and school but for us it was impossible because we lost three family members, one them was married and live under the bridge and the other two died beecasue they were sick and the family didnt have enough money to pay for the doctors. There are many ways to help people to get out of this crazy cycle. We can start to donate stuff. Last year we donated clothes that we dont use anymore.

People are worrying about their body to much. Their lowering their self esteem by them selves. They compare their body to everyone else.
