Viruses

I know that a virus infects your computer and can cause it to fail, but that's all I really know. Viruses are very  dangerous and can be protected by antivirus software.
Questions?
How do you get a virus?
If you get a virus can you get rid of it after your computer is infected?
Is sending a virus illegal?

Info

  • Viruses corrupt and delete data on your computer
  • Viruses usually come from attachments on emails
  • Viruses can be disguised as anything; pictures, videos, audio, or a download
  • A virus can come as a Trojan horse or worm. Trojan Horse- a computer program that is hiding a virus. Worm- a virus that can be received and spread without people starting it.
  • Viruses first infect the computer then copy itself again and again.
  • In the U.S. it is illegal to make a virus, but in most countries it is not illegal. However it is illegal to spread a virus in most countries.
  • You can stop a virus by using antivirus software and updating it frequently.
  • There are software's called rogue security software that can be viruses or make you think you have a virus to make you pay more to get rid of it.
Relation
Viruses can ruin my computer. My dad always makes sure nothing happens and keeps the antivirus software updated and managed. I have yet to have a virus, and plan on keeping it that way.
Last Question?
How can people create a virus and disguise it?

Google day 1


3 Goals

  1. download an app software.
  2. learn the steps to making an app.
  3. learn how to make money from apps.
I learned how app making works, but didn't get to the steps. I found many app making sites, but by the time I reviewed them it was time to go. I have decide to do a basketball quiz app and made all the questions.
I want to learn how apps can make life easier next class.

Google 20%

      I want to make an app. I plan on making an app that's simple like a noise button.This app needs to be simple and yet not stolen from a popular app already out. To make an actual app I need app software and need to decide what kind of software I'm going to use. Theirs Android and iPhone software's so I need to learn the difference between them. I plan on making an iPhone app which seems easier to what I know.
     Of course being an app I can simply show everyone my app. Not to be just to short I can talk about the steps to make an app. I will talk about the things I learned and how I didn't really know anything before starting to learn this. Then I will demonstrate my app. I will let others test it out to see if they enjoy it too.
