Answer: The goals of computer security are to protect computers and users from data theft or loss as well as damage to any part of the computer.

Explanation: Common means of achieving computer security are firewalls, anti-virus software and this can fail due to hardware problems  or   weaknesses that prevent malicious attacks.

To answer this question, think of a time when you experienced any one of these. For example, personally, I was once an unfortunate victim of a general malicious attack that took advantage of a weakness in my anti-virus software. After clicking on a link on a dodgy website, a virus was installed on my computer. My computer finally crashed, without any hope of restarting it. I lost all my data and I had to buy a new computer.  This was a malicious attack.

However, sometimes people can be specifically targeted to steal their data or monitor their activities.

Each of the following programs has errors. Find as many as you can. 65. // Find the error in this program. #include using namesp
Serggg [28]

Answer:

There are two error in this program--

  1. In header file inclusion, file is not defined.
  2. In the statement "result = ++(num1 + num2);" , bracket is fixed after the increment operator.

Explanation:

  • For the first error, the user needs to add the file because "#include" is used to add the library for the program which states about the function and symbols used in the program.
  • The second error is because there must be a variable with the increment operator ( increment operator is being used to increase the value of a variable by 1), but there is a small brace fix in between the operator and operands.
