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.
