What are computer virus ? Explain in detail.In your answer include symptoms and prevention (3each)

Elenna [48]

Answer:

Explanation:

A computer virus is a form of malicious software that piggybacks onto legitimate application code in order to spread and reproduce itself.

Like other types of malware, a virus is deployed by attackers to damage or take control of a computer. Its name comes from the method by which it infects its targets. A biological virus like HIV or the flu cannot reproduce on its own; it needs to hijack a cell to do that work for it, wreaking havoc on the infected organism in the process. Similarly, a computer virus isn't itself a standalone program. It's a code snippet that inserts itself into some other application. When that application runs, it executes the virus code, with results that range from the irritating to the disastrous.

Computer virus symptoms

How can you tell if a virus has slipped past your defenses? With some exceptions, like ransomware, viruses are not keen to alert you that they've compromised your computer. Just as a biological virus wants to keep its host alive so it can continue to use it as a vehicle to reproduce and spread, so too does a computer virus attempt to do its damage in the background while your computer still limps along. But there are ways to tell that you've been infected. Norton has a good list; symptoms include:

Unusually slow performance

Frequent crashes

Unknown or unfamiliar programs that start up when you turn on your computer

Mass emails being sent from your email account

Changes to your homepage or passwords

The definition of network is:

kondaur [170]

$\text{Hello there!}$

Networks were originally used as a government weapon 61 years ago to communicate information such as data and research. However, individual networks were eventually discontinued by the government and made open to the public to use for things such as PAN, LAN, MAN, WAN, SAN, and so on.

Our internet today is capable of communicating with bilions of computers. This is possible due to your modem using radio wave-like speeds to connect to your ISP. Your ISP then connects to a larger network, which is connecting to thousands of other networks. You see, the internet is just a large network of networks that are connected through very fast radiowaves. However, it is not just a single network being used anymore; it's thousands of them. The term, "internet" was used to describe this large selection of networks. In short, B would be incorrect.

The worldwide web is a protocol used by the internet to connect to select websites favourably from whoever's using it. This obviously would not define the network, as this is something that's used by it. Furthermore, A would not be correct.

As described already, the network was a selection of computers used to communicate information to each other. C would not be correct as it states that there is only one computer being used.

$\fbox{Therefore, D would be the correct answer.}$

Variable index has a value of 4, and variable accessValid has a value of False. What value does variable, accessPoints, have aft

snow_lady [41]

Answer:

10

Explanation:

If index is greater than or equal to 2, accessPoints will increase by 10 even if accessValid is false because the if statement states that if index is greater than or equal to 2 OR accessValid is true. The if statement gets executed if either expression is true, and index is greater than 2 because index has a value of 4.
