_________9. Not all bugs slither and crawl. A bug can also be an error in a computer program.
When a computer tries to read a program with a bug in it, the bug will affect the computer in one
of two ways: the computer may process the error and continue running the program. In this case
the bug only has a small effect on the computer; however, if the computer cannot process the
error, then the bug will cause the computer to freeze and crash. This will require the user to
restart the program or the computer. Bugs are pesky to computer programmers and users.

_________10. Computers are very complex machines, but everything that they do can be put into
two basic categories: inputting and outputting. Inputting is when the computer accepts
information entered by the user. Outputting is when the computer returns information to the
user. When you press a key on your keyboard, you input information. When the letter that you
pressed appears on your monitor, your computer is outputting. Both inputting and outputting
require the computer to process information, but input is controlled by the user and output is
controlled by the computer. Without inputting and outputting, there would be no computing.

__________11. Have you ever received an email from a strange address with nothing but a
mysterious link in the body? Don’t click that link! It may be a drive-by download attack, a
common way of infecting computers. These attacks may start as link in an email or Facebook
inbox. If you click the link, your computer browser will connect to a website created to attack
computers. Once you have connected with the attack site, it will begin scanning your computer
for weaknesses. If it finds a weakness, your computer will begin downloading a harmful file. You
will not know that you are downloading this file. It will happen without your knowledge or
permission. After the download is complete, the file will run and the attacker will have control of
your computer. As you continue browsing the internet, you may not even realize that you have
been victimized. The drive-by download attack is one of the most common threats to computer
users today.

__________12. Computer viruses are scary. If an attacker gets control of your computer, they can
snoop through your files, steal your sensitive information, and even use your computer’s
webcam and microphone to spy on you. But just because there are scary things on the Internet,
doesn’t mean that we should stay off of the Internet. Instead, practice safe habits such as
installing virus protection. Virus protection will not protect you against all attacks, but it may
stop the most common ones. It also helps to keep your software up to date. Software updates
close security holes. By installing updates from software providers, you will have a stronger
system. Perhaps the most important thing that you can do is to be smart about how you browse.
Don’t click on suspicious links and don’t open attached files unless you are expecting them. The
Internet can be a dangerous place, but you’ll be safer if you take, a few precautions. Happy
browsing!

__________13. Viruses can mess up computers and make them run slowly. If you’ve ever gotten a
virus on your computer, you may have wondered why someone would go through all of that
trouble just to ruin your computer. There are two reasons why people spread viruses: money and
power. If someone infects your computer with a virus, they can make money by stealing your
sensitive information and selling it to identity thieves. Or, they can gain power by using your
computer to attack other computers and websites to take them offline. Your computer makes an
attractive target to cybercriminals because they can use it to gain money and power.
