STAY SAFE!!

Don’t fall for the same old tricks !!

A Virus is something that people use to get into your electronic

device. You should always protect your computer device

as viruses can let people take your money or see what you are doing.

As I said a virus can let people see what you are doing, let people hack

into your computer device, make your device very slow and generally

make your life hard.

To get rid of a virus you can …

Install software that help you get rid of it but you must use a professional site and don’t do it yourself get an adult who knows what they are doing to get rid of it.

Make sure you use a professional site otherwise you can just end up getting more viruses.

The draw backs of an anti-viruses software is that if suddenly when you

are in the middle of a piece of work and it just decides

to do a check it makes your computer really slow. It may take something

like 5 minutes just for the letter you just typed to appear

so some people decide not to have them.

But it is up to you.

A hacker is somebody who try’s to get into people’s

computers and take all their private information.

Hackers also try to get into people’s computers to

take people’s money.

Never trust anyone you meet

on the internet

Hackers get into you computer by …

1. Sending viruses onto your computer

2. By emails

3. By dodgy games ect..

Hackers do all sorts of damage they try get money

by threatening people, they try to knock down the internet

and try to see all your personal information.

It’s no all bad though, you can them!

You can get firewall - which stops people looking around

our computer and you can get anti viruses soft wear which

stops hacker coming through to you by viruses.

As long as you have all these things you be a lot safer!!

We must back things up because otherwise if something happens

to our computer then we won’t have anything left.

Backing up is something were you have extra protection for

your work so you know you wont lose it.

The things we must back up are…

Photo’s

Music

Important documents

Anything special

anything important

anything you want to keep

The things we can back things up onto are…

A memory stick

Portable hardrive

online

print copies out and give them to friends to look after

If you don’t back things up you are in risk of losing everything

special on your computer.

Remember

Stay Safe!!!!!!
