INTERESTING FACTS
Computer viruses are a type of malware that have

any files that you might download.
HOW TO AVOID VIRUSES
To avoid viruses, you should NOT download any unknown
programs, files, websites, items or pop ups on the internet
if you do not know what they are.
Update your anti virus software and firewall regularly like
once a month.
You should buy an anti-virus software for MAC’s or PC’s,
like Mcafee anti-virus software or Norton anti-virus
software, because that means that you are most likely not
going to get a virus if you have a software like that.
HOW DO I KNOW IF I HAVE A VIRUS?
When you open an infected program, you may not be aware
that your computer has a virus.
There are signs, pop-up or notifications that give you a clear
indication that something is wrong.
Your computer slows down and is not its normal self.
Your computer often crashes and restarts itself, automatically.
Mysterious messages pop up or your computer responds in
unexpected ways.
When you turn on the computer the screen is black.
ENDING PHRASE
All in all, Computer Viruses are very harmful
to your computer and never click on the word
yes or I agree or giving information to
installing, downloading, pop- ups or anything
like that, that you DO NOT know about! Be safe!
