MALWARE Malware are kown as malicious

software or virus. To be specific malware are any program or file that is harmful to any computer user.

In Spanish, "mal" means "bad," creating the term "badware," which is a great way to understand the meaing this term (even if you are not Spanish)

Commonly you get this virus from internet by downloading free program etc.

Created by human in . Solely reasons, scientist created these virus for simply to build cash in their pockets.

Can be preventable with many program. For example, AVG Antivirus,RegCurePro,NortornAnitvirus etc.

USB USB is commonly known as Universal Serial Bus and is used to allow computers to communicate with other hardware. Usb is the most common way of

communication between computers, that are being used in today life. Its can be used to connect keyboards, mice, charging cables, and flash drives etc.

Flash drives are often referred to as USBs. They are used to transfer data from the one hardware to the other hardware. Like they are communicating and exhange information

Floppy

Follpy is also knowns as floppy disks,Like flash drives, used to store information just like fash drive but flash driver are the updated version.

Can be read and written in Floppy Disk Drive. They were first created in 1967 Floppy disks are avilable in three sizes: 8’’, 5.25’’, and 3.5’’ The 3.5’’variant is that the commonest these days

*Power Supply The power supply is hardware which provides the other hardware components with power supply (electricity).

These compents helps the computer turn on The job of the Power supply is to convert the AC current from the power outlet into DC current for the use by a computer

The polpular used program taht contain this components is: Brackers, Sublime etc.

Sound Card

Sound cards are a physical component of computers which convert digital information into analog sound, which can be heard through speakers. Sound cards have output and input capabilities Now a days they are rather popluar and they have begun to become for many indiviuals an inessential need

Video Card

Also called graphic cards, video cards are a physical parts of computers which are used to display graphics on a monitor screen. Almost used in every area

beside radios. Because video cards will generate heaps of warmth, most video cards have a conductor. Some also employ a fan to help with cooling.

Motherboard Motherboard knowns because the brain of a

compture The motherboard contains the connectors for

attaching further boards. Frequently, the motherboard involves the CPU, BIOS, memory, mass storage interfaces, serial and parallel ports, expansion slots, and all the controllers required to control regular peripheral instruments, such as visual display unit, keyboard, and disk pressure.

RAM

RAM stands for Random Access Memory A type of computer program

tha can be access randomly RAM is hardware used to store and retrieve information RAM can access data much faster then ROM, though RAM requires power to keep the data accessible

ROM

ROM stands for Read-Only Memory Like RAM, ROM is also hardware used to store and access data.

ROM can only be read and not modified

Unlike RAM, ROM does not require power to keep and access data

EPROM

EPROM stands for Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory is programmable that can be erased and resued.

Erasure is caused by shining an intense ultraviolet light through a window that is designed into the memory chip Due to ultraviolet light clears its contents, making it possible to

reproram the memory The most frequent use for an EPROM memory chip is to store pc BIOS.

Client

The client is a part of a client-server architecture. Often, a client is an utility that runs on a private pc or workstation and relies on a server to perform some operations. For instance, an electronic mail client is an application that enables you to ship and receive e mail.

Email Address A name that identifies an electronic post workplace box on a network wherever e-mail is sent. Different varieties of networks have completely different formats for e-mail addresses. On the Internet, all e-mail addresses have the form: @<domain name > For example,[email protected] Every user on the web contains a distinctive e-mail address. Th term e-address is a symbol that is commonly used for e-mail address

CACHE

A cache is a place to store something transitorily in a computing environment. It's pronounced CASH. Is used to speed up the

retrival process in computer

In computing, active data is often cached to abbreviate data access times, reduce latency and ameliorate input/output. Because virtually all computer application workload is dependent upon input and output operations, caching is utilized to amend application performance.

CD ROM CD ROM stands for Compact Disc-Read-Only Memory, a type of optical disk capable of storing large amounts

of data -- up to 1GB A single CD-ROM has the storage capacity of 700 floppy

disks To read a CD, you need a CD-ROM player. Thats is

installed in almost every computer. You can use cd to store or play videogame, audio, movie

etc. To add or store some data on the Cd Rom. You need Cd

writer.Which are used by many coftware industries.

DVD-RW

A DVD-RW disc is a rewritable optical disc with equal storage capacity to a DVD-R, typically 4.7 GB Developed by Pioneer in November 1999 The primary advantage of DVD-RW(DVD

Writer) over DVD-R(DVD Read Only) is the ability to erase and rewrite to a DVD-RW disc. One benefit to using a rewritable disc is if there are writing errors when recording data, the disc is not ruined and can still store data by erasing the faulty data. Data can thus be written, erased and re-written.

Modem

Modem a device thats is used for computer to send the data to other technology. For example Computer information is stored digital form, whereas information transmitted over telephone lines is transmitted in the form of analog waves.Which computer cannot understand nor the data from the computer(understand only didgital,not analog) to telephone(only understand analog, no didgital). So to help them commuincate A modem is used, to converts the waves or data between these two forms. From didtal to analog, From analog to digital.Which help them communicate.

MP3 Stand s for MPEG-1 Audio Layer-3 MP3 is a lossy data compression format for audio Is used to make smaller computer file containing

digitale music and other sounds. Maintaing nearly the same Cd quality sound. Because of its small size and pleasent

reliability, MP3 files have become a popular way to store music file both in computer in phone like ipod etc.Which now are used to listen music

VIRUS

A computer virus is a program or piece of code thats is that is loaded onto your computer without your knowledge from internet or anyother software that download from internet and its runs against your wishes on your PC.

Many virus that are used they make a copy of thmselves consuming your avaliable memory which brings the system to halt. All computer viruses are man-made.

An even more dangerous type of virus is capbale of bypassing the security of a computer maikng the computer unable to block any virus.

IPV6

Stands for INTERNET PROTOCOL VERSION 6 It is an IP address which uses a 128-bit format. This is also more sustainable and complex than the previous version, which was the IPV4. IPv6 is designed to allow the Internet to grow steadily, both in terms of the number of hosts connected and the total amount of data traffic transmitted.

WORM

A program or virus in a computer thats replicates himselfs over computer and perform malicious action towards the computer.

Dor example using th computer data and resources and possibally putting the computer at halt.

ADSL

Stands for Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line. This is another way to transfer data a and another way to commuincate with internet, such as a DSL. ADSL is how much data you can upload and download.

VDSL

Stands for Very-High-Bit-Rate Digital Subscriber Line. This provides high internet access. The transfer rates are very high for downloads and uploads. The shorter the

distance the faster the connection rate.

Ethernet Cable

This is a cable which connected the pc to the router. It’s basically its another way to connect Wi-Fi to pc, but instead of wireless, it’s wired. So it transfers internet/ is a manual internet connection.

DOS
