Question 2

Part 1: Type the passage below, font size 12 point, exclude the border, & save it as virus [10 marks]

Protect Yourself: Computer Viruses Viruses, Trojan horses & worms are human-made software
programs created specifically to wreak havoc on personal computers and networks. The chance of
contracting one of these computer viruses over the Internet has increased dramatically. In fact, unless
you run anti-virus software, your computer will almost certainly become infected. Typically, you get a
virus by opening infected e-mail attachments. Some viruses are relatively harmless to individuals. They
just attach themselves to outgoing messages or e-mail themselves to all the contacts listed in your
address book.
The sudden flood of e-mail overwhelms mail servers, causing the system to crash. Other viruses are
more destructive and may lie dormant until a certain date. Then they spring to life to do their dirty
deeds. Sometimes a strange message appears on your screen, or data and programs may be modified. In
the worst case, all the files on your hard drive may be wiped out. These pernicious programs start on
one computer, then replicate quickly, infecting other computers around the world. In 1988 a student at
Cornell University sent out a virus out by accident, infecting more than 6,000 computers in minutes,
nearly bringing the Internet to its knees. More recently, the "I Love You" virus caused over $1 billion in
lost productivity as it crippled e-mail systems worldwide. Last year alone, 10,000 new viruses, Trojan
horses and worms were unleashed.

marks].

h) Replace every occurrence of the word computer with the word PC & every occurrence of the word
viruses with the word WORMS. [4 marks]
