Woke up Saturday morning switched on the computer and what did I find but a very bad virus. This virus had attached itself to my Internet connection and would not allow me to open any files. It would just scream at me and say that I required to buy this new virus protection programme.
Lucky I was smart enough not to put in that visa card number, where that would be the end of my funds....
This for me was the first virus I had gotten and did not really understand where it came from. My virus software is now updated and I feel very secure now.
I was speaking to Stacey Caldwell (fellow student) about this and she was telling me about the free software available on the CQU site. http://cqu-av.cqu.edu.au/. I did not realise this service was available and will now download this software as I feel that this will give me added protection.
Computer protection and identity protection safety is a very important factor when using computers in schools and at home. Students need to understand the importance of not downloading sites which are not approved by their anti virus programme and the importance of credit protection (not putting in visa card numbers). This would be really important for students in the high schools to understand - fraud.
So much to learn but yet it can all be gone in a second
