Viruses

When someone talks about a virus what i imidietly think it is that your computer was like "haked" or because you opend lets say a link or entered a page that has this virus then the people who create that virus can have do stuff in your computer including entering you email and just being in your stuff.

This topic brings alot of questions to myself. Some of those questions are..
-What can you do if your computer get a virus?
-How do to figure out that your computer has a virus?
-What can a virus do to your computer?
-Does the person that made the virus and it got into your computer see what you are doing and turn opn programs like your webcam so they can see you?

• "A computer virus is a small software program that spreads from one computer to another and interferes with computer operation. A computer virus might corrupt or delete data on a computer, use an email program to spread the virus to other computers, or even delete everything on the hard disk.Computer viruses are frequently spread by attachments in email messages or by instant messaging messages. Therefore, you must never open an email attachment unless you know who sent the message or you are expecting the email attachment. Viruses can be disguised as attachments of funny images, greeting cards, or audio and video files. Computer viruses also spread through downloads on the Internet. They can be hidden in pirated software or in other files or programs that you might download."  this defenition i found it in this very reliable website

• In this website I could find out that its really important to keep getting updates of avoiding viruses or else its easier for the virus to have a newer software than the one your computer has. 

• In this website i could find out that its extremely important that you don't open emails from people you don't know, even if they are funny pictures or tempting stuff for you to open, that way is how the viruses get into your computers. Those viruses can not only be transmited by people you don't know but also is a person you do know can be haked and the email could be sent, so be careful if you are not expecting something and it arrives. 

• Trojans: "Trojan Horses, are additions to your system. These malicious programs masquerade as legitimate files in your email, deceiving you into willfully adding them to your hard drive. Trojans rely on you to intentionally open your computer to them. Once on your machine, Trojans then function as independent programs that operate secretly. Commonly, Trojans steal passwords or perform "denial of service" (overload your system) attacks." defenition was taken out of here. As you read about the trojans they are this additions that can damage and take alot of information private information you had. so try avoid getting those trojans. 

• Worms: "Internet Worms, are also unwanted additions to your system. Worms are different from Trojans, though, because they copy themselves without your direct assistance... they robotically worm their way into your email, and begin broadcasting copies of themselves without permission. Because they do not require user intervention to reproduce, worms reproduce at an alarming rate. Examples of worms include". this defentioin was also taken out of here. Worms as they call them and you read about them you can see that they work totally by their own way and damage alot of your stuff and can even spread viruses as they can work at a amazing speed.  

• In order to remove a virus you need to run an online scan, this scan will determine what virus you had and help you delete it, this will also delete your hard disk and hopefully help your computer run better. Also before you scan it you might want to follow this steps. website

• In order for you to know that you have a virus you are going to get several clues like:

          -your computer is running slow 

          - if you computer asks you for more memory card

          - if you get unexpected messages

          - programs start automatically without you ordering them to start 

          

so if you are getting some of those alerts make sure to check on programs like the scan we talked about before.  website

This topic is really important for our everyday lives because we live in a society that is full of technology and technology brings its bad things and you need to be careful to what you open what to do in the internet because viruses can then appear in your computer. Nobody wants to have a virus because that implicated alot of problems that can evolve and become really bad. so this is something we need to be extremely aware of. 

I still wonder if there are some viruses that dont give you c=any clues that they are there so you will never find out that they are there. 

Second research day

Still i dont know what kind of univeristy i want, but what i do want is to go to a university that has many programs that have to do with community helping and programs  for volunteer to help people.

Collage research

On the first day that peopple in class researched about collages, I was in Medellin playing soccer (binationals).

Google day 3

Goals:
-Today my main goal to accomplish is to make photos cloned.
-continue with the trying of making pictures of messi and me
- keep doing collages of specific themes.

but first I did a collage replaing Antonellas (messis girlfriends) head and puting mine. In this picture also sergio ramos appears with cristiano ronaldo so we replaces cristianos face into marias... AWSOMEE This picture was made by using http://www.faceinhole.com/

The next picture was edited with the application called http://www.fotor.com/ this website i loved it, it was alot of effects and many more..

This collage of messi was with the theme of the Golden Boot a trophy he won few days ago. This was made also with the website http://www.fotor.com/

As my biggest goal was to learn how to clone.. well im working on it, so the first cloned picture was one that I had edited before... this photo was edited in the website http://fotoflexer.com/  the second one also was edited in the same website, and i think im getting better... Im going to try layer on maybe combine the cloning or something.

Today when I worked with collages I liked using like the same scenario what i mean is using like the same day, so in this collage you can see messi training.


Next day that we work on our project i will like to try to change the layers and background of the pictures because I fill that today i finished becoming like very good at collages.. maybe continue cloning also because i really like that.

LOVEING THE PROJECT!!
