Blog # 8

In chapter 8, I learned about the different types of viruses that can infect your computer. One of the viruses is called a boot sector virus. A boot sector virus is something that starts up your computer under an infected version instead of the normal start up program. Another computer virus is a worm. A worm is a program that copies itself in the memory or a network until the computer needs to shut down itself or the network. Lastly, a Trojan Horse virus is designed to look like a legitimate program but it really is not.

The power point assignments we did were also a lot of fun. I really learned a lot more about power point that I did not know about. For example, one of the assignments was to make a trivia game. I made mine about state birds and flowers and I learned how to set up a game board. I also learned how to put in action buttons into my presentation that can go to the next slide or to a hyperlink.

As I said in my last post, I have begun the process of applying to grad schools. I just wanted to let everyone know that I actually used what I learned in this class to send out letters. I did not know how to make labels before and since I learned that in this class, I made professional labels. I also made professional envelopes which is something else I learned in this class. The labels and envelopes really helped my stuff stand out and not look so plain.
