The first tutorial that I chose to watch was the Introduction. I chose the introduction because I am not very computer literate and it had a focus on malware. Since I didn’t know what malware was I thought that it would be a good place to start. Simply put, malware is software meant to break your computer. Yikes!!! I definitely want to learn more about that. I thought that it was interesting to learn the different ways that your computer will react when it isn’t kept safe! I always thought I just didn’t know how to use my computer correctly, but I guess that kind of is true!
The second tutorial that I chose to watch was Clean Up & Speed Up your PC. Since I now know why my computer is running so slow I thought that I should know learn how to clean it up. I was very surprised to see all of the free ways that you can clean up your own computer and it seems pretty easy!
The third tutorial that I chose was Using Firewalls. There are so many ways that you need and should protect your computer. All of the terms are very confusing to me. I thought that it was interesting that there were 2 types of firewalls, hardware and software. At least I am a little clearer on how I need to protect my computer and what all of this terminology means.
