Computer Viruses

Computer not feeling so well? Maybe it’s got a virus! In this BrainPOP UK movie on computer viruses, Tim and Moby will show you exactly how these aggravating, little things can get inside your system and wreak havoc on your hard drive. In this educational, animated movie, you’ll discover why computer viruses are so much like biological viruses. Then you’ll learn about software viruses, e-mail viruses, worms, and Trojan horses. Why you should be careful when downloading software or opening an email attachment. Don’t get too panicky, though — Tim and Moby will also tell you how you can use anti-virus software to protect your system against these attackers. (Just don’t douse your computer in orange juice, please!)
