Downloading music from the Internet became popular when millions first used Napster to download their
favorite songs rather than trekking to a store to buy the CD. Although Napster has now transitioned to a legal
download service, most peer-to-peer (P2P) networks are primarily used to illegally download music, movies,
and software.

The computer has become a powerful tool for use by anyone. The Internet has opened new boundaries and
frontiers. Communication, expression of ideas, information, all are available nearly instantaneously. However,
as you can imagine, such a powerful tool can be used for bad things too. Computers can be vulnerable
to viruses, worms, Trojans, hacking, etc. As Americans rely more and more on computers the possibilities
and opportunities for abuse abound.

Do you know that you can do your part to protect your country? Protection against a cyber terrorist attack
begins at home. Ensuring that your personal computer is secure could play a crucial role in protecting the
national Internet infrastructure. Attacks of all kinds can take advantage of home computers. Denial of service,
virus and worms, all make use of the home computer and can cause untold damage and downtime nationally.
However, by taking a few simple steps average home computer users (meaning you) can have safe, protected

The government has taken many steps to protect our country against future terrorist attacks. At airports
there is extra security. News stations monitor our safety status. However, what have they done to protect our
computers from a cyber attack? The government protection plan takes several different formats, and extends
beyond just prevention to proactive strategies for minimizing damage from cyber attacks.

Directions:
You and your classmates will be on a scavenger hunt for priceless knowledge. Plan wisely how you will divide up tasks—will one read, one write, one present? Or perhaps each take a question and divide up the articles? It’s your choice but choose wisely—there is a time limit and a goal. No answer is ever completely correct—you’ll have choices in your answers.
Think and discuss what you have seen and read. Then use your brains to
come up with your own answers. You’ll have to discuss what you’ve seen, read, and
answered so be PREPARED!!

Topic 4
Security System Check 3: Malicious Programs
Goal: to understand (1) basic prevention methods to counteract malicious code, and (2) how to download
virus-protection software on your computer
Malicious Programs
What: Malware includes all and any programs (including macros and scripts) that are deliberately coded in
order to cause an unexpected (and usually unwanted) event on a user’s PC. Viruses, worms, and Trojan horses
fall under this category. Each of these can cause your computer to act up.
Working in collaborative groups, students engage in a short research project on a specific type of malware. They create multimedia presentations that integrate multiple sources of credible information and include source citations. As experts on the subject, students define aspects of digital security and inform on how the audience can better protect their computers and devices from malicious code such as viruses, Trojan horses, worms, and spyware.
