download service, most peer-to-peer (P2P) networks are primarily used to illegally download music, movies,
and software.

Malware – Malware are programs, such as worms and viruses, that include malicious code—code written
with the intent to harm, destroy, or annoy. “Code” is a term for the language(s) computer programs are
written in—the “code” tells the computer what and how to do things. Malware can attach to e-mail and carry
out their programming which can cause computers to work improperly.

Here are some things you can do to keep your computer safe and keep it from being a
threat to other computers:
1. Make sure a firewall is installed on your computer. If you aren’t sure, ask your parents. A firewall
prevents information from entering your computer without your permission.
2. Keep your computer updated (download updates for your operating system regularly)
3. Install anti-virus software on your computer, keep it updated, and most importantly—USE it.

Lesson - Cyber Security Review
Students review what they have learned about cyber security. The correlating slideshow addresses topics such as malware, e-mail protocol, Acceptable Use Policies, peer-to-peer file sharing, and the risks of digital downloads including e-mail attachments, online programs and digital content. They then review signs of digital infection and ways to prevent cyber security issues. Students then complete a media-based empowerment project that educates others about cyber security problems and solutions.
Cyber communication is crucial to the operation of governments,
businesses, and private citizens. Computers and networks are vital
for national defense, economic security, public health and safety, and
more. Therefore, cyber security should be of concern to everyone. By
doing your part in keeping your computer secure, you are also
aiding in maintaining the entire infrastructure. Use the following
steps (listed in order of importance) and tips to make sure you are
cyber security savvy.
• Firewall: Make sure a firewall is installed on your computer. If
