Viruses















Computer Virus





A computer virus is a program or piece of code that is loaded onto your computer without your knowledge and runs against your wishes. Viruses can also copy themselves. All computer viruses are man-made. A simple virus that can make a copy of itself over and over again is relatively easy to produce. Even such a simple virus is dangerous because it will quickly use all available memory and bring the system to a halt. An even more dangerous type of virus is one capable of transmitting itself across networks and by passing security systems.

Data types









Database booklet
How to create a database on Microsoft access

First of all you need to know what/who your audience  is and what its going to be about so for example with the one I am doing is about people going to a mountain and it is for the police to try and figure out a murder so I had climb time (when the person climbed the mountain) it is those kind of things that your meant to be looking at.      

After you have done that then you click on the table button and this comes up this is the very beginning of your database this is where you put your  fields and people in. if you look at the next page it shows you different fields and data types
