         <description><![CDATA[<div><strong><em>How does the browser affect performance?<br></em></strong>- Browser are designed to accommodate various controls a website requires. With IE(Internet Explorer) being the slowest due to its slow capabilities of adapting to such demands. But IE is also the fastest browser in loading websites which are written simple enough to a point that it can comprehend without any listeners.<br>- Chrome on the other hand tends to be slower due to its various listeners which are active. This also means that it draws up a lot of memory to load up.<br><strong><em>Name some different browser</em></strong></div><div>- Google Chrome<br>- Mozilla Firefox<br>- Internet Explorer<br>- Microsoft Edge<br>- Safari</div><div><strong><em>What is most common in the UK?</em></strong></div><div>- Google Chrome (www.google.co.uk)</div><div><strong><em>What is most common in the USA?</em></strong></div><div>- Google Chrome (www.google.com)</div><div><strong><em>What is most common globally?</em></strong></div><div>- Google Chrome (www.google.com)</div><div><strong><em>What is a plug in?</em></strong></div><div>- A plug in is typically a third-party software rather than the developer of the browser and are either called "add-ons" or "extensions". These are used as toolbars and support a wide range of graphics, animation, audio and video formats.</div><div><strong><em>How do they affect performance?</em></strong></div><div>- They affect the performance by slowing down the rate at which the browser will load up. The more plug-ins you have, the more work the processor is required to do for it to load.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div><strong><em>When was the first virus written?<br></em></strong>- Before 1988, most viruses were mere annoyances and virtually harmless. Within Janaury 1986, the first virus was born, written for Windows based PCs. It was known as "Brain". Written by two brothers, Basit and Amjad Frooq Alvi, whom were only 17 and 24 years old during the time.<br>The virus came to fruition due to the heart monitoring program they wrote were pirated and were distributed without the brothers' permission. The virus was created as a way to regulate and protect their software. If the hear-monitor program were to be illegally copied, those copied versions, if installed on a pc, an imbedded message would tell the user that their pc were infected with a virus and would need to contact the brothers for "inoculation".<strong><em><br>Find examples of some famous viruses.<br></em></strong>- CryptoLocker<br>- ILOVEYOU<br>- Zues<br>- MyDoom<strong><em><br>How did they work?</em></strong></div><div>- <strong>CryptoLocker</strong> - This was a form of trojan horse ransomware which targeted Windows based PCs. It spread through various different methods such as email. Once a pc is infected, it would encrypt certain files within the hard drive or any mounted storage connected to the pc using RSA public key cryptography.<br>- <strong>ILOVEYOU</strong> - This virus costed a total of $10 billion worth of damage. 10% of the world's internet-connected pcs were believed to be have been infected. The infection was so severe that the goverment and some large corporations took their mailing system offline to aid with preventing the infection. Created by two Filipino programmers, once the .txt file was clicked onto, it would download itself onto and would send everyone within the user's mailing list and would proceed to overwrite files with itself making the pc unbootable.<br>- <strong>Zeus </strong>- Trojan horse made to infect Windows PC with the intention of performing various criminal tasks. The most common was usually the man-in-the-browser keylogging and form grabbing.<br>- <strong>MyDoom </strong>- This was a worm for Windows based PCs which became one of the fastes spreading email worm since the <strong>ILOVEYOU</strong> virus. The worm spreads by itself by appearing as an email transmission error which contains an attachment of itself. Once the worm is executed, it will sent itself to email addresses within the user's contact list and copies itself to any P2P(Peer To Peer) programs' folder to propagate itself throughout that network. The main program itself, opens a backdoor to allow remote access and it then launches a DOS attack on the SCO Group. The damage caused by this worm was around $38.5 Billion and is still active to this day.</div><div><strong><em>What were they set up to do?<br></em></strong>- Most malwares are made for the purpose of malicious intent. Either it be corruption of files and damage, accessing private data, ransom, personal gain and others.<strong><em><br>What is a key-logger?<br></em></strong>- A key-logger is a type of monitoring software which reveals every click and touch, conversation and download. This is a software which tracks/logs the keystrokes the user has used on their keyboard. This is done with malicious intent as this would allow the attacker see information such as your username or password, credit car numbers and many others.<strong><em><br>What is a polymorphic virus?<br></em></strong>- This is a complicated virus which affects data types and functions. This is a self-encrypted virus designed with the purpose of avoiding detection by a scanner. As infection occurs, the virus duplicates itself by creating usable or slightly modified versions of itself. To be able to remove polymorphic viruses would require the programmers to rewrite language strings which can be complex, time-consuming and costly.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Social engineering is essentially the art of gaining access to buildings, systems or data by exploiting human psychology, rather than by breaking in or using technical hacking techniques. For example, instead of trying to find a software vulnerability, a social engineer might call an employee and pose as an IT support person, trying to trick the employee into divulging his password. <br>Your username will be private and won’t ever be shown publicly on any BBC website or app <br>A <strong>good password</strong> is made up of a number of different <strong>characteristics</strong>. For instance, it should be at least 6 - 8 characters long and should include at least two uppercase letters, lowercase letters and numbers&nbsp;<br>Protect data<br><br></div>]]></description>
