Virus safety
There are lots of different viruses that can make your Internet act strange, your computer really slow and make things pop up on the screen. You could get someone to come and fix it but the better way is to make sure they don’t come in the first place. You should always have a virus checker to see if you have a virus and if you have one it will most probably fix it. Viruses do bad things to your computer, you can get a virus when you are visiting a corrupt website or opening an email somebody sent you that has been affected. If you find out something is wrong with your computer always tell a parent or guardian because sometimes it can be quite serious. If you’re worried about a virus, you might think it will damage your computer permanently, but a lot of the time viruses are basically not harmful. You should never be afraid of a virus after all what is the worst thing it can do to your computer?
