Google day # 2

1. What are my top colleges and why?

2. What actors/actresses have won more than two Oscars?

1. This is the list of my top options:

• Juilliard School
• UCLA
• Yale School of Drama 
• Tisch School of Arts 

This are my top four out of the many colleges I researched last time. This is mainly due to the excellent dramatic school they have, which have been in the top ten list for many consecutive years. Another reason as to why these options is due to the prestige they have. The last reason is that some of these colleges offer the alumni contacts, promotion, and support in the industry they want to work in.

• The most dangerous virus was identified in 2002 which is called Beast Trojan Horse.
• This virus will not infect your computer automatically, until you actually execute the virus.
• It can steal your secret or personal information.
• Other viruses are the SQL Slammer, MyDoom, Bandook Rat, and Blackworm.

This are the ways you can prevent viruses:

• Install a safe anti-virus.
• Install anti-spyware.

In order to remove a virus manually you first have to run the anti-virus program to look for it. When you find it, go to your email and look at the message that had the virus, then go to the antivirus vendor website find the virus and the information on how to remove it. 

This topic relates to my daily life because I am an active user of the internet and if I do not take care of myself and my information I can be the next victim of one of these viruses that can damage my computer and steal my secret or personal information. 

How can you identify a virus on the internet?
