A computer virus is a malicious piece of code that spreads from device to device and can damage systems or steal data. It replicates like a biological virus, infecting programs and files to disrupt normal functioning or stop a computer altogether. Common ways viruses spread include email attachments, visiting infected websites, and sharing files. Symptoms include slow performance, crashes, and data loss. Antivirus software detects and removes viruses by comparing files to databases of known threats. Basic protection methods involve antivirus software, firewalls, secure browsing, and safe downloading practices.

A computer virus is a malware program that when executed replicates by inserting copies of itself into other computer programs, data files. When this replication succeeds, the affected areas are then said to be infected. Viruses often perform some type of harmful activity on the infected hosts such as accessing private information, corrupting data or even rendering the computer useless. However, not all viruses carry a destructive payload or attempt to hide themselves.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2. A computer virus is a malicious piece of computer code designed to spread from
device to device. A subset of malware, these self-copying threats are usually
designed to damage a device or steal data
Think of a biological virus
The kind that makes you sick. It’s persistently nasty,
keeps you from functioning normally, and often requires
something powerful to get rid of it.
A computer virus is very similar
Designed to replicate relentlessly, computer viruses infect
your programs and files, alter the way your computer
operates or stop it from working altogether.
What is Virus?
3. What does a computer virus do?
Some computer viruses are programmed to harm your
computer by damaging programs, deleting files, or
reformatting the hard drive. Others simply replicate
themselves or flood a network with traffic, making it
impossible to perform any internet activity. Even less
harmful computer viruses can significantly disrupt your
system’s performance, sapping computer memory and
causing frequent computer crashes.
Do You Know?
First PC virus was created by two Pakistani brothers Amjad Farooq Alvi and Basit Farooq Alvi in 1986. This virus
was called Brain and It was the first PC virus that began infecting floppy disks.
4. How does a computer get a virus?
Even if you’re careful, you can pick up computer viruses through normal Web activities like:
• Sharing music, files, or photos with other users
• Visiting an infected website
• Opening spam email or an email attachment
• Downloading pirated games, toolbars, media players and other system utilities
• Installing mainstream software applications without thoroughly reading license agreements
5. How do computer viruses spread?
The first known infections
from SARS-CoV-2 were
discovered in Wuhan,
China.
It started from one city
and in a short time period,
it was spread almost all
over the world.
6. How do computer viruses spread?
Viruses can be spread several ways:
Networks Discs
Email Attachments
External Storage Devices
According to the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, infected email attachments
are the most common means of circulating computer viruses.
Most, but not all, computer viruses require a user to take some form of action, like enabling
“macros” or clicking a link, to spread.
7. What are the symptoms of a computer virus?
Your computer may be infected if you recognize any of these malware symptoms:
Slow Computer Erratic Computer Behavior Unexplained data loss Frequent computer crashes
8. How are computer viruses removed?
Antiviruses have made great progress in being able to identify and prevent the spread of
computer viruses. When a device does become infected, though, installing an antivirus
solution is still your best bet for removing it.
Once installed, most software will conduct a “scan” for the malicious program. Once
located, the antivirus will present options for its removal. If this is not something that can
be done automatically, some security vendors offer a technician’s assistance in removing
the virus free of charge.
9. Examples of computer viruses
While tens of thousands of computer viruses still roam the internet, they have diversified their methods and are
now joined by several malware variants like:
A worm is a type of virus that, unlike traditional viruses, usually does not require
the action of a user to spread from device to device..
As in the myth, a Trojan is a virus that hides within a legitimate-seeming program to
spread itself across networks or devices.
Ransomware is a type of malware that encrypts a user’s files and demands
a ransom for its return. Ransomware can be, but isn’t necessarily, spread
through computer viruses.
10. How Does Antivirus Work?
• An antivirus software works by scanning incoming files or code that's being passed through your network traffic.
• Companies who build this software compile an extensive database of already known viruses and malware
and teach the software how to detect, flag, and remove them.
• When files, programs, and applications are flowing in and out of your computer, the antivirus compares them to
its database to find matches. Matches that are similar or identical to the database are isolated, scanned, and
removed.
11. Computer virus protection
• Use antivirus protection and a firewall
• Get antispyware software
• Always keep your antivirus protection and antispyware software up-to-date
• Update your operating system regularly
• Increase your browser security settings
• Avoid questionable Websites
• Only download software from sites you trust.
• Carefully evaluate free software and file-sharing applications before downloading
them.
• Don't open messages from unknown senders
• Immediately delete messages you suspect to be spam
