A: A computer virus is a program that can infect other programs by modifying them in such a way as to include a copy of itself. Note that a program does not have to perform outright damage, such as deleting or corrupting files, in order to be called a "virus". Many people use the term loosely to cover any sort of program that tries to hide its malicious function and tries to spread onto as many computers as possible. Be aware that what constitutes a program for a virus to infect may include a lot more than is at first obvious - don't assume too much about what a virus can or can't do! What's more, they're spreading faster than they can be stopped, and even the least harmful of viruses could be fatal. For example, a virus that stops your computer and displays a message, in the context of a hospital life-support computer, could cost a life. Even those who created the viruses could not stop them if they wanted to; it requires a concerted effort from computer users to be virus-aware. Q: What is an e-mail phishing scam? A: In brief, a 'phishing' email is one that pretends to be from a bank, or a company like eBay, or PayPal, asking you, for various reasons, to enter your account data, such as login details, account number or PIN. These scams are often supported by fake spoof websites, and victims are tricked into thinking they are logging to a real website. Phishing is a form of identity theft, where fraudsters steal your identity and personal information to gain access to your accounts or commit other crimes using your persona. Recent cases in Ireland have resulted in hundreds of thousand of Euros being stolen from account holders. Q: Do I really need to backup my data? A: If you'd answer with; I'd miss my invoices, my customer list, my spreadsheets my tax records, then you need to backup. Backup is about protecting valuable data so that you can get it back quickly and without errors. There are many ways you could be affected. Theft, fire, or storm damage are risks but probably the most common way is computer failure - hard disk failure in particular. Q: What should I do with SPAM? A: Everyone gets spam, however you want to be sure you NEVER reply to a spam message or "unsubscribe" from it (using the links at the bottom). It is also best to never click any links contained within the text and avoid downloading any external images from within the email. All of the above are tricks spammers use to confirm your email address is active. Once they know it is active, the spam will most likely increase and you will never be removed from their lists. There is nothing you can do to prevent spam totally, but being cautious can help keep it at a manageable level. Q: Where do I start if I need help with a program? A: Unfortunately, not all programs are created with all users in mind. While we would all appreciate simple, straightforward applications, this is not always the case. Most often, if we encounter an issue with a piece of software or cannot locate the tools to perform a specific action, we turn to the Internet in search of a solution. However, one of the best resources in finding that solution is the program's help file. To quickly access the help file of the program you are currently using, simply hit F1. It's a good place to start. Q: Sometimes in Excel, I can't see all of the text I've typed in. What should I do? A: If the columns are too small for the data in them, change the column length by going up to the seam at the top of the Worksheet and double click on the mouse. When the cursor changes into a two headed arrow or when the cursor changes to the two headed arrow, drag with the mouse to make the column wider. Or if the text is longer than the cell, then select Format, Cells, Align Tab, and Wrap Text.
