Learning to Scan and Protect Your Computer


                       •  Open the antivirus software by finding its icon on the desktop and double-clicking it.
                       •   Once it’s open, choose the option for a "Quick Scan" to quickly check for any harmful files on
                          the computer.


                       •  Watch as the antivirus program scans the system. This may take a few minutes.
                       •  After the scan is complete, check the results to see if any viruses or threats were found.


                       •  If threats are detected, choose the option to "Remove" them.
                       •   Finally, discuss with your classmates how the antivirus helped protect the computer and why
                          regular scans are important.


                      How a firewall helps keep your computer safe from hackers.
                       •  Open the computer's firewall settings.


                       •  Turn on the firewall if it’s off.
                       •  Try blocking certain apps and websites to see how the firewall protects the computer.
