• It keeps our information protected and helps prevent viruses and malware, which allows programs to run quicker and smoother.

2. Secure Private Information:

• It safeguards confidential and sensitive information.
• The advancement in science and technology has changed day to day activities. We rely on computers and mobile phones, where we access a lot of information which we do not want to share with others. This information may include our passwords, banking details, contacts, pictures, etc. To protect this information we need to make our devices secured that no one can damage or access this information without our consent.

3. Provide Safe Environment:

• Computer Security is important as it enables people to perform their work in safe environments.
• It helps in the execution of essential business processes.

Q.8. What is the Difference between web hosting and web server.
Ans: Difference Between web Hosting And Web Server

S. No.	Web Hosting	Web Server
1.	A web hosting is a service that has access to an internet server. It is sold by specific companies called "web hosters". They rent their servers to their customers, allowing them to create their websites.	A web server is an entity that accepts requests via HTTP or a similar protocol and generates a response to access any website. It can be numeric in the case of Apache web server program, or physical, as a dedicated machine (computer which runs software).
2.	Web host types are shared host, dedicated host, free host and reseller host among others.	Web servers can be of different types such as proxy servers, mail servers, applications servers and others.
3.	A web host uses mltiple networks devices, such as it uses switches and routers to relay information from servers and to servers. Web hosts store multiple servers in multiple data centers and also helps in managing data (hardware and software) properly for their customers.	A web server receives data and performs all the operations before returning their results to clients. When any server whether a physical or a software server receives a request then after that it takes the help of the related database and then fills the HTML files with all the recently received information which has been generated.
4.	Example, a web host is a group of companies such as HostGator, Godaddy Hosting, Blue Host, and so much more hosting company.	Example: Web servers like Apache, Google Web server, etc. run the software. We can also call this software a web server.

9. Discuss the importance of ERD in business.
Ans: Entity Relationship Diagram (ERD) graphically displays the structure of a database. Following are the importance of Entity-relationship diagram (ERD) in business.

• Assist the Database Developer:
  The ER Diagram assists the design even before the construction of tables begins.
• Visualizing Data:
  This helps the users to plan how to organize data. Entity relationship diagramming is functional as a method of better visualizing data. Every manager of a multinational enterprise knows that spreadsheets are pretty much useless when it comes to understanding the overall picture of their entity's operations and how they are structured in relation to each other.ERD takes advantage of the basic learning strategy that's programmed into our minds by extending the programming into compatible and digestible visualizations of the relationships making up our entity.
• Documentation Tool:
  ER Diagrams can work as a documentation to make others understand the core of the database. Software applications that diagram entity relationships are meant to make those relationships come to life on the screen (and in our mind), thus making them much easier to understand.
• Logic of the database:
  It communicates the logical structure of the database to the users. It's only with ERD software that senior management, board and stockholders will be able to assess the whole business and to plot a viable strategy. Basically, an ERD's function is to bring all of that data stored in our servers to life so we can make sense of it.
• Blueprint:
  An ER Diagram is considered as the blueprint of the database. An ERD tells a story about our entity's current state. It's also an essential part of how we analyze events and plan for the future. So diagramming should not only show what the current state of affairs is, but it should also show the potential ways structures and organizations within an entity can be altered and the potential effects of these changes. For groups that operate with hundreds or thousands of interconnected entities on a multinational scale, without planning, can not make sense.

Q.10: Explain artificial intelligence with one examples.
Ans: Artificial Intelligence (A.I.):

• The term Artificial Intelligence comprises of two words ‘Artificial’ and ‘Intelligence’, where, Artificial means ‘copy of  something natural’ and ‘Intelligence’ means ‘able to think.’ So, Artificial Intelligence can be defined as 'a copy of a human brain with thinking ability.'
• The term A.I. may also be referred to any machine that displays qualities associated with a human brain such as learning, reasoning and problem solving.
• According to John McCarthy, who is known as the father of AI, 
  “AI is the science and engineering of making intelligent machines, especially computer programs.”
• A.I is based on simulating human intelligence in machines that can easily mimic and execute tasks from simple to more complex operations.

Examples:

AI is found everywhere in the modern world. Some example of AI are:

• Electronic Mail:
  Electronic Mail is also called Email. There are lot of services of Emails, such as Gmail, Yahoo Mail, and Live etc. These mails systems have AI, to identify the SPAM emails and messages. The AI system protects your Email from viruses and fraud.
  
  
• Web Browsers: 
  Web browsers mean Google Chrome, Firefox, Opera, and other related programs which provides you safe surfing the Internet. These programs have AI system to protect you from harmful websites and other Internet services.
  
  
• GPS Application:
  GPS (Global Positioning System) applications are useful to find the best route for travelling. GPS applications are also based on AI system to monitor traffic in real time, accidents information, and about busy road.
  
  
• A.I. is also used for Machine Learning. It learns from our daily routines and suggests us different options. Like google maps suggest the best ways for our daily commute.
• A.I. is vastly used in scientific experiment, healthcare and space technologies.

(Notes: Write down only one example as mention is question)

Some most commonly used HTML tags which are used for formatting of the content are:

Headings:

TAG	DESCRIPTION
<h1> - <h6>	It is used to define six levels of HTML headings (h1, h2, h3, h4, h5 and h6) with <h1> being heaviest heading and <h6> being the lightest heading.

Text Formatting:

TAG	DESCRIPTION
<b> , <i> , <u>	These tags are used to bold, italicize and underline text respectively.
<pre>	It is used to define a preformatted text.  The web browser displays such text with spaces and line breaks as defined in HTML codes.
<font>	It is used to define the font, size and color of its text.  This tag can be composed with three attributes: size, color and face.  This tag is supported till version 4.1 of HTML.
<center>	It is used to align its text to the horizontal center of the web page.  This tag is supported till version 4.1 of HTML.
<sub>	It defines subscript text which is under the baseline of other text and has a smaller size. e.g. H2O
<sup>	It defines superscript text which is slightly above the normal line of other text and has a smaller size. e.g. E=mc2

Q.15: Define malware? And describe different types of malware?
Ans: MALWARE:

• The term malware is the contraction of malicious software.
• Malware is a broad term that encompasses computer viruses, worms, spyware, adware and others.
• Malware is a program that is written generally to cause a mess. They can be so dangerous that they can also damage devices.
• However commonly malware encrypt, steal or delete data, hijack core functions of computing and disturb different activities.

Types Of Different Malware:
Types of malware can include computer viruses, worms, adware, and spyware.
(i) Computer Virus:

• A computer virus is a computer program that can spread across computers and networks by making copies of itself, usually without the user's knowledge.
• It can also modify other computer programs, insert its own code and change computer settings.
• Viruses are harmful. They can range from displaying irritating messages to make all the documents inaccessible or even delete them.
• Viruses generally latch on a host file and when they execute they infect other files or programs.
• Examples: Boot Sector, Resident, Macro Viruses and File Infector are some examples of viruses.

(ii) Worm:

• A computer worm spreads copies of itself from computer to computer.
• A worm can replicate itself without any human interaction.
• It does not need to attach itself to a file or program to cause damage.
• It can do several malicious tasks, such as dropping other malware, copying itself onto devices physically attached to the affected system, deleting files, and consuming internal storage and memory resources.

(iii) Adware:

• Adware is advertising-supported software.
• They present endless ads and pop-up windows that could potentially consume memory and processing resources. Adware can also change the different settings of internet browsers like homepage and default search engine.
• Normally, these are not as dangerous as other malware. However, Adware annoys the user and slows down the processing.
• The advertisements produced by adware are sometimes in the form of a pop-up or sometimes in little windows that may not be closed.
• Adware programs include games, desktop toolbars or utilities.
• Commonly, adware is web-based and collects web browser data to target advertisements, especially pop-ups.

(iv) Spyware:

• Spyware is a malware that monitors a device and steals important information about a person or organization without their consent and sends such information to another person or organization.
• Spyware takes control over a mobile phone or computer without the user's knowledge.
• They capture information like web browsing history, e-mail messages, usernames and passwords and online payment information.
• Spyware can come through cookies or even when we install software without reading its terms and conditions.
• Examples: System monitors, cookies trackers, rootkits and key-loggers are few examples of Spyware.
