Part 1.

The five information sheets that are relevant to me an an undergraduate are:

• Computer software G050
• Education institutions G048
• Internet: copyright and downloading G056

Part 2.

Online music and the web mix together to form a free network of music that gives nothing back to the artists we download. The background music on many sites will help the traffic and pull more hits for that site. This music downloading is illegal yet most people that know their computers still seem to download the free music off music applications such as limewire.

Part 3.

My plan to protect myself from attacks on my privacy and security.

1. Avoid downloading programmes that arent trustworthy such as a downloading site that is full of files.
2. Download antivirus software to run daily scans on my computer for threats
3. Keep windows firewall and defender on at all times to enhance the security of the computer
4. Keep the internet security level to high as it will help detect these dodgy sites
5. Do not open suspicous emails
