5.A short summary of how this topic connects/relates to you or your life
Viruses connect to my life because all the time I download music and open links i get in my e-mail that they send me. Now I know I have to be more careful when using my computer because even if I know the person that sent me the e-mail, she/he might have gotten the virus too! I have to always make sure the files that I am opening are safe.

6.Questions you still have (at least 1)
I still don't understand what happens inside the computer! The language the wbsites use is very complicated
