 Lesson
Install and Uninstall Application
1 Software

Application software (app for short) is a program or group of programs

designed for end-users. Examples of an application include a word processor,
a spreadsheet, an accounting application, a web browser, an email client,
a media player, a file viewer, simulators, a console game, or a photo editor.
The collective noun application software refers to all applications
collectively This contrasts with system software, which is mainly involved
with running the computer.
Applications may be bundled with the computer and its system
software or published separately and may be coded as proprietary, open-
source, or projects. Apps built for mobile platforms are called mobile apps.

What’s In

In the past module you learn about install operating system and drivers for
peripherals/device.

The next lesson will guide you on how to install and uninstall application
software and anti-virus.

 What is It

Installing software on your Windows PC

Your computer allows you to do some really amazing things. Digital photo
editing, sophisticated computer gaming, video streaming—all of these things are
possible because of different types of software. Developers are always creating new
software applications, which allow you to do even more with your computer.

Installing from a CD-ROM

From the mid-1990s through the late 2000s, the most common way to get
new software was to purchase a CD-ROM. You could then insert the disc, and the
computer would walk you through the installation.
Now, almost all software has moved away from this model. Many new
computers no longer include a CD-ROM for this reason. However, if you do need to
install software from a CD-ROM, simply insert the disc into your computer, then
follow the instructions.

Installing software from the Web

Today, the most common way to get new software is to download it from the
Internet. Applications like Microsoft Office and Adobe Photoshop can now be
purchased and downloaded right to your computer. You can also install free
software this way. For example, if you wanted to install the Google Chrome web
browser, you can visit this page and click the Download button.

The installation file will be saved to your computer in .exe format.

Pronounced dot e-x-e, this is the standard extension for installation files on
Windows computers. You can follow the steps below to install an application from
an .exe file.

Locate and download an .exe file.

4
Locate and double-click the .exe file. (It will usually be in your Downloads folder.)

A dialog box will appear. Follow the instructions to install the software.

The software will be installed. You can now open the application from the Start
menu (Windows 7) or the Start Screen (Windows 8).

Tips for finding software

In our experience, the easiest way to find new software is to search the Web.
For example, if you were looking for a way to edit some personal photos on your
computer, you could run a Google search for free photo-editing software. If you're
not exactly sure what kind of software you're looking for, try describing the tasks
you want to complete. For example, if you wanted a way to create to-do lists and
organize your appointments, you might search for something like free calendar
organizer software.

5
The Windows Store

If you're using Windows 8, you can download and install software from
the Windows Store. The Windows Store is meant to simplify the process of locating
and installing software from third-party developers—when you find an app in the
Windows store, you won't have to do any extra work to install it.

Uninstalling software from your Windows PC

If you find that you no longer use an application, you can uninstall the
software to remove it from your computer. This is a good way to clear up space on
your hard drive and keep your computer free of clutter.

1. Open the Control Panel.

6
 2. Select Uninstall a program (in the Programs category).

3. Select the desired application, then click Uninstall.

4. Confirm the uninstallation.

That's it! The program will be removed from your computer

 Lesson Update Software and Antivirus
2 Software

You’re probably no stranger to those little pop-up windows. They tell you
software updates are available for your computer, laptop, tablet, or mobile device.

You might be tempted to click on that “Remind me later” button. Don’t do it.
Or, at least don’t put off updating your software for long. Software updates are
important to your digital safety and cyber security. The sooner you update, the
sooner you’ll feel confident your device is more secure — until the next update
reminder.
Why are software updates so important? There are a lot of reasons. Here are
5 that show why it’s important to update software regularly.

What’s In

In the past lesson you learn about Install application by CD-ROM, Web and
Store. In this lesson you will learn about updating software and importance of
antivirus.

What’s New

 What is It

Importance in Updating Operating Systems

1. Software updates do a lot of things

Software updates offer plenty of benefits. It’s all about revisions. These might
include repairing security holes that have been discovered and fixing or removing
computer bugs. Updates can add new features to your devices and remove
outdated ones.
While you’re at it, it’s a good idea to make sure your operating system is
running the latest version.
2. Updates help patch security flaws
Hackers love security flaws, also known as software vulnerabilities. A
software vulnerability is a security hole or weakness found in a software program
or operating system. Hackers can take advantage of the weakness by writing code
to target the vulnerability. The code is packaged into malware — short for malicious
software.

An exploit sometimes can infect your computer with no action on your part
other than viewing a rogue website, opening a compromised message, or playing
infected media.

What happens next? The malware can steal data saved on your device or
allow the attacker to gain control over your computer and encrypt your files.

Software updates often include software patches. They cover the security holes to
keep hackers out.

3. Software updates help protect your data

You probably keep a lot of documents and personal information on your

devices. Your personally identifiable information — from emails to bank account
information — is valuable to cybercriminals.

They can use it to commit crimes in your name or sell it on the dark web to
enable others to commit crimes. If it’s a ransomware attack, they might encrypt
your data. You might have to pay a ransom for an encryption key to get it back. Or,
worse, you might pay a ransom and not get it back.
Updating your software and operating systems helps keep hackers out.

11
4. Stop spreading to another device

OK, cyber security is mostly about you, but you’ve got other people to think
about, too. If your device gets a virus, you could pass it on to your friends, family,
and business associates. That’s why you want to keep your software and systems
updated.
A trusted security program such as Norton 360TM can help keep your
devices secure. And that can potentially help all those people you interact with
online. But it’s also important to know anti-virus protection isn’t enough to protect
your devices against all cyberthreats

5. Add new features and improve existing ones.

Updates not only patch security holes, they can also add new features and
improve existing ones. You don’t want to fall behind the times, right?

In that way, software updates really are all about you. Your software
program may get a new shot of stability — no more crashing. Or an update might
boost program performance — more speed. You deserve no less.
You could ignore those reminders to update your software, but you might be
missing out on a lot, starting with your cyber security.

To update your Windows 7, 8, 8.1, and 10 Operating System:

1. Open Windows Update by clicking the Start button in the lower-left
corner. In the search box, type Update, and then, in the list of results,
click either Windows Update or Check for updates
2. Click the Check for updates button and then wait while Windows
looks for the latest updates for your computer
3. If you see a message telling you that important updates are available,
or telling you to review important updates, click the message to view
and select the important updates to download or install
4. In the list, click the important updates for more information. Select
the checkboxes for any updates that you want to install, and then
click OK
5. Click Install updates
Note: It is important that you do not shut your computer off or allow it to run out of
battery during the update process. Doing so can cause a corruption of the
operating system, which can often only be fixed by reformatting the computer.

If you are experiencing issues updating your computer, please review

this Windows update troubleshooting guide from Microsoft.

Update site.

What is Antivirus Software?
Antivirus software is a program or set of programs that are designed
to prevent, search for, detect, and remove software viruses, and other
malicious software like worms, trojans, adware, and more.

Why Do I Need Antivirus Software?

These antivirus tools are critical for users to have installed and up-to-
date because a computer without antivirus software protection will be
infected within minutes of connecting to the internet. The bombardment is
constant, which means antivirus companies have to update their detection
tools regularly to deal with the more than 60,000 new pieces of malware
created daily.
Hackers are targeting remote workers. Learn how to stay safe while
out of the office in our Work from Home Playbook.
Today's malware (an umbrella term that encompasses computer
viruses) changes appearance quickly to avoid detection by older, definition-
based antivirus software. Viruses can be programmed to cause damage to
your device, prevent a user from accessing data, or to take control of your
computer.

What Does AntiVirus Software Do?

Several different companies build antivirus software and what each offer
can vary but all perform some essential functions:
• Scan specific files or directories for any malware or known malicious
patterns
• Allow you to schedule scans to automatically run for you
• Allow you to initiate a scan of a particular file or your entire computer,
or of a CD or flash drive at any time.
• Remove any malicious code detected –sometimes you will be notified of
an infection and asked if you want to clean the file, other programs
will automatically do this behind the scenes.
• Show you the ‘health’ of your computer
Always be sure you have the best, up-to-date security software installed to
protect your computers, laptops, tablets, and smartphones.

What Are the Benefits of Antivirus Software?

Antivirus solutions protect more than just laptops, office computers,
smartphones and tablets. They protect precious memories, music and photo

13
libraries, and important documents from destruction by malware. Make sure
your protection is up to the challenge of defending against the latest threats.
Modern antivirus solutions are capable of:
• Detecting, blocking, and removing viruses, malware, and ransomware
• Preventing identity theft and block phishing and fraud
• Warning about dangerous websites and links before you click
• Scanning the Dark Web to find if an email address has been
compromised
• Keeping online accounts protected with secure password encryption
• Providing simple training to teach you and your family how to be even
safer online
• Tuning up your computer to keep it running smoothly, just like new
How Does Antivirus Software Work?
Many antivirus software programs still download malware definitions
straight to your device and scan your files in search of matches. But since,
as we mentioned, most malware regularly morphs in appearance to avoid
detection, Webroot works differently. Instead of storing examples of
recognized malware on your device, it stores malware definitions in
the cloud. This allows us to take up less space, scan faster, and maintain a
more robust threat library.

Free vs Paid Antivirus Software

From banking to baby photos, so much of our business and personal
data live on our devices. If it were stored physically, paying for a security
solution would be a no-brainer. Unfortunately, we often expect our online
data to remain secure without lifting a finger or spending a cent. Companies
claiming to do it for free are partly responsible for the confusion, to be sure.
But consumers should insist on features like identity theft protection,
mobile security, and support options when it comes to their data security,
too—features usually lacking with free solutions.
