Introductionm97e295067a5ace9e_1528450127855_0Introduction

Never has the mankind been able to use such large resources so freely.

The teacher initiates a short discussion about downloading datadatadata from the Internet.

What data can be downloaded from the Internet?

Where can their reliable sourcesreliable sourcesreliable sources be found the easiest?

How to download files from the Internet not violating the copyrightcopyrightcopyright?

Procedurem97e295067a5ace9e_1528446435040_0Procedure

DownloadingdownloadingDownloading is the process of receiving datadatadata from a remote system, such as a server, a web server, an FTP server as well as peer‑to‑peer (P2P) and peer‑to‑mail (P2M) networks.

Downloading transfers entire files for local storage and later use.

The files downloaded from the Internet the most frequently

Task 1

Specify web pages that enable downloading the types of files listed above. Identify if their content is free or paid.

One of the two most frequent causes of computer virus infection is downloading or installing the downloaded files on the computer. Even if you thoroughly examine what you download and from which web sites, other computer users may not do that. Children and users with no basic computer knowledge are usually the least alert. You can come across infected data when you search for a solution to a problem, gather information, but also quite accidently, when you download interesting data found on the Internet. Malicious software is most often hidden in programmes which are advertised as free (free download, free software). Never download such a software. If a computer programme is really free, you will surely find it on its provider’s web pages or on a trusted portal offering files. Messages informing about the need to install the latest updates of software and or about a new dangerous computer virus (false alerts) often encourage the user to open an infected file.m97e295067a5ace9e_1527752263647_0One of the two most frequent causes of computer virus infection is downloading or installing the downloaded files on the computer.

Take extra caution when you download files:

- an up‑to‑date antivirus softwareantivirus softwareantivirus software should be installed on your computer,
- the operating system and software on your computer should be updated,
- download only the datadatadata you need,
- download applications and device drivers from official downloadingdownloadingdownloading channels, i.e. from software providers’ web sites,
- avoid searching for files using search engines,
- decide if the web site you want to download data from is reliable.

The excellent source of computer programmes are the online shops of software providers, which also offer free software.

Task 2

What are the names of online shops that offer software for Windows (Microsoft), Mac OS (Apple) and Android (Google)?

Check the following features to assess the reliability of a web site:

- the web site offers an encrypted connectionencrypted connectionencrypted connection and has a certificate,
- professional layout and correct spelling,
- the lack of redirection to other web sites,
- the small number of advertisements,
- the lack of unreasonable and unauthorised discounts.

Your computer should be well protected by installing an effective antivirus software. It will not ensure 100% security, however it will increase it. Try to be reasonable in every situation and download or install only reliable data from trusted web sites. Under no circumstances shall you download suspicious files from the Internet. Be particularly careful when you use peer‑to‑peer file sharing.m97e295067a5ace9e_1527752256679_0Your computer should be well protected by installing an effective antivirus software.
