Computers use bits to represent data. A bit, or binary digit, has a value of zero or one. These bits are used to represent both computer instructions and also data and are processed in the CPU. They are loaded from the magnetic disk into main memory and then into the memory registers of the CPU where the instructions are fetched, decoded, and then executed. The results are stored in more registers and then moved back to main memory via the data bus.

Describe three different viruses and how they work.

A Trojan horse virus masquerades as a game, music file, or a useful program that users want to download and then delivers a malicious payload. A macro virus attaches to a Word, Excel, or other type of document file. Then when the file is opened, it places itself in the startup file of that particular application and then infects every file the application processes after that. Worm viruses use the Internet or other computer network to spread and propagate. They can choke networks with a high volume of traffic to make the network unusable.

Review Test Submission: Chapter 4: Practice Quiz

Question 1

Needs Grading

What is the difference between off-the-shelf and custom software? What are the advantages and disadvantages of custom software? Selected Answer: Correct Answer: Off-the-shelf software is purchased and then modified to fit the particular need. Custom software is programmed from scratch to meet the needs of the company. Custom software development can be difficult and risky. They are hard to manage and are often 200 to 300 percent over budget and late. It may be that the needs of the organization are so unique that no packaged system comes close and so because the potential gain in competitive advantage may be great, it may be enough to justify the risk. It is also risky because many other existing applications may have to be modified in order to be integrated with the custom application. If the original developers of the system leave the organization, there must be good documentation of the custom system in order for other people to properly maintain it.
