A “Win/DH is a malicious software that once it is executed has the capability of replicating itself and infect other files and programs”( Win/DH). They “can steal hard disk space and memory that slows down or completely halts your PC, corrupt or delete data, erase your hard drive, steal personal information, hijack your screen and spam your contacts to spread itself to other users” (Win/DH). To avoid the possibility of one, you should be careful of e-mail attachments especially if they are from an outside source, as well as download links on websites. Having a virus removing application such as AVG is essential to being able to remove these viruses before they spread. AVG is capable of detecting this virus while surfing the web and...

...Lab 1 – Introduction to Science Exercise 1: The Scientific Method Dissolved oxygen is oxygen that is trapped in a fluid, such as water. Since many living organisms require oxygen to survive, it is a necessary component of water systems such as streams, lakes, and rivers in order to support aquatic life. The dissolved oxygen is measured in units of parts per million (ppm). Examine the data in Table 4 showing the amount of dissolved oxygen present and the number of fish observed in the body of water the sample was taken from and then answer the questions below. QUESTIONS 1. Make an observation – Based on the data in Table 4, describe the relationship between dissolved oxygen content and fish populations in the body of water. Discuss the pattern observed in the data set. Answer = as the Dissolved Oxygen goes up the greater the survival rate is for the fishes. The pattern for the Dissolved Oxygen goes up by two’s and the number of fish has a unique pattern when matched with the dissolved oxygen. Pattern (2, 4 ppm)…..the fishes decrease by one. (6, 8 ppm)……the fishes increase by 4 (10, 12 ppm)…the fishes increase by 3 (14, 16 ppm)….the fishes decreases by 4 18 ppm…..the fishes decreases by 5 2. Do background research – Utilizing at least one scholarly source, describe how variations in dissolved oxygen content in a body of water can affect fish populations. Answer = According to research the dissolved...

These standards exist so that all equipment would match up and networks could be simplified. Exercise 4.1.3 Shielded copper cable is currently best known for POE equipment. Security systems, Microphones, and other high end audio cables would be my best examples for a clear visual. This super expensive cabling is used for these types of applications because the shielding help to prevent the Electro Magnetic Interference to be more specific on a security system this shielding and braiding eliminates the false alarms that would occur if not for the shielding.

For Clarkdale; the Core i3 500 series, the Core i5 600 series, the Pentium G6000 series and the Celeron G1000 series. The H55 chipset should be used with a 1st generation Intel® Core™ processor like the Intel Core i5-660. This chipset/boards were looked at as general/media purpose boards for every day use. At-a-glance Gigabyte has nailed it with the fab, affordable, full-featured H55M UD2H motherboard. It ticks all our boxes. It may be a compact MicroATX motherboard, for example, but it still packs a pair of 16-lane PCI Express graphics ports. Thanks to the H55 chipset, it's also about as flexible as it gets for an Intel compatible motherboard. Drop in any LGA1156 CPU and you can be sure you're getting the most out of it. That includes Intel's new Clarkdale Core i3 and Core i5 'fusion' chips. You know, the little dual-core blighters with on-package graphics. Gigabyte has gone one better than most H55 boards by providing not just HDMI, DVI and VGA video connectivity, but also a DisplayPort socket. You could argue, of course, that Clarkdale's graphics are so ghastly that any video-out functionality is moot. But being able to boot your PC without the graphics card installed is a handy debugging tool. Likewise, support for Intel's integrated...

...1. The five steps to a hacking attack is reconnaissance, scanning, gaining access, maintaining access and covering tracks. 2. During the reconnaissance step Zenmap GUI performs the task of fingerprinting and port scanning. It sends commands to the platform-specific nmap executable and pipes the output back. The process monitors and captures network traffic. The traffic is analyzed to determine which operating system is used. 3. Zenmap GUI is used during the scanning process. 4. Vulnerabilities and exploits are identified in the enumeration step of the hacking process. 5. The software vulnerability that was found was ms-08-067 and this vulnerability makes the remote host vulnerable to a buffer overrun in the Server service that may allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code on the remote host with the System privileges 6. The tools used to exploit the identified know software vulnerabilities on the targeted Windows XP professional workstation were the Microsoft Server Service Relative Path Stack Corruption and Metasploit. 7.

...Review 4.1 It allows the ability to wire the cables however you would like without having to create a crossover. so that the cabling can have a strong signal. If you put it at the end it will have send a weaker signal than by putting it a little closer, inevitably giving you less packet and data loss. It cuts down the bandwidth and speed of the connections the more you add. Review 4.2 the bend radius is the amount a fiber optic cable that can be bent without worry of breakage. The current recommendation is to have the bend radius no smaller than 20 times the cable diameter. Some cables will have a fiberglass rod for stability, a larger jacket around each cable, Kevlar is sometimes used, and tight buffer coating. Review 4.3 Legacy equipment such as current home scenarios require UTP. But if you are going far distances than fiber is most definantly the way to go. I would have the audio/video put onto one wireless ap and then a second for the remaining computers in the office. If it is a small business I would have 2 wireless AP setup at either end of the building as well. Review 4.4 the divide and conquer has you test each layer of the osi model and then decide where the trouble is coming from and than work up/down from there.

In order to properly perform an assessment of the LBJ Company, there first had to be some set of standards or regulations that outline the internal controls and proper procedures for companies and businesses to adhere to for financial reporting. As it turns out internal control is a key component of Foreign Corrupt Practices Act(FCPA) of 1977 and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act(SOX) of 2002 which required companies to follow this set of internal controls. This list of internal controls is as follows: 1). Conduct its business in an orderly and efficient manner, 2). Safeguard its assets and resources, 3). Deter and defect errors, theft, and fraud, 4).
