Computer Essentials – Session 1 – Step-By-Step Guide
Computer Essentials – Session 1 – Step-by-Step Guide Note: Completing the Mouse Tutorial and Mousercise exercise which are available on the Class Resources webpage constitutes the first part of this lesson. ABOUT PROGRAMS AND OPERATING SYSTEMS Any time a task is performed on a computer, it is done through a program. For the user, the program is the application – the tool – for accomplishing a task. For the computer, it is a set of instructions on knowing how to perform this task. Examples of programs include Internet Explorer and Microsoft Word. The most important program overall is the operating system, which manages all of the computer’s resources and decides how to treat input from the user. There are several different operating systems in circulation, such as Mac O/S and Linux. However, far and away, the most commonly-used operating system is Microsoft Windows. (Note that Microsoft is just the name of the company that makes Windows, and that there are several versions of Windows. In 2012 all the computers in the lab were updated to the version of Windows called Windows 7. If you have some experience with the older versions of Windows you will notice that things look a bit different on a computer running Windows 7. THE WINDOWS 7 ENVIRONMENT The Desktop The first thing you see when you log on to the computer is the DESKTOP. The Desktop is the display area you see when Windows opens. The following items are the most common items that can be found on the desktop: Mouse pointer Icons Shortcuts to Storage drives Notification Start Button Taskbar tray Show Desktop/Peek button Andrea Philo September 2012 Page 1 of 13 Montgomery County-Norristown Public Library Computer Essentials – Session 1 – Step-by-Step Guide Parts of the Windows 7 Desktop Icon: A picture representing a program or file or places to store files. -

This Threat Advisory contains behavioral information, characteristics and symptoms that may be used to mitigate or discover this threat, and suggestions for mitigation in addition to the coverage provided by the DATs. To receive a notification when a Threat Advisory is published by McAfee Labs, select to receive “Malware and Threat Reports” at the following URL: https://www.mcafee.com/enterprise/en-us/sns/preferences/sns-form.html Summary Detailed information about the threat, its propagation, characteristics and mitigation are in the following sections: Infection and Propagation Vectors Mitigation Characteristics and Symptoms Restart Mechanism McAfee Foundstone Services The Threat Intelligence Library contains the date that the above signatures were most recently updated. Please review the above mentioned Threat Library for the most up to date coverage information. Infection and Propagation Vectors Adware-SearchSuite is a "potentially unwanted program" (PUP). PUPs are any piece of software that a reasonably security- or privacy-minded computer user may want to be informed of and, in some cases, remove. PUPs are often made by a legitimate corporate entity for some beneficial purpose, but they alter the security state of the computer on which they are installed, or the privacy posture of the user of the system, such that most users will want to be aware of them. Mitigation Mitigating the threat at multiple levels like file, registry and URL could be achieved at various layers of McAfee products. Browse the product guidelines available here (click Knowledge Center, and select Product Documentation from the Support Content list) to mitigate the threats based on the behavior described in the Characteristics and symptoms section. -

Basic Computer Lesson
Table of Contents MICROSOFT WORD 1 ONE LINC What is MSWord? MSWord is a word-processing program that allows users to create, edit, and enhance text in a variety of formats. Word is a powerful word processor with sophisticated editing and formatting as well as graphic- enhancement capabilities. Word is a good program for novice users since it is relatively easy to learn and can be integrated with language learning. Word processing has become popular due to its wide range of personal, business, and other applications. ESL learners, like others, need word processing for job search, employment, and personal purposes. Word-processing skills have become the backbone of computer literacy skills. Features PARTS OF THE SCREEN The Word screen can be overwhelming for novice learners. The numerous bars on the screen such as toolbars, scroll bars, and status bar confuse learners who are using Word for the first time. It is important that learners become familiar with parts of the screen and understand the function of each toolbar but we recommend that the Standard and Formatting toolbars as well as the Status bar be hidden for LINC One level.
