How Virus Protection Could Have Saved The Day?

Here’s a Virus protection scenario. A student spends all night typing, thinking and researching for a project at school. The deadline is near and the project means all her life. Without the project submitted on time means she fails in class. That would mean disaster and wasted money, time and energy. The night before the submission of class projects, the student is done; she saved her file in her computer then happily went to bed. In the morning, she’s ready to print her document and in a blink of an eye the file was gone! She checked all the files and everything was gone. All her files were corrupted by a virus.

She went to her teacher and begged and cried a river of tears. Who would believe she was truly done with her project? It is not an acceptable excuse to say the file was destroyed with a virus. How can she remake a project in two or three hours with a job supposedly done in two or three months’ time? Well, the student fails of course. She could have easily passed only if she was smarter enough that she installed a virus protection program in her computer.
