Joe Hatch Lecture

Joe Hatch gave a lecture to our computer skills class about protecting your computer. He introduced me to CCleaner, which is a program that deletes cookies and other junk. He also showed us how to defragment our hard drives. I found this very interesting because I had never defragmented my hard drive before. He also lectured on the different ways in which hackers can introduce viruses to your computer. He said that one of the most vulnerable places is Starbucks because they have an open network. If you are IMing, hackers can send links to your computer with viruses attached. This is called phishing.
