viii. Viruses of the computer i. Memory Word: Memory word is defined as the number of bits or byte that is microprocessor can manipulate as a unit. The length of a word varies by computer. It depends upon the data bus capacity of a computer. ii. Memory Address: Memory addresses is the location or address by which the data is located or addressed (accessed). iii. MHz: Mega Hertz (MHZ) is a unit in which clock speed of a computer is measured, which indicates how fast a computer process information, usually 1MHZ = 1 millions cycles per second iv. MIPS: MIPS stands for Million of Instruction Per Second. it is the unit in which the processing speed of a computer is expressed i.e. how many instructions per second a computer can process. v. Memory Access Time: The time a computer processor take to fetch and access the data from a memory. vi. FLOPS: FLOPS stands for Floating Point Operation Per Second. It is used to measure the speed of super computer. vii. Cycle Time: The time which is given by operating system, to perform a different job, is called a Cycle Time. viii. Viruses of The Computer: A computer virus is a program that infect other programs by modifying them. A virus can do anything that other programs do but the difference is that it attaches itself to another program and execute secretly.

It can be removed by anti - virus programs and avoided by handling the disk carefully. The virus during its life time has the following four phases.
A dormant phase
A propagation phase
The Triggering phase
The execution phase
