Multimedia Technology

Multimedia technology allows us to store the data and information for the future reference. A CD-ROM which is light, cheap, durable and portable storage media used to store the data and information in the multimedia technology. Especially, it used to store and distribute the multimedia applications, hence it is also called multimedia CD. We can learn the related subject matter effectively using a multimedia CD in a multimedia computer set as we see the film in the TV. This technology is more effective, attractive and interactive then reading the book. We must go to the collage, school to learn the subject matter through the book; and it takes a long time to learn. The learning through the book cannot be so much clear and effective. But using multimedia in a computer, we can learn the same subject matter more easily in a short time because multimedia technology allows us to manipulate forms, such as text, graphics, and audio, video. So, if we get our subject matter in such different forms, obviously we learn the matter without difficulty in short time and it is not necessary to take help of other people. So, nowadays, multimedia technology is very popular specially to share the idea, views, thoughts of the people in an effective and interactive way.

Multimedia computer system

As our body is formed of different types of organs. Likewise, multimedia is a system, which has the capability to integrate two or more types of media such as text, graphics, animation, audio, video. It also has the capabilities of inputting, digitizing, compressing, decompressing, storing, retrieving the data and information and demonstrating them in an interactive manner. It is not possible to integrate and manipulate such type of media or data and information using single component. So, it needs different types of components to manipulate the data and information related to the multimedia application. Some of the common components are:
1. computer
2. software
3. CD-ROM
4. CD ROM drive
5. sound card
6. microphone
7. head phone
8. digital camera
9. projector

MULTIMEDIA APPLICATION

Introduction
Computers have changed from huge mainframes to small desktop computers as time passed. The first personal computers could not produced sounds. They just displayed the text on the screen. But over’s the years a number of new technologies have emerged which have exerted the power of machines, faster chips, sound cards, bigger monitors and so on. So multimedia technology has emerged gradually.


Multimedia is a new technology. as the name implies multimedia is the integration of multiple forms of media. The word multimedia is made up of two separate words; multi and media, which mean many and materials, through which information may be transmitted. This includes text, graphics, and animation, video, sound and computer programs. These mediums are digitally controlled by computer[s].Multimedia enhance s the information for better communication and understanding Multimedia upgrade kits[MUK] are available in the market for the upgrading of your PC. A MUK consist of the CD-ROM drive, sound card, speaker and microphone etc.

Types of Media

Multimedia is the integration of multiple forms of media the types of media in multimedia include;

Types Description

Symptoms of computer Virus

Viruses are computer programs and they do their activities without the knowledge of the user. This includes deleting files, formatting a user’s hard drive, overwriting the system BLOS and completely disabling the computer systems. Some of the symptoms of viruses are listed below:

1. Programs take a long time to load. Memory-intensive operations take a lot of time to start.
2. Change in dates against the filenames in the directory. When the virus modifies a file the operating system changes the date.
3. The floppy disk or hard disk is suddenly accessed without a logical reason..
4. Increased use of disk space and growth in file size. Computer system does not work according to the instructions.
5. Renaming all the files with different names.
6. Corrupting the system’s data.

Antiviral software

Antiviral software is designed to detect and remove viruses from computer system to ensure a virus-free environment. However, certain types of viruses are difficult to remove and the damaged files are lost forever. Antiviral software may be a memory resident. Whenever the computer system is booted the antiviral program starts. It checks for viruses in all the files of the computer system. If a virus is detected, then the program will try to remove the virus. Some of the popular antiviral software is Norton Antiviral, McAfee, Smart Dog etc.

Safe computing

The spread of computer virus infection can be stopped through the practice of safe computing. Some of the steps recommended by experts to safeguard your PC from viruses are listed below.

1. Write – protect your floppy disk when using them on other computers.
2. Scan the mail or unknown files of internet before opening in your computer.
3. Use a good anti- virus program to scan floppy, CD disks before copying files. Recommended ones are Norton Antivirus and McAfee.
4. Do not install-pirated software, especially computer games.
5. Do not interchange the internal disk among the computers.
6. Do not use the free distributed software.
7. Scan the disks frequently and take out the virus infected programs and files.

Types of computer viruses

There are many kinds of computer viruses. They come in a wide variety. The level of the destructiveness of viruses varies widely. Some viruses display pictures and massages on the screen. Others erase or destroy programs and data. The various types of viruses are:

1. Boot sector Virus
2. Program virus of file virus
3. Multipartite virus
4. Stealth virus
5. Macro virus

1. Boot Sector Virus

Boot sector virus is developed to destroy or infect the boot sector of the disk where, Master Boot Record (MBR) is stored. MBR is a small program, which is responsible for booting the computer system. The boot sector viruses modify MBR that prevents you from being able to boot or ‘start up’ the computer from the system disk. By using the infected disk or CD during the booting, such types of viruses transmit automatically in the computer system. Examples of such viruses are Danish Boot, Devil 941, Disk killer, etc.

2. Program or file virus

A program virus or file virus infects application programs. They may attach themselves to any exec tension. BIN, .COM, EXE, .DRV (driver) and SYS (device drive). These viruses take control after the initial use of the infected program. Once the infected program is executed, it remains present in the main memory (RAM) even if the closed. When you execute another new file the virus attaches itself from the main memory in the new file. In this way all file or they may also overwrite, so it disturbs the file from executing. Examples of such viruses are Acid Rain, Alien.298 and crazy. A.


3. Multipartite Virus
Multipartite Virus have combination features of boot sector viruses and program viruses; they can infect both the application programs and the boot sector of a disk. They infect program files, and when the infected program is executed, these viruses also infect the boot record. When you boot the computer next time, the viruses load in memory from boot record and then start infecting other program files on the disk. Examples of such viruses are invader, Flip, Tequila, etc.

4. Stealth virus

Stealth virus is one of the most dangerous types of viruses which rarely gives information about the presence of it in your computer system. Generally, it infects program file and boot records. It is really difficult to detect this virus because it attempts to hide from the operating system and antivirus software of the computer and it uses a unique technique to ignore the detection. Examples of such viruses are Frodo, Joshi, Whale, etc.

5. Macro Virus


A Macro Virus is a new type of computer virus that infects the software document or template created using word processing or spread sheet software. When you open a word processing or spreadsheet document, the macro virus is activated and it infects the normal template or a documents. Since this virus attaches itself to documents, the infection can spread if such documents are opened on other computers. Examples of such viruses are DMV, Nuclear and word concept.





Computer virus

Introduction
Computer virus is not living organism. It is a type of computer program which is written by the programmer with the intent of destroying or damaging the data and programs residing in the computer system. It interferes in the normal functioning of the computer. It replicates itself by making copies of itself without the user’s knowledge or consent. The tasks of computer virus are often destructive. It deletes the important information, crashes the hard drive and also disturbs to execute programs. Each virus contains instructions to initiate a unique and problematic event on an infected computer. The effects of these events can range from general annoying to the great destruction.

How does a computer virus infect your computer?

A virus is usually passed through infected files of a disk and the internet. Some viruses only transfer if you boot your computer with an infected disk. Others can infect your system when you copy a file from an infected disk or even when you attempt to eras an infected disk. Viruses can be passed when you download a file from the internet or access data or programs on a network. If you install genuine software and rarely exchange disks with anyone else, it may reduce the risk of virus infection in the computer system. It makes higher risk of virus infection in the computer system, if your computer system. It makes higher risk of virus infection in the computer system, if your computer system comes more in contact with the internet or with the infected disks.

The main purpose of the virus is to infect as many programs as possible. Once the virus infects your computer system, it does various operations such as displaying pictures or massages on the screen periodically, erasing or destroying programs and data, infecting the application software like word processor, database and spreadsheet and causing some sort of malfunctioning of the computer system. It tries to remain hiding to support its activity, and it tries to infect as many systems as possible. They infect the system by attaching themselves to the files and programs.

It requires some additional software such as Cool talk, Net meeting and hardware such as headphone, microphone, etc.




Services of the Internet

The internet is a network of networks, which has grown from a small project to the huge network of today. It has become a huge source of information, entertainment, business, news and education. Some important services of the internet are discussed below:
World wide web
The world wide web (www) is the most important service available on the internet. It was created in 1990 European particle Physics Laboratory in Geneva, Switzerland to exchange and share data through the internet using a protocol known as a hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP). A hypertext document is a specially encoded file that use hypertext links or hyperlinks in the document. HTTP and hypertext links are the foundation of the world wide web. www presents text, image, animation, video, sound and other media through a single interface. The www is often referred to as the internet. Actually, they are two different concepts: internet is the network of networks or a global network whereas the web is a collection of documents or web sites, which are shared by different users using the internet.

Electronic mail (E-mail)
Electronic mail or e-mail is one of the most popular services provided by the internet. It is now the world’s largest electronic mail system. More then 25 million people are directly connected to the internet and can send and receive electronic mail. The main advantage of e-mail is it is faster and cheaper then traditional mailing system. It has some disadvantages: minor mistakes in e-mail address may deliver the mail to a wrong address. Since, it passes through a vast electronic network, it may be seized in between. The popular e-mail programs include Eudora, Microsoft outlook and Netscape Messenger.

If you have an account with an ISP or if you are a member of the domain, then you can create an e-mail address. This unique address enables other to send a massage to you and enables you to send a massage to other users. An internet electronic mail address has two parts: the user name and the domain name. the user name identifies the person who receives the mail; the domain name identifies the computer system on which the user has an account. These parts are separated by @sign. An example of an e-mail address is: sanjay@wlink.com.np

Integrated services Digital Network (ISDN)

An ISDN is a high speed digital communication network evolving from existing telephone line, which is called dial-up networking. Beside this connections such as ISTN (Integrated services Digital Network (IDN), which provides end- to – end digital connectivity to support a wide rang of services, including voice and non voice services. The services provided by ISDN are:

1. integrated services
2. Satellite Connection
3. Cable Connection
4. Dial up connection

Integrated Services

Digital Network is a digital circuit switching technology that carries voice, graphics and data through telephone lines. It is suitable for business and commercial use. It is at least four times faster then a dial-up line.

Satellite connection

Satellite connection can be used to connect a computer or a computer network to the internet. This is good for remote location, where ISDN and other cable connection are not available. It provides connection through satellite to the user’s disk antenna. Satellite connection is expensive but provides faster and more qualitative services then other connection.

Cable Connection

A computer connected to the internet through a cable television line is a popular connection, which provides fast and reliable services to the user. A cable modem is used to connect the computer and the cable television line. It may have two connections, one to the television and other to the computer system. Nowadays, many cable television providers offer internet connection along with television services.

Dial-up connection

Dial- up connection is the chenpast and the easiest way to connect a computer to the internet. It requires a normal telephone line and an internal or external MODEM. The performance of the dile-up connection is very low in comparison with the other connections discussed above. The above figure shows the connection of a computer to the internet using an external MODEM:

Components Required for Internet Connection

The internet is the world largest computer network, which connects a large number of computers. Basic requirements to connect a computer to the internet are:
1. computer system
2. Software
3. MODEM
4. connection
Computer system
The internet can be connected with the computer having at least 486 processor. The computer must have a hard disk with at 200 MB free space to store temporary files of the Internet. Computer system having multimedia technology is preferable to get better performance.
Software
Hardware along cannot be used to connect a computer to the internet. Software plays a vital role for this purpose. The computer connected to the internet should have TCL/IP or Transmission control protocol or internet protocol, which is used to make communication between the user’s computer and other computers in the internet. Another important software is dialer software that deals the user’s computer to the server and establishes a connection between the user’s computer and the internet. Besides these, web browser is the essential software that is installed in user’s computer to search the information through the internet. Searching information from the internet is called browsing or surfing. Common browsers used for the internet are internet explorer and Netscape navigator.

MODEM
MODUM is another essential device to access the internet in your computer. It is a device that converts the digital signals of your computer to the analog signals and passes through the telephone line and again converts the analog signals of the telephone line to the digital signals and passes to the computer. The performance of the internet depends upon the computer. The performance of the internet depends upon the speed of the MODEM. The speed of the MODEM is measured in kilobits per second (kbps). Most common MODEM available in the market is with the speed of 56K. there are two types of MODEM Internal and External. The internal MODEM is a card, which is installed on the slot of the motherboard whereas the external modem is a box like device used to connect the computer system and the telephone line or other lines for its operation.

Connection

Most common connection between a computer and the internet is done using normal telephone line, which is called dile-up networking. Beside this, other connections such as ISDN (integrated services Digital Network), cable line, leased line and satellite connection, can be used to connect a computer to the internet. Some the popular internet connections are explained below:
