7.SlowComputer
7.电脑运行缓慢
Wheneveracomputerbecomesslow, virusesarealmostalwaysblamed. ThereareasmallnumberofvirusesthathogRAMinthebackground, butitwillbecomeobviousveryquickly. Thetruthisthatcomputersslowdownovertimefornumerousreasons, andmostofthetime, itdoesn'thaveanythingtodowithviruses.
无论何时，只要电脑运行开始变慢，病毒总是第一个躺枪。有少数病毒隐藏在后台内存中，但它会很快会被发现。事实是，电脑不断运行缓慢是有很多原因，大多数与病毒没有关系。
Oneproblemmaybethat, likeanything, computersgetold. Yourcomputermayhavebeenreallynicewhenyoufirstboughtit, buttheconstantdemandsplacedonthesystemmakeithardertokeepgoing. Also, thelongeryouownacomputer, themoreprogramsyouarelikelytohavedownloaded, whichexhaustsyourRAM. Computersmayalsoslowdownwhentheirharddrivesstarttofail, andnotmuchshortofreplacingitisgoingtofixthat. Sometimes, InternetconnectionsslowdownduetooutdatedbrowsersorFlashprogramming.
电脑像所有东西一样会出现一个问题，变旧。电脑在刚买时很好使用，但是对系统不断破坏使电脑变得难以使用。同样，电脑使用越长，程序下载越多，从而消耗内存。当硬盘驱动开始衰退，电脑就会变慢，少有可能通过替换修复它。有时，网络连接变慢是因为浏览器和Flash编程过时。
Soifyourcomputerisstartingtogetslower, don'tjumptothevirusscanner. Checkthehealthofyourhardware, stopunnecessaryprogramsrunninginthebackground, andmakesureallofyoursoftwareisuptodate. Ifallofthatisokay, theproblemmaybeavirus, butthere'sstillagoodchancethatit'ssomethingelse.
所以，如果你的电脑开始运行缓慢，不要扫毒。检查硬件的健康状况，停止后台不必要的程序运行，确保所有软件已更新。如果一切都没问题，问题就可能是病毒，但仍有可能是别的原因。
6.SmartphoneViruses
6.智能手机病毒
Manypeopledon'treallythinkoftheirsmartphonesastinycomputers, butthat'sessentiallywhattheyare. Unfortunately, maliciouspeoplearenowtargetingsmartphonesthewaytheytargetcomputers.
许多人不认为他们的智能手机是台小型电脑，但是它们本身就是。所以有人用攻击电脑的方式恶意攻击智能手机。
In 2011, onevirusfounditswayinthroughathird-partyapplicationtosendmessagesfromtheuser'sphone, whichcosttheusermoneybutmadethecreatorofthevirusquiteaprofit. Emboldenedbysuccesseslikethese, viruseshavebeguninundatingthesmartphoneworld.
2011年，一款病毒通过第三方应用程序用用户手机发短信，让用户产生费用从而获利。有了这样的成功例子，病毒开始充斥了智能的世界。

这些病毒通常从应用市场下载潜入智能手机。谷歌应用商店是一个开放的应用市场，任何人都能出售应用程序，从很多方面来说是好的，但是也说明谷歌商店中的第三方应用程序没有经过审查。人们会觉得从可信来源中得到了什么，然而不知不觉中对恶意软件暴露了自身信息。

所以，最好的办法是不要从未信任的资源上下载应用，并检查应用程序需要的权限。如果权限看似很奇怪，不要同意它们的权限。
5.LaptopFires
5.笔记本着火

很多人认为，电脑不能运作太长时间或者将电脑放在地毯，被子和易燃的物品上，以免发生火灾。事实表明，这类事情从未发生过。只有很少情况下笔记本会因为线路故障发生火灾。
Morerecentlaptopsevenincludebetterventilationandfail-safesdesignedtokeepthemachinefromoverheatinginanycapacity. Ifyourmachineisoverheatingconstantly, it'sprobablyasignthatsomethingiswrongwiththehardware, youareexceedingitsnormalcapabilities, orit'sareallybaddesign.
现今的笔记本都备有良好的风扇装置和自动防故障装置，让电脑在任何情况下都不会过热。如果电脑持续过热，说明电脑硬件可能出现了问题，使用超过了正常能力范围或电脑本身设计有问题。
Thereisamuchmorerealdangerwithlaptops, andthatislaptopburn. Manypeoplesitwiththeirlaptopsdirectlyontheirlaps, andcontrarytothenameofthemachine, thisisaterribleidea. Hotlaptopshavecausedseriousburnsthroughclothingwithinjustafewdaysofmoderateusage. Ifyoumustusealaptoponyourlap, removeitifitstartstofeelhotandfindanothersurfacetoputiton.
笔记本更为危险的问题是笔记本过热导致烧伤。很多人将笔记本直接放在大腿上或坐在电脑背面，这是一个可怕的现象。发热的电脑在几天的使用过程中会通过衣服造成严重的烧伤。如果你一定要在大腿上使用电脑，当电脑开始发热时将它移开放到其他地方。
4.Bottlenecking
4.瓶颈效应
Manypeopleareundertheimpressionthatiftheircomputerstartstofail, theycanjustreplacewhateverpartisdying. However, technologicaladvancesmovequickly, makingupgradingmuchmoredifficultduetocompatibilityproblems.
在很多人的印象中，如果电脑出现故障就要更换出问题的部分。然而，技术的飞快进步，由于兼容性的问题让升级变得更加困难。
Forexample, someonemightfindthattheirprocessorisfailing, butnoonemakesprocessorsanymorethatworkwiththatparticularmotherboard, sonowtheyneedtoreplacethat, too. Oncethey'vereplacedthemotherboard, someoftheolderpartswon'tworkwiththenewboard, andnowtheymightaswellbuildanewsystem. Thisisknownas "bottlenecking."
比如，有人发现处理器出现了问题，但是其他处理器不能适应主板，所以主板也需要更换。一旦更换了主板，其他旧的部分也不能适应新主板，最后要更换新系统。这就是"瓶颈现象"。
Evenifyoudon'thaveanycompatibilityissueswhenyouupgrade, yoursystemwilleventuallybottleneck. Toacertainextent, yourcomputerisonlyasgoodasitsweakestcomponent. Forexample, ifyoudecidethatyouneedtoupgradeyourvideocard, butyourprocessoristooweak, it'snotgoingtomakeanoticeabledifference.
当电脑升级时，尽管没有遇到兼容性问题，你的系统也将出现障碍。从某种程度上说，电脑的好坏取决于电脑最低端的部分。比如，如果你决定要升级视频卡，但是处理器太低端，就不会出现明显的变化。
