top-5-most-damaging-computer-viruses
Your computer just crashed because of some virus you couldn’t really detect? Or you failed to rectify it at an earlier stage? In most of the cases that’s what the problem turns out to be. Different viruses have different functional programs, and hence it's not easy to identify them, and throw them out of your computer. But there are surely some preventive measures you could take to identify them at an early stage, and get them rectified. Here are some of them –
Programs shut down : Programs dont crash suddenly until and unless the computer is infected with some form if virus or trojan. It links itself to various codes at the same time and thus end up in the computer getting hanged  more than often.
Network traffic : Despite the internet being turned off, if downloads and uploads continue to take place, its a case of viruses either uploading your personal data to some remote computer, or downloads of viruses that end up corrupting your software. To avoid this, keep a strict security over your wireless connections.
Issues with the internet : Slow internet? Or no access to your wireless services? This may be an outcome of some virus in your computer. Or it may also be due to some problem with the service providers.
Pop ups and redirections: Regular pop-ups, or stupid redirections to sites you have no connections to. It may be because if some malware or a virus infection.
Booting not done :  This may be because of corruption due to some malware in the operating system. And re-installation or repairing it all over again would be the only possible solution in such a case.
Slow computer : Viruses are designed for specifically making your pc slow, and maintaining the CPU usage to a constant if 100% at all the times. Keep a check on the task manager for details. If that’s the case, your computer is surely corrupted with a virus.
Weird behaviour : Random emails being sent, associations of one file to other irrelevant ones, automatic opening and closing of window programmes, are a symptom that your computer is infected with viruses. Be aware.
Most viruses and malware can however be avoided by having a strong and powerful antivirus,and following some security measures.

How Technology Is Killing Eye Contact

    Christen had an alarming wake-up call one day about the toll that technology was taking on her life -- and her family. "I realized several years ago that I had stopped looking in my children's eyes," the HopeLab President and CEO said at a Huffington Post panel at Ad Week on Tuesday . "And it was shocking to me." Christen's "a-ha" moment was an alarming one, but it's more common than you might think -- and it points toward a larger, and often undiscussed, byproduct of excessive screen time. The decline of eye contact is well-documented , and as we spend more and more of our time staring at screens, there's less time left over to look into people's eyes -- including the eyes of the people we care about most. Between staring at computers during the work day and regularly gazing down at our phones, Americans spending more time with their eyes glued to their screens than ever before. According to recent estimates ,

Bobbi Kristina died on Sunday age 22 six months after she was found face down and unresponsive in the bath-tub of the Roswell, Georgia, home she shared with then boyfriend, Nick Gordon, 25. Gordon is now a person of interest to investigators attempting to piece together the events that led to Bobbi Kristina’s untimely death. But according to TMZ, he has still written to Bobbi Kristina’s father and Pat Houston begging for permission to attend the funeral service. The email states: ‘I loved Krissi with all my heart and I am destroyed that she is gone and I need to say goodbye. ‘Krissi loved me very much and she would want me there’. The chances of him being accepted by the family are, however, slim to none. The Houston family has slapped him with a $10million lawsuit alleging that he abused her and stole her money while she was in a medically induced coma. While Gordon has been a figure of controversy with Bobby Brown banning him first from his daughter’s hospital bedsi
