How Viruses are spread on our computer

Today I am back with my new topic which is based on How Viruses are spread on our computer Let's start !! A program that has the capability to infect other program and make copies of itself and spread into other programs is called Virus. A Virus can be identified if our system:    Takes a long time to load applications.     Has an inability to boot.     Shows unpredictable program behavior.     Has strange graphics appearing on the screen. The types of viruses are:   File Virus, which infects and replicates when it gets attached to MS-DOS program files with EXE or COM extensions. Boot Sector virus infects the boot sector of the floppy disk or hard disk.   Macro Viruses insert unwanted words or phrases in MS Word or Excel. How Viruses are spread?

Google Measures App, Exclusive To Tango, Now Available For ARCore Devices.

Today I am back with my new topic which is based on Google Measures App.  Let's Start! About Tango  Tango (formerly named Project Tango, while in testing) was an Augmented Reality Computing Platform, developed and authored by Advanced Technology And Project (ATAP), a Skunkworks division of Google. It uses computer vision to enable mobile devices, such as smartphone and Tablet, to detect their position relative to the world around them without using GPS or other external signals. This allows application developers to create user experiences that include Indoor Navigation, 3D, Mapping, Physical space measurements, environmental recognition, augmented reality, and windows into a virtual world.  The first product to emerge from ATAP, Tango was developed by a team led by computer scientist Johnny Lee, a core contributor to Microsoft Kinect. In an interview in June 2015, Lee said, "We're developing Hardware and Software technologies to help everything and e...
