People can send viruses to other people on computers. This an abuse to others that one is doing. Can be very bad. To prevent this from happening, buy or get some sort of virus protection. Another abuse which I ask you not to do is....... Throw or hit your poor computer. Don't throw it out of a window. :P

Computer abuses include:

  • Creating or sending viruses.
  • Storing or sending child pornography.
  • Hacking into other people's computers.
  • Cracking copyright software.
  • Piracy - using, sharing, or selling content that is not yours.
  • Sending spam.
  • Using computers to stalk or harass others.
  • Using computers to threaten or intimidate others.
  • Fraud, selling things you don't own or don't exist.
  • Phishing - impersonating others for fraudulent reasons or to gain passwords.
  • Recruiting others to commit crimes.
  • Online contraband sales, including illegal drugs and weapons.
  • Spreading hate.
