Is antivirus software necessary on a Mac?
Need it - No ... should one have it - Yes. In the present day and age, some people's only interest in the computer is hacking into your system and making your PC (or MAC or whatever) go bonkers. Having an anti-virus application running in the background constantly helps to prevent the intrustions.
There are many a/v software brands - can't say any one works better than the others, but some will find incompatibility issues with a particular PC and just plain won't work right. If you are using a PC There is a free security system for Windows. If you are using a mac- then you'll probably have to buy a security system if you want a good one.
">Answer 2:
Without an antivirus software your computer is at high risk to be infected during you chat with friends, download files from the Internet, open email attachments, launch various applications and games, visit websites, etc.
Virus infections can cause the system to freeze, applications to close unexpectedly, display unwanted popups, redirect home and search page, block the Internet, delete and modify system and user files and many more unwanted malicious behavior.
Which is better laptop computer or desktop computer?
This section applies to most common RAM machine-based computers.
In most cases, computer instructions are simple: add one number to another, move some data from one location to another, send a message to some external device, etc. These instructions are read from the computer's memory and are generally carried out (executed) in the order they were given. However, there are usually specialized instructions to tell the computer to jump ahead or backwards to some other place in the program and to carry on executing from there. These are called "jump" instructions (or branches). Furthermore, jump instructions may be made to happen conditionally so that different sequences of instructions may be used depending on the result of some previous calculation or some external event. Many computers directly support subroutines by providing a type of jump that "remembers" the location it jumped from and another instruction to return to the instruction following that jump instruction.
Program execution might be likened to reading a book. While a person will normally read each word and line in sequence, they may at times jump back to an earlier place in the text or skip sections that are not of interest. Similarly, a computer may sometimes go back and repeat the instructions in some section of the program over and over again until some internal condition is met. This is called the flow of control within the program and it is what allows the computer to perform tasks repeatedly without human intervention.
Comparatively, a person using a pocket calculator can perform a basic arithmetic operation such as adding two numbers with just a few button presses. But to add together all of the numbers from 1 to 1,000 would take thousands of button presses and a lot of time, with a near certainty of making a mistake. On the other hand, a computer may be programmed to do this with just a few simple instructions. For example:
mov No. 0, sum ; set sum to 0 mov No. 1, num ; set num to 1 loop: add num, sum ; add num to sum add No. 1, num ; add 1 to num cmp num, #1000 ; compare num to 1000 ble loop ; if num <= 1000, go back to 'loop' halt ; end of program. stop running

Instant messaging or IM is a real-time, usually text-based system where messages are sent to other users on the system. This can be one-to-one or one-to-many. One-to-many systems are often called chatrooms. There are several competing, mostly incompatible instant messaging systems out there. These often allow one-to-one text chat but can also allow file transfer such as sending pictures, sounds and other files; voice calls and even video calls in some cases using a mic or webcam. The oldest IM system is IRC or Internet Relay Chat it consists of many networks such as EFNet, IRCNet, Undernet, QuakeNet and is primarily text-based mostly in chatrooms called channels. The same client can connect to any one of these networks, the most common Windows client being mIRC although other clients exist. IRC also allows for direct connections between users for chat and file transfers as well as private and in-channel messaging through the IRC network. Voice and video chat is not supported, although sounds, pictures and videos can be transferred as files through IRC. Other popular IM systems include Windows Live Messenger (more commonly known as MSN Messenger or simply MSN), AOL Instant Messenger (AKA AIM), ICQ, Google Talk, Yahoo Instant Messenger and Skype. Each of these allow mostly for one-to-one chatting between contacts and may also allow for voice and video calling, group chats, games and other features. Each of these systems requires their own messaging client, meaning that if you want to access more than one network then you need to run more than one program. Clients that allow access to more than one of these networks are out there, such as Trillian, Pidgin and Miranda although these networks only allows for basic text chat features and may allow for voice depending on the client. Also, the companies running the networks (AOL, Yahoo etc) have been known to actively block these clients in the past.

A gateway is a node (a router) on a computer network that serves as an access point to another network.
A Default Gateway is the node on the computer network that is chosen when the IP address does not belong to any other entities in the Routing Table. In homes, the gateway is usually the ISP-provided device that connects the user to the internet, such as a DSL or cable modem. In enterprises, however, the gateway is the node that routes the traffic from a workstation to another network segment. The default gateway is commonly used to be the node connecting the internal networks and the outside network (Internet). In such a situation, the gateway node could act as a proxy server and a firewall. The gateway is also associated with both a router, which uses headers and forwarding tables to determine where packets are sent, and a switch, which provides the actual path for the packet in and out of the gateway. In other words, it is an entry point and an exit point in a network.
