3. Which of the following is unlikely to be a web address?

Explanation

The given answer "hzvw;/lookatmylovelywebsite.www" is unlikely to be a web address because it does not follow the standard format of a web address. Web addresses typically start with "http://" or "https://", followed by a domain name and an extension such as ".com" or ".org". The given answer does not have a valid domain name or extension, and it includes random characters and symbols that are not typically found in web addresses.

4. Which of the following items are NOT 'Computer Hardware'?

Explanation

A toast rack is not considered computer hardware because it is not a component or device that is directly involved in the functioning of a computer system. Computer hardware refers to the physical parts of a computer, such as the printer, monitor, keyboard, and memory stick, that are necessary for processing and storing data. A toast rack, on the other hand, is a kitchen utensil used for holding slices of toast and is not related to computer technology in any way.

Explanation

To maximize your protection against computer viruses, it is important to take multiple measures.

Thirdly, ensuring that your anti-virus software regularly scans your computer allows for the detection and removal of any existing viruses.
