ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

CIH (computer virus)

Okay kiddo, have you ever heard of a computer virus? No? Well, just like we can get sick from germs, computers can get sick too. A cih virus is one kind of computer virus.

So, you know how we have different types of toys we play with, just like computers have different kinds of software that do different things? Well, a virus is like a bad toy that sneaks into your computer and tries to mess with the other toys so they don't work properly.

The cih virus is a really tricky one because it can hide itself really well so you might not even know it's there. It can also spread really easily and quickly to other computers, just like a cold can spread from one kid to another in a classroom.

What does the cih virus do? Well, it can make your computer act really weird- it might freeze up, shut down or even delete some of your important files. Kind of like when you eat something bad and your tummy hurts, your computer will start to hurt too.

So, how do we stop the cih virus? Well, just like we wash our hands to keep germs away, we need to make sure our computers have protection too. We can use special software called anti-virus to help find and get rid of the virus before it does much damage.

It's important to be careful when we download things from the internet or click on links from unknown sources. Just like we don't eat candy from strangers, we don't click on things we don't trust on our computers either.

So, that's the cih virus explained like you're five. Just remember- wash your hands and protect your computer!
