ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Source code virus

So, remember how you like to play games on your tablet or computer? Well, when people make those games, they write something called "source code." It's like a secret recipe that tells the computer what to do to make the game work.

But sometimes, bad people create something called a "source code virus." It's like a mean bug that they sneak into the recipe that can hurt your device. Just like how you don't want to eat a sandwich with rotten ingredients, you don't want to use a game or program that has a source code virus because it can make your device sick and not work right.

To protect your device, you should always make sure you download games and programs from a trusted source, like an app store, and keep your device's antivirus software up-to-date. That way, you can enjoy your games without worrying about any bad bugs getting in.
