Explanation:

• Question 4: Downloading pirated or cracked software often contains malware. Regularly updating antivirus software, using strong passwords, and installing software from trusted websites are good security practices.
• Question 5: Antivirus software is designed to protect your computer from viruses, malware, and other threats. It does not speed up the internet connection, automatically update the web browser, or block ads (though some may have ad - blocking features as an extra, but that's not the main function).
• Question 6: A key difference between a worm and a computer virus is that worms do not need to attach themselves to other files to spread. They can self - replicate and spread independently. Worms can affect various devices (not just mobile), are considered malware, and can cause harm to files (e.g., by consuming resources, corrupting data during replication).
