    22 Conclusion
    I hope that my presentation will be helpful for my
    audience to improve their knowledge about cyber
    security and to overcome several security loopholes on
    their computer operation. Also it helps to spread
    awareness among normal people about emerging security
    threats. Simple and practical prevention methods are
    explained in the Seminar to prevent PCs from infection.
