Computers range in size and shape from super computers that take up the size of the room capable of trillions of calculations per second to laptop computers. Super computers are usually used to predict weather patterns in different locations of the world. These weather patterns can lead to the development of dangerous weather conditions, like hurricanes, tornadoes, or floods. Mainframes are next in line. They are often located in a centralized location. Usually a company's headquarters. Mainframes allow people from different locations in the country or across the world to access their information. Desktop and laptop computers are the most common. The smallest computer is probably your smart phone. Today's cellphones are powerful, in terms of processing power than the space craft that landed man on the moon.

Some of the best ways to prevent viruses and hackers is to install an antivirus program that proactively scans for viruses and detects them. One way to prevent your computer from being hacked is to install a firewall on your computer.
