By depicting a person using a laptop while wearing a face mask, this meme demonstrates a misunderstanding about computer viruses by suggesting that the “virus” infecting the machine is contagious, similar to a human virus. This emphasizes the negative effects of inadequate virus protection training from the standpoint of human-centered cybersecurity. Lack of cybersecurity awareness can cause consumers to misunderstand how online dangers operate, which can result in ineffective protection practices like ignoring antivirus software or failing to spot phishing efforts. Inappropriate actions by users, such as physically isolating a computer rather than performing security checks or updating software, can also be the result of misdirected security efforts. This highlights the importance of clear communication in cybersecurity training, making sure that comparisons between biological and digital viruses are appropriately phrased to avoid misunderstandings.
