Q: If you have serious symptoms and need to see a doctor, they’ll start by performing a physical exam. Let them know how and when you got cut, when your symptoms appeared or started worsening, and any antibiotics or other medications you’ve recently taken. This information will help your doctor determine the best course of treatment. Your doctor will most likely take a sample of any pus or discharge, cut a small tissue sample, or wipe the infected cut with a swab. They’ll then have the sample tested for specific germs. The results will let them know whether you need antibiotics and, if necessary, which type to prescribe. If you have an abscess, they’ll likely drain it and take a culture of the pus it contains. If your doctor prescribes antibiotics, take your medication according to their instructions. Don’t stop taking it even if your cut heals.  If you stop taking an antibiotic prematurely, the infection might come back and get worse. Your doctor might also recommend taking an over-the-counter drug for pain or fever, such as Tylenol or ibuprofen. In rare cases, a skin infection can lead to sepsis or other life-threatening conditions. If necessary, your doctor will have you admitted to a hospital for specialist care, which might include intravenous (IV) medications or surgery to remove infected tissue.
A: Tell your doctor where you got the cut when they examine you. Get a skin culture. Take antibiotics and other medications as directed. Discuss hospitalization for severe infections.

Article: Stalkers often feel as though they are in a relationship with their victims, and any contact the victims make with them is perceived as validation of their “relationship,” which is nonexistent.  If you are being stalked, do not call, write to, or speak to your stalker in person if you can avoid it at all. Sometimes stalking victims yell at or talk to their stalkers, but even overt rudeness can be misconstrued by stalkers (who are frequently mentally disturbed) as communication of affection or interest. If you are being stalked online, do not respond in any way to any messages, regardless of how angry you become. Just print them for evidence and leave the computer. If a stalker does not have personal information about you such as your phone number, home address, or email address, do not let them find it.  Do not give your home phone number aloud to anyone in public places. If you find that you must provide a phone number, try using a work phone instead, or writing the number down then shredding it. Avoid putting your home address in writing. In cases of extreme stalking, you may want to get a PO Box for your mailing address so that it's less likely that you will need to provide anyone with your home address. Do not share your home address or place of work online or on social media. This may give an online stalker the opportunity to find you in person. In cases of repeated stalking or stalkers with a history of violence, you may be able to get an order of protection which legally requires the stalker to stay away from you. Be aware, however, that this could potentially anger the stalker and push him to violence. In very extreme cases of potentially violent stalking, you may decide to move to a new place. If you do so, you may want to consult an organization such as a battered women's shelter for tips about how to make yourself truly disappear.  Do not have your mail forwarded directly to your new home. Be careful when registering to vote in a new place. You can request anonymous registration. If you purchase property, your name may be on the public record as the land's owner.  Sometimes these records are tied to searchable databases, so you may want to rent to remain more anonymous.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Avoid contact with your stalker. Avoid unintentional signs or messages. Hide your personal information. Get a protective order. Move to an undisclosed location.

Q: . Since viruses can quickly render a computer inoperable, backing up your computer's files to an external hard drive is recommended. Viruses are designed to spread, and it is irresponsible to test viruses on a computer that is not isolated from the internet at large. Ensure that your test environment is contained so that the viruses you are testing cannot spread to computers that you don't want infected.  You'll also want to make sure that your computer doesn't have any sensitive information (e.g., credit card numbers, social security identification, payment records, etc.) on it just in case your virus is able to copy the contents of your hard drive. Make sure that the computer or computers you are testing on are not connected to the Internet when you open an infected file. For greater security, test viruses using a virtual machine on a physical computer that is not connected to the internet. Infecting your own computer can jeopardize your data and personal information, and if your computer is connected to the internet or other computers on a network, you run the risk of infecting others.  Intentionally infecting someone's computer with a virus is illegal in most countries. If you are trying to test your antivirus software, it is strongly recommended that you use the test file in the previous method. Most routers contain hardware firewalls that can help protect your computer. For maximum vulnerability, you should connect your modem directly to your computer via an Ethernet cable, which will bypass the router's security. . The Firewall service acts as a built-in threat deterrent, so disabling it will allow unauthorized programs to access your computer. In some cases, disabling your computer's Firewall will also allow unauthorized users to gain access to your network. Most antivirus programs do an admirable job of catching the majority of viruses, so you'll want to disable or remove your antivirus software completely before trying to infect the computer. There are a variety of communities online dedicated to testing internet security, and you may be able to find links to known viruses in the community discussions. One of the most popular internet security (NetSec) communities is the NetSec subreddit. You can find a variety of discussions and links to sites containing specific viruses. One of the most popular ways for viruses to be spread is through pirated media and software. Look for "cracks" or "serials" for popular programs that require a file to be run. These files often contain viruses that execute when your run the crack program.  Torrents are a very popular way to share these files. When browsing torrent sites, look for torrents with low ratings and comments from other users warning about viruses. These are the ones you want. P2P sharing programs are another popular way to spread viruses. Programs like Kazaa and Gnutella are some of the more popular options. Lots of websites, known as "warez" sites, will offer "free" downloads for virtually any program. These are almost always infected with viruses and adware, and the program itself rarely works. Many advertisements—especially ones about enhancement-based drugs or services—redirect to shady sites which house viruses. Open your email's Spam or Junk folder, then open an email from an unknown sender and look for a download button or link.  Sometimes simply opening a spam email will be enough to contract a virus. For some spam emails, you'll have to click a link in the email to prompt a virus file to download. Screensavers are traditionally some of the most infected files around, especially when downloaded from untrustworthy sources (e.g., torrenting websites). This method will typically only work for Windows computers, as the screensaver (.scr) files will usually only be executable on a Windows computer. when your test is complete. In extreme cases, you may have to erase your computer's hard drive and reinstall the operating system to wipe out all traces of the virus.
A:
Back up your computer Ensure that your computer is in a secure environment. Understand the risks and legality. Connect your computer directly to the internet. Disable your computer's Firewall Disable or uninstall your antivirus. Visit internet security communities. Download files with known viruses. Click on shady banners and advertisements. Download attachments from spam emails. Download screensaver files. Get rid of the virus
