Imagine your locker starts making weird noises randomly, like beeps or music, even when you didn't do anything to cause it. Some malware can make your computer play sounds unexpectedly.

It's like coming to your locker and finding some of your books are missing or your notes are all mixed up. Malware can delete or change files on your computer.

If your locker was suddenly super hard to open or close, taking a lot of your time and effort, that's what malware can do to your computer. It makes everything slow down because it's using up your computer's "energy" and space.

This is as if your locker started sending notes to lockers you've never heard of. Some malware tries to connect your computer to strange websites without you asking it to.

Imagine if your locker had a creature that could stop you from using your lock or cleaning it up. Some malware can prevent your computer from downloading the software you need to get rid of the malware.

Think of this as if the creatures took your phone and started sending weird messages to all your friends. Some malware can send spam from your email or social media, tricking your friends because the messages look like they're from you.

It's like your locker suddenly gets filled up with copies of the same note or book, leaving no room for your actual stuff. Some viruses can make copies of themselves and take up all the space on your computer.

The worst kind of malware is like a creature that locks your locker and won't let you open it unless you give it something in return (like ransomware asking for money). It can stop your computer from working until you fix the problem.
