Learning to back up your precious DATA files to CD or DVD using NERO |

Contrary to popular misconception, a computer security system is not just a matter
of installing an 'anti-virus' program. As a comparison, ensuring your car is safe to drive is not just a matter of checking the tire pressures. Luckily, ignoring your computer security system is not as bad as discovering the brakes have failed on your car. But the pain can be quite similar indeed! A complete security system consists of the following things: • An Anti Virus system • An active Firewall • A monitored Spyware detection removal and prevention system • An active and monitored 'Microsoft critical updates' control system • A Data Backup system or policy • A core system restoration kit ( updated once a year ) • A Hard Disk Drive integrity service check ( once every 6 months ) • A UPS or surge protection device to protect the equipment • A safe place to store all system device drivers and original program CD's and finally ... someone responsible to take care of it all. All this may seem like a nightmare but they are important steps for any modern computer system to survive and essential for any chance of recovering a damaged or compromised computer system. |
