Backing up your computer is one of the most important things you should do in today’s digital age. Most people keep all their photos, videos, and music on their computers. One important thing that must be remembered is that computers do crash, and when they do everything on the hard drive stands to be destroyed and gone forever. Imagine losing all your photos in one second and there is nothing you can do.
Most importantly is how to backup.
The method I use, is to backup to an external drive for fast access to my files, and a nightly upload to Mozy for all my files. The one thing I don’t really worry about anymore is my computer crashing or getting stolen. I always have access to my important files.
So I decided to go with a more main stream virus protection software aside from my ThreatFire Freeware. To my surprise I noticed that Microsoft has a free anti-virus package called Microsoft Security Essentials. This suite is free and is appearing to do the job. I have not witnessed any adverse effects to the install nor computer slowdowns. Maybe, just maybe, Microsoft has put out a solid anti-virus product that does what it is suppose to, keep my computer safe without bugging me about it. If anyone has any comments about this software, please comment below.
AVG offers a great free anti-virus software program that is top ranked by many computer reviews. This software, like that from Computer Associates, does not take up large amounts of system resources. The advantage to this piece of software is that unlike the Computer Associates product, it does not expire after 1 year. Both products are great so I thought I would give everyone a choice and post this program which is favored by many computer experts.
