Protecting against viruses by backing up your important files |
Viruses have been around for a long time but perhaps not in such measure as today. Literally thousands of viruses are released every month around the world and cause more damage than you can imagine.
Most of the computer programs on your PC are designed to be helpful to you achieving your own aims. A virus is also a computer program which normally aims to engage in malicious activity. In terms of data loss, your hard disk can easily be corrupted and rendered unusable, viruses can erase files or all the data on the computer can be deleted. Even if you don't loose data directly, a virus could prevent you from using your computer. Almost everyone would have experienced a virus at some stage. They can enter your computer through many different avenues. The most common are through the internet and email or by loading a program or file from a CD, DVD, etc. It is therefore imperative you backup your important computer files such as contact database, accounts, client documents etc - all which are likely to be of great value to you and your business. Since viruses can sometimes lay dormant for days or even weeks, it's important to keep several versions of your files. The great thing about online data backup is you can protect several historical versions of a file. New Prospect Business Solutions online backup service can store up to 90 days of different versions of the same file without additional cost. This means if a virus effected one of your files 7 days ago, you can use our online data backup service to restore the file as it was 8 days ago before it was affected.
