Keeping your Cell Phone Free of Viruses
You’ve installed the latest virus and malware protection software on your PC. You lock down your home firewall as tightly as you can while still leaving enough open to do business. You train others in your home to use safe computing practices. And, then you find out there’s another route of infection that never even occurred to you - your cell phone.
It’s a never ending struggle against the forces of computer darkness.
Today’s cell phones, PDAs and other mobile devices are more than just communicators - they’re small computers. And, they’re on the largest, most public networks in the world.

Virus Protection Tips
Users of home computers are often baffled by slow performance and crashing systems – after all, the average home PC user has little technical knowledge and can’t be expected to understand the workings of a computer. If your home computer is connected to the Internet (as the vast majority of PCs are these days) the single most important thing you can do to protect your computer is to take measures to avoid damage, and use virus protection.

The Importance of Data Backups
For many people, computers have become a daily necessity. We use them for work, for correspondence and for entertainment. Many of the files are important documents and losing them would cost us time and money. Backups are the best way to prevent their permanent loss.

On the contrary, backups are a necessity for everyone. Even if your computer has been running reliably for years, it will fail one day - either through virus attack, user error or just age.
On that day, one of two things will happen. You’ll either suffer the grief that comes with losing financial information, passwords, music collections, personal photographs and all the software you’ve purchased. Or, you can repair or replace the computer and restore from the backups you’ve been making regularly. The latter is an annoyance, the first a disaster.
