This article covers the dangers of virus and spyware infections, steps to safely browse the web, and why an available FREE anti-malware product is an excellent alternative to the "name brand" internet security products (Norton, McAfee, etc.) for home users whose budget does not allow the expense of subscribing to those products.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=twiznc.wordpress.com&amp;blog=2330145&amp;post=167&amp;subd=twiznc&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Data backup is critical for both businesses and home users.  Unless you would be okay with your computer disappearing from the face of the earth as you read this sentence (never to return), and not miss anything stored on its' hard drive, then you need to have a backup solution in place and backing up your data on a regular basis.  This article covers the importance of backing up critical/valuable data on your hard drive, discusses both "on-site" and online backup options, and recommends some good backup solutions (some of which are FREE).
