The real problem with viruses is that you don’t always know when you have them,Do You Know Why a Windows Backup Is So Important Articles even if you have anti-virus protection installed. A small virus can quietly be eating away at your data when you think you are safe, and that is tremendously dangerous. The only way to get around it may be to buy a new drive, wipe your old one clean, or to try and recover from a Windows backup – if you have one.

Putting in a Windows backup regimen is not nearly as difficult or time-consuming as it used to be. You can simply install the software and it will run automatically, according to your pre-set commands. From then on, you don’t have to worry if a virus attacks you, because you will have a place to go where your disk and data were clean.

If you think that your anti-virus software will completely protect you from data loss, then you may have forgotten about the many other reasons for making sure you have a backup – hard drive malfunction, loss, theft, or the simple accidental deletion of information. Most people who go to their backup for data do so because of something they did and not actually because of a virus, and there is no protection other than a backup that will protect you from yourself and the mistakes you may make.
