nUse a virus-check program and make sure it is updated regularly.

nNever format storage media without checking its content - formatting destroys all stored data.

nIt is a good idea to periodically back up the internal hard disk drive or other main storage device to external media. General storage media is not durable or stable over long periods of time and under certain conditions may result in data loss.

nBefore you install a device or application, save any data in memory to the hard disk drive or other storage media. Failure to do so may result in the loss of data.
