Protecting Your Data from Viruses
One of the greatest threats to your data comes from viruses.
These nasty-sounding creatures are insidious programs created
by malefactors. Some viruses are designed to render your com-
puter inoperable; others will erase files. The worst part is you
may not be aware that your system has been infected until it’s
too late.
The most common way computers catch viruses is by down-
loading and sharing infected files via e-mail and other Internet
services. You can protect your data against viruses by using ant-
virus software. These programs are designed to seek out and
eradicate or quarantine viruses before they can cause damage.
There are a number of good anti-virus programs on the market
for both PC and Mac.
Cleaning the Drive Case
Always unplug all cables from the Drive before cleaning it. Clean
the Drive using a soft, dry cloth. For tough dirt, dampen a soft
cloth with some neutral detergent diluted in 5 to 6 parts water;
wipe off the dirt, then wipe off the Drive with a dry cloth. Do not
use alcohol, paint thinner, or other chemicals; they may damage
the case materials.
