The above tools seem useless until you really need the information. Once you lose
a drive to catastrophic faliure (I have twice ove the years) you can't find the information
these tools provide. Keep this information handy. One way could be to send the
information to yourself in an e-mail so you always have
access.

Protection against Malware, Spyware, Viruses and Malicious Software is a
MUST today. The tools
offered here provide a measure of security against threats to your system FREE.
NO claim that these tools provide 100% protection, such claims would be
irresponsible
and such tools do not exist. The struggle against evil is constant and
keeping tools as current as possible is imperative.
DO NOT
click links in e-mail messages from unknown people.
The real content of the link in the message might be a virus.
DO
keep your computer protected with an antivirus and/or a security suite.
DO
Backup your data files, precious pictures regularly (frequency depends on how often your data changes) at least monthly and keep a copy off site if possible
(safety deposit box, at a close relative's/friend's or - NOT as ideal, a private spot at your place of work under lock and key). Large capacity Thumb Drives (USB sticks) are most reasonably priced and are ideal for backups.
