Awhile back I set a goal that I wanted freedom from the fear of losing files, viruses, spyware, malware or even a hardware failure. Bottom line, I never want to fix my computers again. I just want them to work. I want my files where I need them and I want them to be their automatically. However, threats are everywhere. You can't talk to anyone about computers without the topic of being infected with spyware or viruses coming up in the conversation. No matter how careful everyone says they are I don’t think anyone who’s used a PC in the past 5 years hasn’t inadvertently infected their computer with some kind of malware, lost files or experienced a major computer slow down for no apparent reason. At this point many depend on the skills and kindness of others to get cleaned, download free tools that promise sunshine and rainbows, or pay good money to get the nightmare over with. In this new age where being connected at all times has become a proverb there is a war going on to take control of your computer and use it against you and others systems. Online thieves work hard to get your banking information, credit card numbers and if they can, even your identity. They high jack your hardware resources like your processor, memory and internet connection to attack other systems so your PC is cranking away doing everything but what you want. If that’s not bad enough, you still have hardware failures to worry about. Hard drive crashes are not uncommon and just a good old fashion computer crash can take out all your files. We still carry around usb drives between home and work and email ourselves files we need on our other computer. It’s barbaric.
