                 Computer safety refers to the protection of computer-based resources against unauthorised use or
                 physical damage.
                 You know that computers are expensive, so if you have a computer, you must take care of it. It is
                 not difficult to keep your computer healthy and in good working condition. Maintaining a computer
                 involves three things:

                    Keeping it physically clean
                    Protecting it from malware
                    Backing up your important files


                        HOW TO KEEP YOUR COMPUTER PHYSICALLY FIT?


                 The first step in computer safety is to keep your computer physically fit. Dust can potentially destroy
                 the parts of your computer. By cleaning your computer regularly, you can maintain its performance
                 and avoid expenses on repairs.
