Online Backup Services

            You can also backup your files to one of the online
            backup  services like  Google  Drive,  Backblaze,
            Carbonite, Dropbox,  etc.  from  where  your  files  will

            always be accessible  to you. The amount of storage
            space provided by these websites varies and you may
            have  to  pay  a  monthly  or  yearly  fee  for  adequate
            storage.

                OTHER MAINTENANCE TECHNIQUES

            To keep your computer running smoothly, it is important to keep files and folders uncluttered.
            Cluttered or unorganised folders make it more difficult to find the files you need. Additionally,
            unwanted files can eventually fill up your hard disk drive, which will make your computer slower

            and more difficult to use.
            There are few things that you can do to delete unwanted files and improve your computer’s
            performance:
            ✶   Delete files: If you have unwanted files, you can delete them manually and move them into

               the Recycle Bin, then empty the Recycle Bin.
            ✶   Disk Defragmenter: Windows includes a Disk Defragmenter program in the Control Panel. It
               scans the files of your hard disk drive and rearranges them to free-up space. If your computer
               is working slowly, running Disk Defragmenter can help to speed it up.

            ✶   Disk Cleanup: Windows also includes a Disk Cleanup program in the Control Panel. It scans
               your computer for temporary files and other files that can be deleted. You can then delete
               the files to free up space on your hard disk drive.

                MALWARE

            Malware is a malicious software. It refers to software programs designed to damage or carryout
            other unwanted actions on a computer system. In Spanish, 'mal' is a prefix that means 'bad,'
            making the term 'badware,' which is a good way to remember it.
            The different types of malware are virus, worm, trojan horse, spyware, zombies, ramsomware,
            rootkit and backdoor.
            Virus


            A computer virus is a ‘piece of code’ or program developed to corrupt the data or program
            files stored on the computer system. It enters to the computer without permission of the user.
            The user of the computer may not even realise that the computer is affected by a virus. Viruses
            normally infect just one computer, however, if the computer is a part of a network, then the
            computer virus may spread to other systems much like a human virus which transmits from one
            person to another.
