In this age, the information age, data is the  driving  force  of
many businesses, especially internet-based  businesses.  Data  is
frail as it is subject to loss due to computer  viruses,  back-up
failure, mechanical failure, physical  damage  to  media  storage
devices, hard drive crashes, natural disasters, and human  error.
When these unintended and often unpreventable  disasters  happen,
data is lost and service to your customers is compromised.  Thus,
the role of a data recovery company is to salvage your  data  and
to protect your customer relationships from being  damaged  as  a
result of lost or damaged data.

Flawed thinking amongst many business owners is that the services
of a data recovery company will not be  needed  if  a  systematic
back-up process is used. Some companies leave it up to individual
computer users to back-up their data on  a  regular  basis.  Some
back-up their servers periodically throughout the day,  and  some
use automated back-up services.

Working on the Internet provides Internet marketers with the opportunity to make a living in the comfort of their own home. However, as your business is completely reliant upon your computer, you must take the necessary steps to ensure your computer is safe.

Over the years, I have received many questions in regard to computer security. Below, are some of the most frequently asked questions:

Question: I'm new to the Internet and have been hearing a lot about viruses. I'm not exactly sure what they are. Can you help?

Answer: A virus is a small piece of software that attaches itself to 'real' software programs (executable code). Each time you launch the real program, the virus is also launched. The virus may then spread and attach itself to other programs and wreak havoc on your system.
