[QUOTE="Digmor Crusher, post: 1026267, member: 69540"] Many say that regular backups of your computer is the best protection that anyone can practise. I disagree. A backup does not prevent you from getting malware. Once you get malware it can restore your computer so that the malware is gone, but this is not protection. What happens if you get a data stealer and its 10 minutes before you are aware, all your data is stolen, you can restore a backup to get rid of it but this does not prevent your data being gone. How is this protection? A backup can only remediate after the infection. [/QUOTE]
