Back up your files to external media on a regular basis. Label
the backup copies clearly and store them in a safe place.

❖
Use Error-checking and Disk Defragmenter regularly to check
and optimize disk space and improve performance.

Scan all new files for viruses.
This precaution is especially important for files you receive via
external storage media, email, or download from the Internet.
❖
Take frequent breaks to avoid repetitive-motion injuries and
eyestrain.
