PC Data Backups

Protect Against Virus Corruption

Today's latest and greatest viruses can very easily infect your system and can cause your operating system to corrupt, make your applications not work, or can infect (or even delete) your data.

Viruses are getting more and more sneaky every day and they are only going to get worse. It is a constant battle between the virus creators and the anti-virus software writers. Unfortunately, many times viruses can spread rampantly before the anti-virus software creators can even get an update created and made available, let alone before you can download it to protect your system in time?

When was the last time you updated your virus definitions? Do you automatically update them as they become available, or do you manually do it when you feel like it? Was that last week, last month, or did you just install the software and have never downloaded and performed an update? Unless you physically do updates yourself, or have it set to auto update, your system is not being properly protected.

Never underestimate the power of a virus to knock out your system and suddenly corrupt all your data files. They are a vicious fact of life in the computer world and even if you are taking the most diligent precautions, it can sometimes not be enough.

Should your system ever become infected with a virus with PC Data Backups you will be able to make your computer look exactly the way it did before it became infected using our advanced Easy System Restore function (included in our 10 GB Server Backup). You will have the ability to "roll back the clock of time" with just a few clicks of the mouse.

Virus corruption can also be particularly devastating to those who rely on just mirrored drives or RAID systems for their backup solution. Unfortunately, since it is not a true "backup" solution, as soon as the primary drive becomes corrupt, so does the mirrored drive. Unless you have an additional backup system in place, you will not be able to restore your data to a previous date.

Don't be infected by a virus! Keep your antivirus software protection up to date, and use daily offsite backups in case a virus sneaks in.
