*Don’t Store anything on your Desktop*
The “Desktop” is typically not backed up, so if the computer crashes then anything on the desktop is lost. If you need easy access to a file or folder from your desktop then store the file/folder in an area that is backed up and Create a Short-cut to it and put the Short-cut on the Desktop, not the actual File.
*Don’t Save Passwords|-ja6
It is better that you input it every time. If you get any SpyWare
on your PC one of the two major things they do is look across your system
for any saved passwords, also means that if someone else is working at your
computer they wont have automatic access.

*Don’t Rely on E-mail*
E-Mail, by its very name is Electronic Mail. Although it is almost
instant, like normal “snail mail” there are numerous reasons why it may not
be delivered to/from you in the time you expect and there is no guarantee
that it will arrive at all. Even if the E- Mail does arrive then there is
also no certainty that the recipient will action it immediately. They may be
out, in a meeting or just not checking, I know of people who don’t check there
e-mails for weeks. Like any letter, if the information on an E- Mail is so
important that you must have it then get the person to Fax or courier, and
in some cases even hand deliver/collect it.

*Don’t Install Anything*
If you don’t know exactly what you are installing, on your computer,
then don’t install it. It may not be what it seems. Especially SpyWare cleaners,
they are more likely to infect you than clean.
