Whether using a PC or a Mac, for business or pleasure, valuable data should be protected from impending harm caused by viruses, hackers, power surges, human error, natural disasters and more. The most important step in keeping data safe from being deleted, stolen, lost or damaged is to back-up regularly.

Due to the potential vulnerabilities of Mac OS X, Macintosh computer systems are more susceptible to security breaches than ever before. Many Mac users falsely believe that they are immune to virus attacks and OS crashing. It's true that Macs are generally affected less by intrusions than PCs, but that's only because Macintosh makes up such a small percentage of the market. In reality, with the growing number of viruses in existence there isn't a computer in the world that is exempt from these kinds of malicious acts.
