I let a 13 yr old play yahoo games on my computer. She went onto FB and down loaded a game from that site and by the next morning I had serious problems. My son is a computer wizard and he traced it back to that game. Well there was no saving my computer. He got me a new one and while setting it up he had me repeat 3 rules. No one uses my computer but me - I do not know enough about computers to down load anything. - Free downloads are never ever free.

I bought a Passport external drive for regular, and almost continuous, backup. I also use a thumb drive. Also, Youncan get 5 gb from Amazon on their cloud for free. You do not have to be a Prime member.

Pay a yearly fee and get Carbonite. You get what you pay for. It's safe and you don't have to do anything. Every file and picture is backed up forever. New computer? You don't lose anything from the old even if it crashed.
