• If you do not have a backup system,we recommend you purchase a portable hard drive.
• Check your scheduled “backup” scheme to see if it is still applicable. Add folders and files to be backed up as necessary.
• Test the restore function for the backed up files to ensure the restore works properly. Create a folder on you computer and restore your back up to the folder. Afterwards, delete the test folder.

• Review settings for product configurations. Confirm settings are appropriate for the current level of security needed. 
• Review firewall settings to ensure they are configured for automatic updates (if available), known applications are allowed, known inappropriate sites are blocked and known port scans are blocked.

• Review current zone settings (Tools/Internet Options/Security tab) for appropriate levels. The minimum level of security should be the default level which is set at Medium-High for the Internet zone. Adjustments can be made based on your needs.
