Sure, there’s always a risk … and other ways of losing your data.

Tips

  • Install anti-malware/anti-virus software on your PC … and regularly update it.

  • Always exercise caution when clicking and opening things … use common sense.

  • Keep an offline backup of your important data on a 2nd Hard drive … you can lose your data in more ways than catching malware. eg. drive failure, power surges, accidents ie. it falling or dropping it

Can’t stress enough the last tip … keep backups.
