August 22, 2008, Newsletter Issue #214: How to Keep Your Online Research Safe
1
Tip of the Week
With all the research people do online today for genealogy purposes, it is important to be able to keep your records safe from computer viruses. A virus can occur in anything new that enters your computer system, things such as a download, a CD, a disk or a file. A virus can wipe out your entire computer, taking along with it your genealogy records. How can you keep these records safe?
First, if you receive attachments from someone about your genealogy search, and you aren't sure who that person is, never open an attachment that you aren't sure who the sender is. It could be infected with a virus.
Make sure you back up all important files you have pertaining to your genealogy. If you transfer all of your information to a disk, you will have that should anything happen to your computer files.
One other important thing to do is to invest in a good virus protection software. Some you can download for free, others that are more detailed have a fee. Either way, if you have a good virus detection program on your computer you should be able to keep your genealogy records safe.
