9. What is computer preventative maintenance? Why is it important?
Guard Against Malicious Software
There are many things a computer user can do to keep the computer running smoothly. The most important is to prevent the computer from getting infected with a virus, a worm, or spyware. Many places on the internet will entice the user to download malicious software, so computer users should be especially careful. An infected computer system can get so bogged down with junk programs that it is virtually inoperable. Sometimes the only way to "cure" it is by performing a complete reinstall of all the programs and the operating system. Anti-virus and firewall software can be an effective means to protect a computer from malicious software.
