As the coming "war" impinges on the safety of the internet, we'd like to
remind people to practice safe computing in the coming days and weeks.
Your first order of business should be to back up ALL your important
files, email archives, downloaded software, anything and everything that
is of importance to you. Back up any patches or version upgrades you
download while updating your OS, antivirus, antitrojan, firewall and
other security software. Should you encounter a problem and need to
reformat, it'll be easier to restore a secured system this way, rather
than trying to redownload patches through possible slowdowns and outages
during potential DDOS attacks. We can't stress this enough. Just back
it all up!
