Lordy lord. Now I have to learn about back up hard drives.

I have never backed up anything in my life.

Most of my important information is stored in my "documents" folder on Microsoft word.

So if I do a system restore, will I lose any of this.
I have some of those CD-R cd rom things.

Do I back up my microword stuff on these cd rom things?

And what is the purpose of doing a system restore?

I just did an anti-virus scan and an anti-spyware scan. My Internet Security Suite is a Verizon Anti-virus thing that has anti-spyware (why it didn't stop Alan from downloading the winpro thing, well I dont' undertand it).

Also this Internet security suite, has firewalls, and a whole bunch of stuff.

I just periodically do the anti-virus scan and antispyware thing.

This time when I did the spyware scan, it ultimately revealed that I had win-pro there so I just deleted all the applications and the screen said I had no spyware in my current list.

So I assume that I'm all clear. Jeez. I'm almost 60 and I have to worry about things called spyware. And I don't even live in Russia.
