1st Rule of Computing: If you don't want to retype it or will miss it, if it disapears, BACK IT UP. Keep in mind that a damaged file or one that has been compromised by a virus or other malware may be of little or no value.
If you use E-mail, the Internet, a network of any type or share disks or media with anyone, you
need to protect your system from Viruses, Worms, Spyware, Adware Phishing and other assorted malware.
If you do not update your virus definition files daily you are not protected. For you fellow literalists, you need not update definitions on days you do not turn on your computer.

November 2007 Update:
Please Note: Currently we are using only Windows XP with Service Pack 2 and only with Protection. Though I find it amusing that allegedly knowledgeable people refer to Windows XP as a reliable operating system, it is true that XP is the most reliable operating system from Microsoft since DOS 5.0.
Only compared to the beta versions and slop that Microsoft has released impersonating Operating Systems in the last few years, can Windows XP be considered stable and reliable.
Using Microsoft Windows XP without Protection is comparable to stepping out of a moving vehicle on the Interstate.
The products currently used to protect the computers and network at JSP Computer Consultants, Inc. and Sites That Sell Network from Microsoft and other dangers on the Internet:
