What important software besides antivirus should be installed on every computer? Taking into account that antivirus software can protect your data only from different malware but not from physical damage, it is definitely something that ensures complete safety of the data no matter what happens with the hard drive where it is stored. Without such software installed on your PC or laptop, all your data is extremely vulnerable. Should the hardware fail, it will be very problematic or even impossible to recover your data. Unfortunately, any hardware sooner or later fails, no matter how perfect it is. Statistics show that for a 3 year old hard drive the risk of failure is 6%. For this reason, using the computer with no special protective software installed on it can be compared to sitting on a barrel of gun-powder. The only difference is the cost - sure it won’t be your life, but a whole bunch of problems resulting from data loss. At worse your carelessness may cost you your job, if you lose critical business information and do not manage to convince your boss that it wasn’t your fault. Doesn’t sound very pleasant, does it? This is where Acronis True Image Online comes into play, offering a superb
