4.  The issues with data on your computer system are that once your computer has been attacked by a computer system threat you have no way of knowing whether your passwords of important information has been stolen from your computer. The best thing to do to protect your computer is that :  make sure you first have some sort of reliable anti-virus software installed on your system  Ensure that all of your personal information is locked with secure passwords and usernames to make it difficult to have them stolen  Have back up information devices such as memory sticks, floppy discs or CDs to allow you have information to use in case of emergency.

5.  These three points above should be able to help you to firstly protect yourself against computer system threats and if your computer is subject to hacking of any sort your passwords and usernames should make it increasingly harder for the viruses to obtain information.  Finally have another source of information for all your data on your computer so that if it has been unsuccessful at protecting itself then you have your information safely stored away.
