They are important in order to safeguard a given computer\nsystem from external threats. Normally, antivirus apps have firewalls\nthat are enabled by default. This is important for blocking\npotentially risky port connections. Data entering in from a blocked\nport is discarded by the firewall.

Protection of privacy of documents and other\npersonal data is also enhanced by keeping Windows computers secure.\nBacking up important files is important to do, too, every once in a\nwhile.

Backups should\nalso include legal documents which must be kept for future reference.\nIt is important to note, backups need to be stored on external disks\nor drives. This is so if the computer itself gets corrupted or\nphysically compromised, backed up files can be recovered.
