    Might be a good idea to do it this way, as it's nice to have backups
    and a place to recover your documents to when your computer does
    crash, or save important docs to an external harddrive. However the
    best suggest I have for you is to have a firewall enabled on your
    router. Hackers and viruses usually get in through open ports on your
    computer and having a firewall can help this. It is really easy to
    port scan computers and get in, especially since most people don't
    even enable basic firewalling that comes on your computer. This and
    use good antivirus software and programs like ad-aware. There are
    lots out there and it doesn't hurt to use two, buy one that is
    installed on your machine and watches your computer and then an
    online one like trendmirco (it's free and works great), it also tells
    you security risks on your computer and how to fix them I believe.
    Ad-aware, also free to download gets rid of all that nasty spyware
    thats everywhere. 

    I don't think you should worry that everytime you connect to the
    internet that viruses are going to get in. Just be causious of weird
    email with attachments and dodgy internet sites your downloading
    from. It's kinda like sex, be careful, use protecting and stay away
    from most porn, cause it might just hurt your machine.
