Software
When you think about software safety on your computer it is different from hardware, when thinking about software safety we think about the main thing in hackers. Hackers can be stopped by simple methods for example you may purchase firewalls which change or hide your computers ip address. If a hacker is to get access to your computer you should disconnect from the internet, this will stop the connection between your computer and the hackers.
Hardware

COPYWRIGHT ISSUES
Copyright - Definition A copyright is a form of intellectual property that grants its holder the sole legal right to copy their works of original expression, such as a literary work, movie, musical work or sound recording, painting, computer program, or industrial design, for a defined period of time. (QUOTED FROM: )
Copyright is a hard subject, many people think they can simply go and search any image they want and use for they own use, if the person make millions from this image/movie, if it is the original the designer can take the person to court and claim that its their idea and usually get a sum of money. This protects your work, most of the time, but there is still lots of illegal activity on the internet, its not just in pictures, it can be from people downloading music, movies, software ETC.
