If you choose to continue, here are some things you can do to make problems less severe:
 
<br>
 
* archive any files deemed important within your operating system (eg: family photos, work documents, music etc.).
 
* have available the installation files or disks that contain the game(s) in case you need to re-install it.
 
* make copies of any files or folders which may be changed (eg: savegame folders)
 
* understand and know the outcome of the exploit which you are trying use.
