Hard to say on part of that - I'd have to poke around some to look for issues. See if you can get a computer savvy friend to sit down with you. One good place to start is to clean up Internet files (delete cookies and temporary files you don't need) and clean your registry. Also, go into control panel and run hard drive clean-up. Then power down then back up. As far as backing up files, using USB drives is fast and cheap. I also have an external hard drive that has enough speed and capacity to backup my whole PC pretty quickly.
It may not make them any safer. But it may make them load faster and reduce the chances of a the drive causing problems. You'll still want to back them up to an external drive of some sort. I keep two full back-ups. One I keep handy at my home and the other in a bank safe deposit box in case the one backup is burned in a fire, stolen, damaged, or whatever.
