A surge protector, but do not fully trust them, always turn your computer off in a thunderstorm, always. I had a $100 surge protector and it still failed to protect my computer, although my television and other equipment were all safeguarded by it.

That would be an Uninterrupted Power Supply, or UPS for short. To the non- to semi-tech savvy, they would be called a Surge Protector. These devices, depending on the brand you have, keep the computer's power from failing in the event of a lightning strike, brown-out, or black-out.

not being around one ================== ( a second answer) There are devices called surge protectors that are good to have to protect against power surges. The typical unit serves as the power supply to the computer. It plugs into the wall socket and the computer plugs into it. They come at various price levels and I understand that some of them are useless. The computer may also have some fuses of its own.
