Tips and Tricks
Keep your Anti Virus Software and Definitions Up-to-date.
New
viruses are released every day, out of date virus definitions will provide
little Protection.
Keep your Operating System
Up-to-date.
Keeping your operating
system up-to-date will offer additional security from hackers or viruses as
well as improve performance.
If you use the Internet, download
and use a Spyware Checker.
There are a lot of free Spyware Tools Available, We Use and Recommend
"Malwarebytes"
Most people are familiar with shareware, cookies,
interactive content, and file sharing.
What you may not realize is that some
of these may contain embedded code, called Spyware, that allows them to
track your surfing habits,
profile your shopping preferences, hijack your
browser start page and alter important system files.
This can be done
without your knowledge or permission.
Defrag and Scan Disk Computer Hard Drives Regularly.
All Windows
operating systems include Scan Disk and Disk Defragmenter. Both can
significantly impact system stability.
These programs should be run
regularly. It is important to close all before running these programs.
It
is best to run scan disk first and then run disk defragmenter.
Backup your Data.
This is probably the number one task that is overlooked by computer users,
yet it is perhaps the most critical.
Be sure to have some sort of backup system in place.
Internal or External
DVD / CD Writers or Hard Drives and USB
Memory Sticks are relatively cheap these days.
Also Remember if your Backup is the only copy, then it is not a Backup, a
Backup is a copy of the Original.
You Can Never Have Too Many Backups
