1. First things first, when it comes to computers
they are only as good as their owners.
So to keeping your computer in perfect working condition
remember this tip, if you don’t know the source then don’t click on it,
download it or install it.
2. If you have a laptop, remember to (discharge)
run the battery down until your laptop shuts off at least once a month. Today’s laptop batteries contain a memory
regarding the last charge. Discharging
the battery and then charging it completely before its next use will guarantee
longer battery life.
3. Install a good antivirus program. There are many misconceptions regarding what
the “best” antivirus is on the market.
Stay away from Norton and McAfee antivirus suites as they are virus
attractants, especially for the Trojan viruses.
Use a free service such as Windows Security Essentials or AVG as they have
free versions and the paid version of AVG’s antivirus suite is
outstanding. When it comes to viruses, be
careful of the websites that you visit whether purposefully or accidentally.
4. Install an antimalware program such as Malwarebytes
Anti-Malware. Malware is malicious
software used or programmed by attackers to disrupt computer operation, gather
sensitive information, and/or gain access to private computer systems. A good malware program like the one mentioned
above can help catch malicious software that your antivirus program could
potentially miss.
5. Finally, setup your computer to run a disk
cleanup and disk defragment schedule once a month. This will ensure smooth operation of your
computer within the realm of your control.
When it comes to computers we really don’t have a guarantee
that they will run at optimal speed and efficiency at all times. Following these 5 steps will help insure that your computer has a much better chance of operating proficiently and ready to use when you need it.
