Computer Maintenance - Do it YOURSELF!
Computer Maintenance - Do it YOURSELF!Author: Jarvis EdwardsDid you know that like human beings, computers need preventative care to stay “healthy”? That’s correct, computers need to be maintained regularly, to ensure that they continue working in peak condition for years to come. No, I don’t mean wiping your computer clean with a cloth!(Actually that IS a small part of it though). There are many “tips” on keeping your computer fast and efficient, many methods should be performed by a skilled user only, but there are many that the average home user can handles with no problems.Follow these tips below, and your wallet will be glad you did:1.) Ensure that you are using anti-virus and anti spyware applications, and you computer is scanned at LEAST once weekly. Make sure that the definition files are set to “automatic update”. A good free anti-virus choice is “AVG free”, and can be found at www.free.avg.com. “Spybot”, a good anti-spyware app, can be found at: www.safer-networking.com. 2.) Make sure that you are using a firewall at all times when on the internet, and you are using WEP or WPA encryption, to thwart online intruders from invading your computer. Hardware firewalls are the best option in my opinion, but “Zone Alarm” is an excellent free software choice, I use it myself; go to www.zonelabs.com to download the free version.3.) Defragment your hard drive regularly. Defragmenting is the process in which Windows optimizes your hard drive(s) by rearranging the files on your hard drive so they are back in order. As clusters of files on your hard drive become fragmented, they grow further apart and it takes longer for your computer to find and assemble the pieces necessary to run your programs.
