10 Steps To A Safe, Smooth Running PC

10 Steps To A Safe, Smooth Running PC By Michael A Silva

HP Omni 100-5050 All-in-One Desktop PC - BlackThese ten steps will help you increase your computer's security. From discovering viruses to learning how to avoid them, this article is a must read!

Windows password This is the easiest way to make sure you know who is using your PC. Choose a lengthy password that contains capital and lower case letters. Including a number or two will greatly increase your security. Having a Window password means that the only people that can log onto a Window session are people that you have granted access to.

Password manager You should never write your passwords down. Using the same password that all the time will also make it very easy for hackers to reach your personal information. So if you can't write it down and you're not
supposed to use the same one ? how are you supposed to keep track of all your passwords? The easiest way to do this is to use a password manager. We prefer to use Roboform. Roboform is an easy to use password and profile manager that dock neatly into your Internet Explorer toolbar and keeps track of all your passwords for you. Roboform also uses a master password system. You will have one password that access all the passwords in the program. This way you can keep all your information safe and secure. You can download Roboform for free by http://www.roboform.com.

Spyware Remover Next to spam, spyware is the Internet's biggest annoyance. By definition, spyware is any software that covertly gather user information through the user's Internet connection without his or her knowledge, usually for advertising purposes. Once installed, the spyware monitors user activity on the Internet and transmits that information in the background to someone else. Spyware can also gather information about e-mail addresses and even passwords and credit card numbers. The amount of spyware that exists on your pc depends on the amount of internet surfing you do. A good rule of thumb here is to scan for spyware once per week or, whenever poor system performance surfaces. If you don't have a spyware scanner, we recommend http://www.webroot.com.

Antivirus This should go without saying, but if your computer is connected to the internet you need antivirus software. With weekly scans and program updates you should be protected from most threats. For added protection, we
recommend using more than one anvtivirus scanner.

Firewall A firewall will keep unwanted visitors out of your computer. You can obtain a firewall either by using software application like ZoneAlarm or Black Ice Defender, or by using a router with your internet connection. For more information on routers plese visit http://www.Linksys.com.

File sharing Basically, file sharing programs are the single biggest security risk you will come across. This is because the only facts you have about the files you are downloading are the file name and the file size. It is quite simple to change a filename to dupe someone into downloading a virus or other malware like keystroke recorders. Our advice stays away from file sharing at all costs. If you need to use it, make sure you have updated antivirus software installed and running.

Research In a sentence ? know what's out there. http://www.Symantec.com  has a section on their website  that will serve you well. Knowing what types of viruses exist  and how to avoid them will make you much smarter internet user.

Email protection Most of the antivirus applications available offer email scanning. If yours does not, you will want to get one that does. Email scanning will make sure all your incoming and outgoing emails are safe for both you and the recipient. Email viruses spread very quickly by using your address book to propagate. Never read email from people you don't know and always make sure your email scanner is active.

Network security Another way that virus spread is through computer networks. We have a few quick tips to keep your network safe. Always scan any files that come in from other computers. Even if it's a file you have brought from home. Never allow a file to be placed on your network until it
has been scanned. The main server should be the only computer with file sharing enabled. By not allowing computer users to transmit files, you can quickly neutralize a threat.

Maintenance Performing weekly virus and spyware scans will go a long way to keeping your computer safe. Defragmenting weekly will also greatly improve performance. If you put in the effort, you will be rewarded with a safe and smooth running pc. Not to mention  less headaches!

By following these ten guide lines, you will greatly improve the performance of your computer. You will also generate peace of mind as you gain a new sense of security.

6 Steps To Speed Up Your Computer

Webroot AntiVirus with Spy Sweeper 3-UserWe live in a fast paced world and we are always looking for the fastest way to get things have done. We barely have been timing to wait for our burger at the local fast food restaurant, our coffee to brew, our microwave popcorn to pop, so who has been timing to wait around for a slow computer?

Barring and adding more RAM to your computer, there are 6 steps you can take to speed up your computer's performance. Most of these steps will allow you to speed up your computer, free of charge since they are applications already installed on your computer.

The first step, you should take is to empty the Recycle Bin. It's easy to do. Just point your cursor to the Recycle Bin icon on your desktop, right-click, and choose Empty Recycle Bin.

Next, open your Internet Explorer, go to Tools, Internet Options. Click on Delete Cookies, then on Delete Files. In the window that appears, check Delete all offline content and click OK. Once that's done, click OK to close the Internet Options window, and close your Internet Explorer.

Pc Tools Spyware Doctor/Antivirus 2011 - 1 User/3 PcThose two is, steps are the quickest, and simplest ones so that's why we got them out of the way first. Next, we'll be conducting a Disk Cleanup. To do this, click on Start, All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, Disk Cleanup. The disk cleanup functions will now begin calculating how much space you will be able to free up. Once it finishes, it'll give you a list of files to delete. It should already have some files checked, but you can go through the list and check off all the files you want to delete, then click OK.

Now it's time to do a disk defragmentation. This could be a long process so you should probably set this up during a time when you have got other things going on. For example, set it up, then go watch your favorite TV show, or go mow the lawn, or go workout. You get the idea. To begin go to Start, All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, Disk Defragmenter. Click Analyzes. If you are lucky, you'll get the "You do not need to defragment this volume" call-out, but more than likely, you'll have to click on "Defragment." If so, click on it, go do something else, and come back in an hour or two.

Once that's done, it's time to run a spyware scan. Most people don't realize how easy it is to get infected with spyware, so running periodic scans is highly recommended. You can use any anti-spyware program you choose. Just be aware that no one program gets rid of everything. To play it safe, you should run at least three different programs. You might be surprised by what they find. You may have had spyware running on your computer and not even know it. Once the scans are complete, and all that spyware is taken care of, it's time for the last step.

This lasted step is to run an anti-virus scan. I hope you have an anti-virus program installed on your computer. If not, I highly recommend you get one as soon as possible. Once the anti-virus program is set, go ahead and run it. This could take anywhere from 20 minutes to the couple hours depending on how many files you have on your hard drive so once again, set it, and then go do something else. Come back in about an hour.

Once all the steps are complete. Restart your computer and you'll be surprised at how completely nimble it now feels. It's a good idea to follow these 6 steps at least once per week (some steps you can even set up to be done automatically). By doing this, you will keep your computer performing almost like it did when you first bought it.
