Newsletter
The Newsletter contains various
tips and tricks on various software programs, hardware ideas, input and
information on general computer-related subjects. Spending over 20
years working with computers, I have come across a lot of
tips and tricks. This Newsletter does not get into very extreme details
. . . this is for those who work with computers at all levels so some
tips & tricks may be well known while others may not be.
This is a
*FREE*
Newsletter.
The Free Newsletter is temporarily stopped
for a while. Please check back
often, as my health allows. I hope to re-start the Newsletter again.
Thank you.
In the meantime,
here are some helpful Maintenance Guidelines to follow to keep your
computer in tip-top shape: (Applies to Windows only)
THINGS TO DO
. . .
Every Day
Update your
virus and spyware definitions: Viruses spread within hours, so
keeping your antivirus software up-to-date is essential.
Do an
Incremental backup: Making a copy of files that have changed
since your last full backup is quick and easy to do.
Reboot when
programs crash: Failed applications can cause other programs
to falter. Restart your system after every crash to clear it
out.
. . . Every
Week
-
Perform a full
virus and spyware scan: Find anything nasty hiding on your
system by regularly scheduling a total scan.
-
Do a complete
backup: Better safe than sorry. A backup of all your
data will help you recover if your drive should fail.
-
Run Windows
Update: Get the latest patches from Microsoft to secure your
system, by running this from the Start menu.
-
Run a
spyware-and-adware removal program: Ranking of anti-spyware
apps:
