Keeping your PC Trouble-Free
Today, computer users are mostly concerned about two things when working
online: security and virus-protection. Here are some useful tips on how to keep
your PC out of trouble without spending a lot of money.
Virus Protection
Let's start with virus protection. According to PC Magazine ninety percent of
all PC technical problems are caused by viruses sent to e-mail accounts. The
remaining 10 percent is spread through downloads, spy-ware and of course
visiting unknown sites. In order to be protected you must have antivirus
software installed, regularly updated with new virus definitions and a weekly
schedule for a full system scan. This will prevent your PC from getting
infected.
Apply Regular Updates to your Operating System
Most PCs are sold with a pre-installed version of Windows. This is not
usually the final version of the operation system, and minor updates and patches
are continually being produced. It is important that you apply any updates to
your version of Windows regularly to ensure that you have the most up-to-date
system.
Install a Firewall
A firewall is a security system that acts as a protective barrier between a
PC and the outside world. In addition to having up-do-date virus protection on
your PC, you should also consider installing a firewall (Router) to prevent
outside individuals from obtaining access to your PC without your knowledge.
