How To Improve Your Computer

View:

1. Use a firewall on your home or work PC, a study found that 70% of US home owners of PCs did not have an up to date firewall installed, there are some free online, just Google Free firewall software. The firewall protects the ports on your computer that can be attacked from someone online, by restricting access to the programs on your computer.

2. Install an anti virus program, this will detect when you download anything that contains a virus or if it is has a Trojan horse (as in Helen of Troy-the virus hides in a zipped file, waiting to attack?) it is too late if you open the zip file. Most free anti virus programs will give an audible sound when 1 has been detected, so that you can delete it.

3. Never and I repeat Never open emails from anyone you do not know, do not even reply to them, because if you do they now have your name and IP address which can be traced back to your front door.

4. Do not leave your computer in public view when you are logged in or are logging in, people could be watching. Always check when using public computers that a key logger is not in the back of the computer it looks like a barrel and stores all keystrokes, so people can download your activity with account names and passwords, scary! Never save your passwords when you use computers in public libraries, other people could use your details!

5. Never log in to your bank account or Paypal account when you share a computer, no matter if it is in your dorm, unless you totally trust the person you share with. You would not want to find your account empties would you?

6. Never give anyone your log in details for any account- this can be used against you. It is just the same as shredding all your old bank statements; you would not want anyone to get their hands on them!

You may think it is extreme, but we have all our computers secured in PC enclosures, this provides them with a safe environment so physical security is guaranteed. No one can gain access to the computers with out actually opening the steel computer cabinet. If you follow the 6 tips above you will certainly be safer online. You do not need to purchase any software, just type the type of software you need into Google and you will find tonnes to choose from.

Also be aware of receiving PDF files in an email as there are new viruses around that are being distributed this way and take care online.

How To Improve Your Computer

When computers begin running slowly, most people take it for granted. They think that the computer must be just burdened with some software, or must be finding it difficult to do a particular task. The common notion is that deleting some programs from the computer will make the computer run at its normal speed once again. But what most users do not realize is that a computer running slowly is not just about the load of resources on it. Quite probably, some program is trying to write into the system memory and that is slowing it down.

The simple thick of things is that the memory of your computer has become so full that there is nowhere else programs can write on your PC. Hence, it uses the RAM which is reserved for the system tools. It is now easy to understand why the computer slows down. Also, if the computer has its RAM written into like this, it indicates that the computer is slowly going to conk out completely, since the system tools will not be able to function to their fullest. For all you know, this could be the last time your computer worked before crashing completely.

This is where memory optimizer software can help a great deal. Memory Optimizer is PC cleanup software. As programs keep writing into the computer's memory, the software keeps cleaning up all the temporary unused files, such as installation files. This frees up space on the computer, which would otherwise have been rendered complete and useless. The result is that the RAM of the computer is untouched, and it can keep functioning at its fullest potential.

At the same time, it must be noted that the memory optimizer software will never add any load on the computers. The software contains small installation files, and it goes on in the background all the time your computer is working. In this way, the PC cleaning software will not take any major share of your memory. This is important for the computer to function effectively.

All memory optimizer software programs are total PC management software too. They can help keep the PC clean (and thus working fast) by cleaning out the temporary files such as those in the cache memory, the recycle bin, the auto-recovery and back up files, etc. When all these files are continuously removed, it ensures that the computer gets free of unneeded resources and it begins running faster.
