Since you are using a computer, you know there is a lot to know about it, but these are really important. To keep from getting confused or overwhelmed, you need to prioritize the information you receive. Just because you don’t understand the inner workings of your computer, doesn’t mean you should ignore protecting it. Not every piece of software is out to damage your computer, so you don’t have to fear using everything. In order to take good care of your computer, it is pretty easy to learn what you need to know. To prevent disasters from occurring with your computer, the following three tips will help.
Your computer normally generates heat when running, and that is why you will see fans mounted usually on the backend. Fans are even mounted on the top of many computer processors, also. Periodically you should be checking your cooling fans, and that is our first suggestion. You need to see if there is any dust build-up, along with making sure that they are working. Dust can clog up the fan cage, and this happens most of the time when the floor is where your computer is located. Your computer can become damaged from the heat that is trapped inside, when the fans get clogged up.
If you are new, then we recommend you never click on a window that pops-up and presents you with two choices to take an action; they are commonly malware agents. The worst part is you can hit ‘cancel’ or the little ‘x’ to close them, but they are really just masked.
Once you click on anything they will begin infecting your computer, and the way to close them without ever clicking on them is with your program manager. Once you hit: Ctrl-Alt-Del, then open the Task tab, and that is where you will see the pop-up you want to close. After you have done that, then click on the line showing the pop-up; then click the End Task command button.
Any time you do anything on your computer, your disk drive becomes a little more fragmented.
The more your hard drive becomes fragmented, the more it will slow down in speed when it accesses the hard drive. All PC’s have a little program that is the hard drive defragmentation program, and that will take care of the problem. Of course if you want to buy the software the can do this, then you can go online and find one. We have given you some simple tips for your computer that only a minimum of effort is required. Doing them is a very easy way to protect your computer, which can keep you from losing time and money. Actually, there are many other smart tips you can find that will do the same thing. Perhaps the most common advice that people do not follow is backing up their hard drives. It is a frustrating experience to have a hard drive crash, where you lose everything that was on it.
