Tips for keeping your computer healthy.

Maintain the hard drive. This should be done once a month. Click on My Computer, then right click on the hard drive ( Drive C). Go to Properties. There will be 5 tabs, under General there is a disc cleanup tool. Under Tools there are tools for error checking and fragmentation. Click on Defragment Now, when the new window opens, click on Analyze. The computer will tell you if the hard drive needs to be defragmented or not. Then click on the Check Now tool. When the new window opens, check both options, and start the scan. This tool checks the hard drive for errors and bad sectors.
Have a quality anti-virus, anti-spyware program or programs. Both Norton and McAfee have good anti-virus programs. For spyware, I recommend Spy Sweeper. It is the best anti-spyware program I've found. Keep these programs updated and scan your computer AT LEAST once a week.
If you want extra security online, you can go with internet security
software. Both Norton and McAfee make programs for this too. You can usually find both anti-virus and internet security in one program or a bundle; this is cheaper than buying these programs individually. If you pay bills online, I would recommend getting Window Washer; this program overwrites sensitive information before deleting it, making it undetectable to hackers.
Keep the operating system updated. This will keep with your computer updated with the latest security protection. You can set your computer to be updated automatically. Click on Start>Programs>Windows Update. This will take you to the update page where you can update your software and setup your computer to automatically updated.
