Your computer allows you to do many different things and store a lot of important files.
So it's important to protect your computer and keep it running smoothly.
One of the biggest computer threats is malware.
Malware is any type of software that is designed to damage your computer or gain unauthorized
access to your personal information.
This can include viruses, spyware, Trojan horses and other types of software.
Any computer can get malware, although if you're using a Mac, it's less likely.
To protect your computer, you should install an antivirus program such as Kaspersky, Norton,
or BitDefender.
This helps prevent viruses from being installed, and it also lets you scan your computer and
remove any viruses that are found.
Keep in mind, no antivirus program is perfect.
To stay safe, you should avoid suspicious-looking ads or downloads, run regular updates to your
antivirus program, and also run updates to your operating system.
To keep your computer running smoothly, Windows has a couple of tools that you can use: Disk
Cleanup and Disk Defragmenter.
You can access these from your Start Menu by going to All Programs, Accessories and
then System Tools.
Disk Cleanup helps you free up space on your hard drive by scanning your computer for temporary
files and other files that can be deleted.
Disk Defragmenter rearranges the data on your hard drive to help your computer run faster
and more efficiently.
If something bad does happen to your computer, you could lose all of your important files.
To prevent this, you should back up your files regularly.
One way to do this is to buy an external hard drive and copy your files to it.
To make the backup process as easy as possible, you can use software like Windows Backup or
Time Machine if you're using a Mac.
Of course, if something happens to your computer and your hard drive, you'll still lose all
of your files.
For more security, you can use an online backup service like Mozy or Carbonite.
You may have to pay a monthly fee to use these services, but the advantage is that your files
will stay safe in the cloud, no matter what happens to your computer.
Following these tips can help you protect your computer and ensure that all of your
important files will be there when you need them.
