Tips

Some of the most important things to remember are:

• Never open email attachments ( unless you absolutely need to or know that they are safe ) this is now the number one way to get viruses on your computer.
• Try to keep the programs starting up with you computer to a minimum. ( although convenient, this slows down you computer allot, and can even cause it to crash.
• When you have a problem WRITE IT DOWN!! ( exactly what the error message says, and what you were doing at the time ). this will help who ever fixes it.
• Never  install homemade software that is copied unless you absolutely trust who gave it to you. And never install copyrighted software that has been copied!
• When online do not give out information unless you want it given out to everybody. If you fill out forms online make sure you are on a one-to-one secure connection with the site by looking for the security lock on the lower right hand corner of the screen. ( yellow padlock ) just above the clock. When you see this lock it is safe to fill out information.
• Try to use the defragmenter for your hard drive at least once a month, this will keep you system running as fast as it can.
• Keep your antivirus software up to date!! Look for updates at least every two weeks.
• Watch your children!! The best way to keep your children off of adult sites is you! Software does not work. Teach your children how to use bookmarks, and you save their sites. or you go to new sites first to see what it is...
• Watch your hard drive space, keep at least one GIG available for windows to use. 
• When online and a web site asks to install software  before you can do something DON'T DO IT unless you know what it will do for sure, some sites use these downloads for tracking you and giving out viruses. They are most of the time next to imposable to uninstall.
• The definition of a computer virus is; a program or file that is installed that does damage to your PC by doing things to it you do not wish to have done and have no control over..
• Use the Help given in windows first to try to fix your problems, this will also give you some added experience with you PC.
• Use a good quality surge suppressor for your computer and monitor, this will save you allot of grief.
• When you are online and your computer locks up or crashes, it is not necessarily the fault of your PC. When you are online you become connected to many other computers or servers ( this is called a network ). If any of these are having problems so can you! Try going to another site if it works then go back to the one you wanted etcetera, then you will know if it is just that site or not.
