How to maintain your computer for faster speed and reliability!

 It is important to maintain Windows to keep it stable, fast, and responsive, so you can keep doing your work on your computer without dealing with slow downs, and other annoyances which are caused bu a poorly maintained Windows computer.

 In most cases, all you need to do is do disk defrags, disk cleanups, and scan disks on a monthly basis to keep Windows running well. There are plenty of free and paid system utility software which make maintaining Windows easily. All you need to do is install a system utility software.

I like using TuneUp Utilities 2012 because it automatically, and reminds you to do disk defrags, scan disks, registry cleanup, registry defrag, privacy sweep, disk cleanup, and live optimization which makes maintaining Windows very simple to do. It also can be use to fix common Windows problems, and optimize Windows to make Windows run a lot faster, or as fast as the day you bought your computer. TuneUp Utilities can also customize Windows appearance to make Windows look, and feel the way you want. TuneUp Utilities user interface is also very easy to use.

Maintaining a Computer during School Year, so both you and PC performs at its best!

A computer is a necessity for every student during the school year. Sure you can use the library computer, but it is not very convenient, or even slower and hard to use compared to your home computer. Plus, it is not always available since someone is using it already.

However, the teacher expects you to hand in a essay for English in a few days. Most teacher don't really care that your computer is slow, or broken. They expect you to hand in your work typed and on time.

Asking the computer teacher, school computer repair staff, and the nerdy computer wiz kid at your school for help can be unreliable since they might not want to help, are too slow to be any good, or they might want a favor back from you. It is best to keep your computer running at its best, so you can avoid asking for help by fixing and maintaining your computer yourself.

I give you some simple tips to maintain your computer during the school year so it runs its best to help you finish your homework faster, so you have more time to socialize with friends, play video games, or to review your work.

Tips for Maintaining your computer

1. Keep Windows updated by making sure Windows Update is updating Windows, or run Windows Update manually.

2. Use an Antivirus and AntiSpyware to protect your computer from the latest viruses and spyware.

AVG antivirus  works pretty well for at protecting my computer from viruses and spyware. Also, don't open weird e-mail attachments which you are not expecting if a friend sends you an e-mail attachment you are not expecting. E-mail them back, and ask if they actually sent you a e-mail attachment. Some E-mail viruses are very smart, and can send everyone's on your friends e-mail address list an e-mail virus, and make it look like your friend sent it. Also, don't download files from un-trusted sources like piracy sites, and weird download sites which seem unsafe.
