Spring Cleaning
copyright © Bob Culbertson 2006
Spring has sprung and it is time to clean out the unwanted items collected over the past few months. Taking the time to clean out the rubbish is not only to make an improvement to your property but if we have an Internet connection it is an excellent time to remove the trash from your computer.
How does this apply to me, you say. When was the last time that you checked you computer for viruses and spyware?
- Scan your system for viruses
- At Trend Micro you can perform a free online virus and spyware scan of your system. This scan will take considerable time. Scan your system now, you might be surprised at what garbage you have that is slowing down your Internet experience.
- Keep your computer up to date
- Scan your system regularly for spyware.
After cleaning your system of viruses and spyware it is always a great idea to reboot. After you reboot take a look at your files and folders and check for files that you have not used in a while and save them to a CD. After you have saved these files to a CD you can delete them from your computer. This will free up some disk space on your hard drive.
Keeping you system running at top quality is essential if you are doing business on the Internet.
