TIP CORNER


Your online and you get this "YOU GOT A VIRUS! CLICK HERE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM" DON'T DO IT!, it's a scam. A lot of web sites get payed by x company to display this link and the moment you do it dose put a virus in your computer. Then you have to pay for the program in order to get rid of the virus, this is probably the most unethical practice on the internet! Do not believe everything you see from pop up adds, your antivirus program on your computer will catch any virus trying to creep in. Also, do not install more then one antivirus program in your computer and the reason is they can cancel each other out. Stick to one of the fallowing;

1:Bullgard - This a by far (in my opinion) one the best anti-everything
program you can get. Try their free 6 months version and
if you like it you can purchase the key from the company
with out un-installing it!
2: AVG - Excellent, it's free version works great!
consumes very little resources
3:Norton - Excellent, but, very resource hungry
4: McAfee - Same as above
5: Spybot - Good all around program, dose the job.

These are my top five, why Norton and McAfee at the bottom of the list you ask? Thou excellent programs, they are to resource hungry and if you have a older computer they will slow it down. Besides there are to many bullets out there with their names on it. Bullgard (http://www.bullguard.com/) package protects you from everything that will sneak in your computer. It is a little hard to setup if your a novice, but, not that much. AVG (http://free.avg.com/) we put it on all the computers we refurbish and service, the free version works excellent. Will not slow your computer down and if you want to buy the full version it will only coast you $49.99. Spybot ( http://www.safer-networking.org/en/index.html) has been around for a lone time and does a pretty good job on protecting your computer.

If your computer is not running right or you suspect a corruption in the operating system then do a "System Restore". Go to "Start - all programs - accessories - system tools - system restore" Follow the prompts, select a date you want to restore to (oh! 2 or 4 days ago at least) and just follow the prompts.

Another thing you can do is go to http://onecare.live.com/site/en-au/default.htm?mkt=en-au and select the broom for a good clean out of you registry and junk. You have to use Internet Explore to us this site, it will ask to allow it to install "active x). Not hard to use and it dose a real good job. A program to buy and install is "REGVAC" (http://www.regvac.com/regvac.htm) it simply the bomb! Yes! that good!

Run defrag on your hard drive (at least once every quarter). Go to "Start - all programs - accessories - system tools - Disk Defragmenter" Select the analyze button and follow its recommendations.

Run Clean out every time you get of the internet (see below).

Well I hope this helps you on how to do some preventative maintenance in your computer, if you have a question please email us and we will gladly respond back, remember there is no such thing a stupid question especially when it comes to computers!

If you have a Ubuntu machine you should know that we found “Ghost for Linux” and it works great! If you are familiar with Norton’s Ghost you will find the Linux version works almost the same (by the way no association with Norton), if you would like a copy then e-mail us and we will tell were to get it.
