PC running slow

Slow PC

That can’t be right. Well this has gotta be news, with the advent of 160gb hard drives, 256 mb video cards, and 3.0 ghz cpu’s your pc is still running slow. Hmmm, all you did was install a new application.

Few users understand or care about code today. The only thing that matters is does it work or not. Underneath the hood unknowingly, you just installed 500mb program. Wow talk about drive speed. That’s a lot of software. Now uncommon today. More Suites and productivity tools are bogged down with help files, installers, dll, etc built into their software. No wonder it’s slow.

Run defrag-this is a nifty little tool that compacts data on the hard drive keeping data easily accessible. After normal usage of applications, data gets scattered on a hard drive and needs compacting. I won’t get technical, however it works. Comes in Windows 98,XP, AND Windows 2000.

If you just want to upgrade, there is an 80-pin disk controller that acts as a 2 lane highway, greatly speeding up disk and data access. Consult a tech savvy person first, or do your research.

Virus,worms, Whacking

Help I have a virus. Computer infections,virus,worms, morphic code are
one of the most aggravating problems affecting computing today. This is
about the biggest problem any new or seasoned computer user can face, also Major Corporations. This leads to drive re-formatting,crashes,trojans,down time and many
other problems.

A virus is a piece of code that infects your computer system by attaching
itself to your computer code and possibly replicating or duplicating itself.
This is all done unseen. You never know its there. The hide behind
pictures, graphic images now also.

How can you protect yourself-Get virus protection software-Norton,
McAfee,Trendmicro. Trendmicro has worked very well for me. Many times I have
suspected a Trojan on my computer and ran Trendmicro --- bam, up
popped a virus, or Trojan software, you can set a autodelete feature for Trendmicro.
Scan daily, you,ll save yourself from headaches and service calls.

Internet Business Basics - Email

Microsoft Outlook. One of the biggest hurdles I faced after using viral sites and countless other sites was the filtering of junk email. If your reading this, you may have encountered the same problem. Sex emails, junk emails, garbage ads. It took me a while to clean up the sex emails.

After pondering and looking into Outlook deeper, I found I could set filters on many sections-contact,subject,word content, etc. After carefully looking over the emails in my inbox, I started setting filters for words, sites, email addresses, etc.

It took me a while, however I gained control of my emails. I also set up a filter and folder for junk to be reviewed later. Works fine. Email is a powerful tool when used correctly. TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR INBOX.
