1. Never turn your computer off with the power switch until Windows has shut down.

The one exception to this rule is when your computer locks up and your hard drive is not running (hard drive light is not blinking). In this situation, you can turn the power off without harmful effects to the hard drive. As cutting the power can also result in lost data or Windows files, you should only do this when you have to.

Following this rule will prevent permanent hard drive defects caused by the hard drive heads contacting the surface of the drive disc, and it will prevent a host of Windows problems.

Whenever possible, recover from crashes by pressing the Ctrl + Alt + Delete keys at the same time. Press them again to reboot your computer.

2. Backup any data you cannot afford to lose to at least two separate physical drives.

Important data, image, music, or other whatever you need, so backup data to external hard drives, Zip disks, CD-RWs or Backup Solution Software etc.

The time to backup is when you create something you can't afford to lose. Don't wait until tomorrow.

3. Do use a virus checker regularly at least once a week.

Everyone should use a virus checker. The best type of protection is continuous monitoring from a dedicated anti-virus program like Norton Antivirus, Symantec Protect Endpoint, or other brand of anti-virus. ( Always run liveUpdata before you start to scanning.)

The second bad thing is to use is the free online virus checkers such as Housecall provided by someone.

Run Scandisk and Defragment at least once a month. This will keep your hard drive healthy and prevent crashes. Alternatively, purchase Norton Utilities and use it to keep your hard drive healthy.

4. Do not let a lot of programs load up when you start your computer.

They use valuable memory and Windows Resources (Windows internal workspace).

All programs in your Windows System Tray (in the lower left of your screen) are running on your computer. Close them if you don't need them or run them and configure them not to load when you boot up.

Other programs running in the background can be found by pressing Ctrl + Alt + Delete at the same time.

If you really not sure please contact your company IT suport and fix it.

5. If you have a high speed Internet connection you need a firewall program.

A firewall program keeps those who want to hijack your computer from gaining access to your system. You really do not want someone else running your computer.

We suggest your company purchase and run Corporate Firewall program. Your firewall should boot up with your computer to protect it from invasion. Now get a firewall program and use it.
