How Protected Are You?

Instructions: Starting off simple of course, most techinical inefficiencies are due to human error. Since reading technical pamphlets is as exciting as watching paint dry, pay attention to the simple tips and tricks your security software allows you to customize. Most of the time you can get a real bang for your buck when you simply upgrade from the standard default settings to the newly checked boxes.

Running repairs: You wait countless hours for a scan to complete only to find that the same problems are appearing that you have deleted before. What many people don't know is that deleting the problem does not completely cleanse your computer of it. Reason being, you may be removing the malicious part of the files (the most obvious) but overlooking the non-malicious part. This will only result in the corrupt file regenerating and compromising your computer once again.

Fixing is always best. This method will trace the source of the problem and associated files that are causing your ongoing computer issues.

Cookies: This is typical computer jargon and quickly becoming common language for even the technically challenged (like myself). Delete all of the cookies that are not vital to your daily use, which will ensure that the tracking cookies are wiped clean. Those are the bad ones that prey on the helpless computers that seldom if ever clean up their temporary files or browsing history.

Google or research: We all know if there's a problem, ghostbusters can't do us much good. So, we call upon google. You can always search on something you are uncertain about, like file name, details, or behaviors to really understand what that file is and how safe it is. We have all heard the horror stories of deleting a system file by accident or clicking on the email attachment which brought chaos to our innocent laptop. With a quick search, you are sure to come up with something helpful including tips on how to permanently rid your computer of the bad files. All it takes is a little elbow grease....
