Resources To Keep Your Computer Virus Free In Delaware

By: Samson Paulotti

The technology age has arrived and many in Delaware are caught up in the rush. It's easy for anyone to get caught up in the rush until abruptly stopped by damaging viruses in their computer. Computers are a great resource and with them come the wonderful resources of the internet and all of the information contained within the World Wide Web. Resources that we never thought would be put in front of us from all around the world. There are some helpful hints for any homeowner that can keep these viruses clear of your computer.

One of the first places to start cleaning up your computer is anywhere that you can share files with other users. This is a huge problem within any of the sights where you can download music and other files such as LimeWire and Kaaza. These are not resources that you need. The act of downloading the music is illegal to begin with and all of the programs completely ruin and slow down your computer. Also, they are very easy to be hacked into by anyone with a simple knowledge of the internet, putting all of your personal files and information as well as your computer at risk. The best way to rid yourself of this program is to never download them or to get rid of them if you have them. All you need to do to remove them is to go into your start menu, get into your control panel, and click add/remove programs. There is nothing good that can come from the programs mentioned above.

Another simple task is to get anti-virus protection for your computer. Every computer should have some form of virus protection for their computer. It's very similar to getting a flu shot or a vaccination to prevent anything bad from happening to your immune system in the future. As sick as it may sound, there are people who enjoy sending and spreading these viruses that ruin all of the hard earned money and resources you've put into your computer. You can find any of these anti-virus protection programs at local general stores, such as the Norton Anti-Virus, or you can download certain programs like AVG for free on the internet.

After you have your computer completely covered with no file sharing programs and an anti-virus program installed, the most important part is to keep updating and cleaning your computer regularly. A great way to get rid of things you may pick up on the internet that you don't need would be by going to your start button, clicking on programs and then clicking on accessories, and then system tools. Once you get there click on disk clean up and all files and items that are meaningless to your computer will be trashed. Directly after this is done another great resource to use is the disk defragmenter. You can use this by going to the same place you went to get the disk clean up, but instead of hitting the disk clean up you'll click on the disk defragmenter.

There is nothing more frustrating than turning your computer on and waiting a half an hour to be able to do anything with it, or, even worse, to be paying bills or managing accounts online and have your entire computer crash only to never turn back on. Good advice it to make sure you back up your files, and if you follow the advice and get the resources from above, you computer should be completely virus free for the entirety of its desk life.
