THINGS TO DO:
......EVERY DAY
1. Update Virus and Spyware - viruses spread within hours, keeping your antivirus software up to date is essential.
2. Do Incremental Backups - make a copy of the files that have changed since your last full backup.
3. Reboot when Programs Crash - failed applications can cause other programs to falter. Restarting your system will clear it out.
......EVERY WEEK
1. Perform Full Virus and Spyware Scan - find anything nasty hiding on your system by regularly scheduling a total scan.
2. Do a Complete Backup - Better safe than sorry! A backup of all your data files will help if your hard drive fails.
3. Run a Spyware and/or Adware Removal Program.
......EVERY YEAR
1. Clean Out Your PC Case. - Open up the case and vacuum it out, or, use an air duster, to clear out the dust that can clog up fans.
2. Spring Clean Windows and Your Programs. - If your PC seems sluggish, make a full backup and then use the restore CD to return the system to it original state.
