Helpful tips just for you

Through this web site, you are also able to obtain information about fixing commonly encountered and easy-to-fix problems. Check back often for updates.

Things that you can (and should) do yourself:

• Backup your computer - or at least your most important files on a regular basis. I could give you several reasons why you'll need one, but you'll likely need it for the reason that no one will predict.
• Get important updates from Microsoft, if not automatically. Microsoft regularly provides updates on the second Tuesday of every month. Occasionally, a critical update will ship sometime in between.
• Use antivirus and antispyware software and keep them up to date against the latest threats.
• Use a firewall - Windows Firewall if necessary, but preferably a better one!

Got viruses or spyware?

Of course, the best option is avoid trouble before it starts by having an antivirus program, one (if not two) antispyware programs, and a good firewall. These types of programs should have automatic updates turned on. Be wary of any unexpected emailed downloads - even if it's from people you know and trust. Please schedule a weekly scan of the entire machine's hard drive(s).
