Computer Tips

Run Scandisk and Disk Defrag once a month.
Uninstall software that you no longer use.
Make sure that your computer has atleast 20% or more free hard drive space.
Restart your computer when your computer feels slower then usual
Scan your computer for Spyware, and viruses atleast once a month. I recommend AVG anti-Virus and Spybot- Anti-Spyware. They both are free and are easy to use.
Install a software firewall like Comodo.
Run Windows Update atleast once a week.
Don’t visit adult sites, and illegal file sharing sites unless you know for sure they are safe.
When picking passwords for your accounts make sure they have Upper and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters like @#$%.
Change passwords once a month or more.
