The guides I wrote are found on my newly renovated Windows Computer Help website. Each guide also has a links to products you can buy like computer tools, books, parts, and resources you can use to maintain, fix, or upgrade your computer, or learn more about Windows and computer.
Some basic tips I talk about is keeping you computer secure by installing an Antivirus, Antispyware, and AntiMalware program while also backing up your important files to keep them safe from virus infections.
To keep your computer running smoothly, you should occasionally do scan disks, disk cleanup, and defrags and windows updates.
Installing more RAM, a faster CPU and video card which is compatible with your motherboard can also give you a noticeable speed boost.
Linux Distros like Ubuntu Linux 11.04 are best installed on older computers with 1GHz CPU with 1GB of RAM, and a decent video card.
The safest place to recycle old computers is a computer recycling depot.

Tsk, I only have an antivirus on my PC. 🙁
An Anti-virus would probably be good enough if your anti-virus is also good at detecting adware, spyware, malware, and spam if you use an e-mail client. I heard Vipre, Avast, and Kaspersky anti-virus is a very powerful and good anti-virus. But, I like using Spybot, Superantispyware, and Malwarebytes to do scans once a week to make sure my computer does not have malware which my antivirus missed.
