How to Keep the PC UP and Run­ning

The Per­sonal Com­puter is a very impor­tant part of our life now days. It is very impor­tant to keep the PC in up and run­ning con­di­tion. Most of the Per­sonal Com­put­ers are installed with Microsoft’s Win­dows oper­at­ing sys­tems. Here are few tips to keep the PC in run­ning con­di­tions:1. Keep the Win­dows Updated:- If the PC is installed with Microsoft’s win­dows then go to the My Computer’s prop­er­ties and acti­vate the Win­dows Update ser­vice. This will start the Win­dows update ser­vice and will con­tact to the Microsoft’s web­site and will down­load the lat­est updates as per the require­ments of the Oper­at­ing sys­tem. The Win­dows Update ser­vice will keep the track of the updates of the PC. It helps in remov­ing the bugs from the Win­dows. This ser­vice will auto­mat­i­cally install the lat­est ser­vice packs of the oper­at­ing system.

2. Keep the Reg­istry Clean: Keep the track of the installed pro­grams. Do not install the mali­cious pro­grams in the PC because at the time of instal­la­tion it will not show any errors, but one it is installed then it will affect the reg­istry of the com­puter. There are cer­tain pro­grams from Microsoft which can clean the reg­istry with­out harm­ing the PC.
3. Keep the sys­tem Clean: As we use the com­puter every­day, while work­ing always some data get copied in the tem­po­rary fold­ers, do not for­get to clean these fold­ers. Some tem­po­rary data stays in the TEMP folder and user spe­cific data resides in the User local settings/Temporary files . Always delete the Cookie files from the Inter­net Explorer His­tory as they can con­tain virus and they can send some con­fi­den­tial data to Inter­net.
4.Antivirus Instal­la­tion: Once the ini­tial setup of the com­puter is com­plete, after log­ging in install a antivirus soft­ware imme­di­ately and keep it updated. It is very impor­tant to have a antivirus pro­tec­tion because we browse the inter­net which is full of viruses. Antivirus can help us from the Virus attacks. If you need to down­load some file then scan it with the antivirus pro­gram before sav­ing.
5. Inter­net . While brows­ing the inter­net do not open the mali­cious links because theu can have virus and spy­ware in them. Never install a pro­gram directly from web. Try to get some anti­spy­ware pro­gram instlled on the com­puter.
6. Dont Share Pass­words: Never share the con­fi­den­tial infor­ma­tion with any­body, and spe­cially on inter­net. While choos­ing your pass­words be care­full and choose pass­words that con­tains the spe­cial char­ac­ters and are easy to remem­ber but hard to break.
