Keep Your Computer Virus Free

A computer can and will wreck havoc on your files, email, Internet, etc. Unless you have a very clever backup solution and a method of disinfecting all infected files, you have most likely lost all of the data saved on your computer. It is a very unfortunate thing to deal with. Here are three tips to never deal with a virus:
1. Get anti-virus software. There are various free options that are great, but try to spring for a paid version. These will automatically protect your email, scan all downloads, etc.

2. Avoid websites that have viruses. You may know some of these: illegal download pages, spammy emails, spammy links, etc.

3. Avoid downloading things that are not hosted on a reputable website. If it looks fishy, do not risk it. It is not worth it.

How To Avoid Your Computer Running Slowly

We all know the experience. You buy a brand new desktop or laptop computer and within a few weeks it begins to run a little slower. Nothing major, it just takes an extra four or five seconds to load a program.
