RSSBest PC Care Tip
The best way to improve the efficiency and ensure smooth operation of your personal computer is by taking care of your computer. You can prolong the life of your computer by following a few care and maintenance tips. Here are they.
• Never turn off your computer with the power switch unless the Windows has properly shut down.
• Keep your computer in a cool place, away from a heat source. This is to ensure that air flowing from the cooling fan of the CPU is not blocked. Install an air-conditioner in the room where your system is kept. It is very important to run your computer in a safe temperature range.
• Keep your computer away from liquid. When you are working on your system, you should keep your coffee mug away from your desk since accidental spill of liquid may damage the internal components of your computer. If the liquid spills by chance on any of the components of your PC, drain out the liquid immediately.
• It is highly recommended that you purchase a UPS for your computer. This is to avoid system crashes during power outage.
That was the general overview. Now, let us focus on some more maintenance ‘formulae’ to keep your computer running smoothly.
• Keep a back up system for your computer. Take back up files of the important documents which you can’t afford to loose in CDs and floppy disks.
• You should carry the Defragmentation process or run the Scandisk once a month. These helps in freeing up unused memory clusters, and proper storage arrangement of all your data.
• “Organize” is the key word. You should save all your documents, software, videos, music and other data in an organized manner. Categorize the files and put them into different folders. This reduces unnecessary cluttering of the hard disk.
• “Remove” is another key word. Steer clear all the unnecessary stuff from your computer. Let it be software, games, files that you don’t need any more, uninstall all of them from your computer.
• Last but not the least; protect your computer by installing a credible Anti-Virus programme.
Malicious viruses are affecting the web sites at a greater pace. According to the latest reports, a US based IT security company has discovered that in every five seconds, a web site is infected by virus. During the last year, the infection record was at the rate of 14 seconds per web site.
Connecting people across the world has become easier. We are talking about Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), a protocol optimized for the transmission of voice through the Internet or other packet switched networks. VoIP is often used abstractly to refer to the actual transmission of voice (rather than the protocol implementing it).
Do you store your confidential information and documents regarding business deals, negotiations with clients and your other personal information on your PC or laptop? The unanimous answer will be YES. Since there is so much of information stored on your computer, it is susceptible to extraction of data by anybody who has physical access to it, unless and until your computer is properly secured. The official information, say your client database, can be stolen by the competitors of your organization; naughty hackers can read your personal identity, medical records etc.
I am an avid Internet user and I spend almost 40-50 hours a week on the Internet. What this has done is reduced my regular hours of exercising as a result I am giving time to my body and putting it through a lot of strain. I have tried using various at-home-exercising devices but I am generally left too tired to exercise each day, especially when I have an option of connecting through the net. I realized I had developed this dependency on the Internet, but I could not do anything about it, especially because my body was at a loss.
