When using your computer on the internet is it always at risk to get virus. Here are some basic daily and weekly tip to keep everything running smoothly.

If you are on the internet a lot, opening various file, our computor store these files as a temporary files. They also store cookies. Some people like having the cookies because they cause your computer to remember websites, user names and passwords. As we get more and more of these files our computers start to slow down.
If you delete these files daily, the speed on your computer will remain as fast as possible.

To delete your cookies you must have your internet explorer browser open and click on tools in the top of your browser, then click on internet options. This opens up a screen with delete cookies on it. Hold your shift key down, click delete cookies, a little pop up shows up and Says Delete all cookie in Internet temporary files, Click OK while still holding down your shift key.

Then got to your start menu and click start, programs, click on accessories. Under accessories click Systen Tools and then Disk Clean up. This will scan your computor and show you how much space is being used by pages that you have visited. Check all the boxes(If leary just check temporary files) and click OK. A screen will come up that asks if you are sure you want to perform these actions? Click Yes, if you have a large amount it may take a few minutes, normally done in under 1 minute.

Every 2 weeks or so you should do a disk defragment. What this does it compacts your files and fills in missed spaces. This takes some time to do depending on how often you do it and how much you have on your hard drive. Again click on accessories under programs and click on system tools, then on Disk defragmenter. You can analyze first
or you can just click Defragment. This can take anywhere from 2 hours to a lot longer. You can set it up to defrag when you are going to bed and your computer will in top running order and ready for you to start your work. If you chose to analyze your computor you will still need to click on defragmenter.

You should also do a visis scan regulary, at least once a week. If you have a spyware program this shold be done once every day or two, no longer.

If you keep your computor maintenance done this will keep your down time to a minimum.
