Check out Personal Computer Solutions Blog at: http://personalcomputersolutions.blogspot.com .................................................................................................................................................. HAVE YOU FLUSHED YOUR COMPUTER LATELY? Surfing the web and noticing that your computer is running slow? Did you know that every time you “surf the net” your computer keeps all the pictures you see on websites? These files are called Temporary Internet Files or Cached Files. The main reason this occurs is so that each time the user (you) visit the website only the changed bits need to be downloaded from the internet. In the days of dial up internet this was a great idea, but now we have fast speed internet, it is not necessary. The more Temporary Internet Files you have on your computer, the slower it runs. Microsoft Windows have a disk clean up program. [Go to Start, All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, Disk Clean Up] however, it doesn’t do all that effective job. There are also many alternative tools that exist to erase the data; one of my favorites is a free program downloadable from www.stevengould.org called Disk Cleanup. This is a simple program to run and does as excellent job of removing all the unnecessary temporary files from your computer. You may be surprised at how many files are deleted!

Spyware – What is IT?? Spyware is computer software that is installed secretly on a personal computer to intercept or take partial control over the user's interaction with the computer, without the user's permission. While the term spyware suggests software that secretly monitors the user's behavior, the functions of spyware extend well beyond simple monitoring. Spyware programs can collect various types of personal information, such as Internet surfing habit, sites that have been visited, but can also interfere with user control of the computer in other ways, such as installing additional software, redirecting Web browser activity, accessing websites blindly that will cause more harmful viruses, or diverting advertising revenue to a third party. Spyware can even change computer settings, resulting in slow connection speeds, different home pages, and loss of Internet or other programs. There are a large number of free spyware removing tools; all have their pros and cons. I have listed the main 3 used by our technicians. All of them can be downloaded for free for home use: Super Anti Spyware - http://www.superantispyware.com/ Spybot - http://www.safer-networking.org Ad Aware - http://lavasoft.com/ It is important to remember that Spyware are not Viruses. So, even though virus scans are getting better at it, they will not always find the spyware on your computer. Thanks to www.wikipedia.org for the definitions.

Doctor! Does your computer have a Virus? A simple explanation of a computer virus is a program that can copy itself and infect a computer without permission or knowledge of the user. This program can be spread a number of different ways, including through emails, via downloads, through the internet, through instant messaging and file sharing or by carrying it on removable mediums such as CD’s, Floppy Disks and USB Drives. Viruses can spread to other computers by in |
