General
Tips for Windows users |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
Internet Security
recommendations |
|
| |
|
Please ensure you have
the following 3 forms of protection: |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
1. |
Anti-virus software
(free
here) |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
2. |
a
Firewall, including Port and Application protection
|
|
| |
|
(DO
NOT rely on the free Windows Firewall to fully
protect you |
|
| |
|
as
this only provides port protection and a little more) |
|
| |
|
*Firewall test HERE |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
3. |
Anti-spyware
software (free
here) (free
here) (free here) |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
NB: Any Software
package that does three or four jobs, i.e. |
|
| |
|
Anti-virus, Firewall and Anti-Spyware, Spam
filter etc etc etc |
|
| |
|
MAY make your computer
slower, |
|
| |
|
below are some examples: |
|
| |
|
Mcafee Internet Security |
|
| |
|
Norton Anti-Virus/ Internet Security/System
Security/Works |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
(Separate
Anti-virus, Firewall and Anti-Spyware are |
|
| |
|
usually
more robust, |
|
| |
|
because
if one program fails the other two usually still |
|
| |
|
run
whereas with norton/mcafee, one failing module can |
|
| |
|
cause
the whole security system to fail, norton/mcafee also |
|
| |
|
over-ride
the MS Windows protection once installed. |
|
| |
|
So
if norton / mcafee fails on your PC, |
|
| |
|
you could end up having no protection at all). Be Aware! |

Flat

|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
ALWAYS
set your Screen to Power off, |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
your
LCD screen has components that WILL wear out, |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
Please
Don't use an animated or picture screen-saver, |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
as
that will make you need a replacement more quickly. |

Laptop
/ Notebook Users: |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
Your
Laptop / Notebook Battery has a Limited Life, |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
If
your system will run without the Battery installed, |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
remove
the Battery & just use the Mains Power/Charger Unit, |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
or
if not, charge your battery to Full then unplug the Charger; |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
Never
leave the Laptop / Notebook plugged into the Charger |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
all
the time with the battery installed, only when Charging |
|
| |
|
|

the

|
| |
|
(the
message in xp says you can only do a System Hard Disk check |
|

|
when
Windows is not full running, because it needs exclusive |
|
| |
|
access
to the Hard Disk been checked and will run on next restart) |

|
| |
|
average
checking times for a 20Gb Hard Disk: 15 - 80 mins) |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
Once
the Hard Disk check has finished the computer may: |
|
| |
|
a)
Re-boot / re-start then load Windows |
|
| |
|
b)
immediately load Windows |
|
| |
|
Both
these are normal, any errors should have been repaired, |
|
| |
|
unless
serious errors have occurred on your Hard Disk Drive, |
|
| |
|
in
that case, back-up your personal data (photos, favorites, etc), |
|
| |
|
to
CD / DVD or Removable Storage Device and have the |
|
| |
|
Hard
Disk Drive replaced by qualified service personnel as soon |

as
possible. ;0) |

Defrag
- Defragmenting your Hard Disk |
|
| |
|
(NB:
SSD / Memory based storage does not need
Defraging) |
|
| |
|
(use
this Method a minimum of once per week |
|
| |
|
or
straight after installing / uninstalling software) |
|
| |
|
Only
use Defrag AFTER error checking
your Hard Disk |
|
| |
|
(Thorough
Check) (Method as above) |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
Hard
Disk information is stored randomly, a program like |
|
| |
|
MS
Word may be a 1000 individual storage units randomly |
|
| |
|
placed on the Hard disk, defragmentation moves the stored |
|
| |
|
information
into a more quickly accessed format, |
|
| |
|
all
1000 storage blocks in a 'line' instead of randomly allocated. |
|
| |
|
Defragmentation
can speed up file access and therefore |
|
| |
|
speed
up your computer. |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
(Recommendation:
|
|
| |
|
Run
Defrag overnight or when you're not using your computer, |
|
| |
|
close
ALL other programs and unplug your internet connection). |
