Optimize Your Computer For Peak Performance

by: Lanard Perry

Is your computer running slower than ever? Does it crash a lot?

If so it might be because advertisers have loaded it up with Spy and Adaware without your knowledge.

"Spyware" is a common term for files that are installed on your system that allow companies to monitor your Internet activity.

"Adaware" is software that will show you pop up ads over and over. These files can be extremely dangerous to your PC and could cause major problems.

They track the websites you visit, items that you buy online, the emails you send and your Instant Message dialogues. In a worst case scenario they can even record your credit card number, personal identification numbers, and all of your passwords.

I know all of this because I learned the hard way. Fortunately, I never had any personal data stolen, at least that I?m aware of. But every now and then, when least expected, my computer would crash, sometimes resulting in days of lost activity and income.

It seems like I spent a small fortune fixing one problem after another. I bought expensive software programs that actually made my problems worse, then another hard drive that I really didn't need.

Ultimately I had to take my computer to 2 different techs to work out all the bugs. If only I knew then what I know now.

After months of frustration and too many hundreds of dollars I care to admit to I finally learned what it takes to keep my computer healthy and functioning properly.

Below is what I learned and a recommendation that can help you avoid what I went through.

1. Get a spyware removal program. You've heard it before, but have you done it? This helps as your 1st line of defense against hackers and viruses.

2. Avoid opening email attachments from people you don't know. When in doubt, don't do it. Granted, this isn't so easy to do when you're in the people business, but I still encourage you to manage it as best you can. This alone eliminated a lot of my problems.

3. Scan for viruses and clean your registry at every opportunity. I spend a lot of time on the Internet working on my website marketing products, sending and receiving email and the like.

Consequently, my computer is vulnerable to attack from a lot of different ways. So, I scan it for viruses and clean my registry daily; sometimes several times a day depending on how long I've been on it.

If you don't have a good spyware program you should get one. It'll help you optimize your computer's performance, and get it in tip top condition in no time.

Here are the benefits.

They'll let you:

know if you have any files that are infecting your PC

help protect your computer and eliminate trojans, worms, dialers, browser hijackers, etc., and

help you avoid serious problems before they happen

You'll be amazed at how much speed and problem free use you can regain from the use of your computer after you install a good spyware program.

If you don't have one I strongly recommend Spyware Nuker. It's relatively inexpensive and is money well spent to safeguard your computer and personal and professional information stored on it.

You even get to try if for free before you buy it and I believe it comes with a 90 day satisfaction or money back guarantee.

Happy listings and please feel free to call me if I can be of assistance.

Computer Performance Tips

Computer Performance Tips

by: David Mahler

Introduction

In this article I will clearly spell out the most effective steps you can take in order to increase the performance of your computer and enhance your computing experience.

More Memory (RAM)

If your computer has less then 256 MB of memory you may want to consider adding more. If you don?t know how much memory you have: right click my computer, go to properties and look towards the bottom of the dialog box.

Memory is where the computer stores open files or programs in order to give the processor quick access.
To put it simply more memory means more speed and stability.
You can buy memory online or visit your local Best Buy where they can install it for you if you don?t feel comfortable doing it yourself.

Where Did I Save That Document? Organizing Your Computer Files

by: Laura Stack, MBA, CSP

What happened to the paperless office? We generate more paper now than we

ever did

before the advent of the computer! A computer's hard drive can get just as

cluttered as

any other part of the office. With seemingly limitless storage capacity,

it's easy to create

piles of files on your computer. This section will help you file your

documents more

logically and find them more easily.

1. Use directories and subdirectories. The first step in creating your

electronic filing

system is to create the structure. Let's say you had a filing cabinet where

you stored

your paper files. If every folder were labeled "My Documents," you wouldn't

find

anything. Microsoft automatically sets up a folder titled "My Documents,"

where you

can save your documents. If you save EVERYTHING under this directory, you

will

Create a Great Computer Work Station in a Small Space

Create a Great Computer Work Station in a Small Space

by: Aldene Fredenburg

Don't have a separate room you can designate as a home office? You can create a comfortable and functional computer work station in remarkably little space. A corner of your living room or bedroom, even a spare closet, can provide plenty of room.

First measure out the amount of space you can allocate for your work station. Then, start to plan. You need a surface for your computer monitor or laptop, and room underneath for your hard drive. If you have a printer and/or a scanner, this also needs a work surface, ideally with storage space underneath for printer paper and other supplies. You may also want space for an additional external backup hard drive. Measure all your equipment and furnishings and play with a floor plan.

If you can find a ready-made work station that fits into your space, great. If not, make one. A 24- to 30-inch core door thrown over a couple...

All In One Printers ? Home Office Workhorses

by: Bill Smith

All in one printers, also known as multifunction printers (MFPs), are printers that also can copy, scan, and in some cases, fax. These machines perform all of these functions, generally using a single set of ink cartridges for both printing and copying. They are not much larger than stand-alone printers, making them a great tool for small home offices.

You can find an excellent all-on-one Epson printer for under $200 ? a steal if you ask me. Have you ever priced a copying machine? Good luck finding one for under $750. These little gems produce high quality printouts and color copies that are indistinguishable from the originals. You?d think that these machines would ?drink? ink ? I was pleasantly surprised to find that this is not the case. The copying process uses about the same quantity of ink as the printing process.

Most MFPs offer high resolution, photo-quality printouts without...

Choosing the Best Printers

Choosing the Best Printers

by: Karen Nodalo

If you are settling for color printing or be it black and white, you should take all considerations in choosing and purchasing your printers. But choosing a printer is really a hard task. Imagine you have to choose from a hundred types of printers that could work the best way for you. Not to mention the most common printers like HP, Canon, IBM, EPSON, Xerox and more.

In choosing your printers, there are a lot of pointers to consider. Pointers you need to follow so that you can never go wrong. The first things come first. The number of prints is very important. Decide and estimate how many prints you are targeting say for a month. Printer?s printing capacity is important because not all printers can print a bunch of pages in a day. Buy a printer that is built to last a tough printing job.

The printing speed is also essential. After deciding the duration of the deadline, here comes the printing...

Are Color Laserjet Printers Worth The Money?

by: Stuart Simpson

The next printer you?ll want on your desk is a color laser printer.
Forget those cheap outdated inkjet printers.
They are cheap for one reason, to get you to buy ink.
I?m not making that up.
It came right from an executive of a leading inkjet printer manufacturer.

Do you have a black and white laser printer?
These gems are the best for the home office.
Cheap, guilt free printing with high quality usually reserved for a large office.
The price is right on the home models.
You can almost buy one for the cost of a black and a color ink cartridge.

But let?s talk about color laser jet printers.
A color laser jet works just like a black printer except it has 4 toner cartridges.
Each one has its own life.
The base printers I was looking at had a recommended monthly volume of...
