Computer tips:

current window open.
Great for
great for unwanted pop-ups
2:
Alt-F5 - Refreshes current window
3.
and D - Shows desktop
You don't need the http:// portion of a web
page
When typing an Internet address you do not need to
type http:// or even www. in the address. For example, if you wanted
to visit All In One Computer you could just type
allinonecomputer.com and press enter. To make things even quicker,
if you're visiting a .com address you can type allinonecomputer and
then press Ctrl + Enter to type out the full http://www.allinonecomputer.com
address.
Where should I go to remove a
program from my computer?
The right way to remove a program is to go to the control panel and
choose the appropriate icon. If you do not remove un-wanted software
like this, junk files will be left behind and can cause problems on
your computer.
What is the best way to shut down a computer?
You need to go to the start menu to shut down your computer. This
will give the computer a chance to pack everything away. If you
press the start button in for 5 seconds, the computer rushes to pack
everything away in 5 seconds. Its like leaving the house in a hurry.
You usually forget something.

Testing
Ubuntu - Linux....(IT'S
FREE) We love this operating system so far.
Fast little hang ups, not so great for downloaded email,
working on solutions for that.
Testing for 3 months
Testing
Google Chrome browser
(1 year now) -This
is by far the best browser we have used. FAST uses
little resources and is safe.
Open Office (like
Microsoft Office only its free).
This
is a good substitute for your word processing, graphics,
spreadsheet etc. and it is free...Only thing so
far is it is very boggy.Testing for 1 year now.
Think you have malware? #1 thing to do,
run malware program, and ccleaner. (can't run those call
a tech) #2 With popups, do not click on them
or closes them with the X. (Alt-f4 and call tech)
#3 Do not run your computer, turn it off and call a
tech.
Close Popups without
clicking the X
- This eliminates the
adware from downloading to your computer.

difference between Spyware, Malware and Virus

Your daily maintenance for Cleaning your computer system
for faster and better performance. |
|
Now recommending
ccleaner
very quick and removes all temporary files and cleans
out recycle bin and invalid registry keys. |
|
We have been testing a new Malware
program, this one is FREE
Malwarebyte
we will keep you posted. Latest ran on machine
with only 128 m memory. Removed all the malware.
This program has proven itself. No longer hangs on
any of the computers we use it on. |
SpyDoctor by PCTools
- you have to
pay for this thou ($39.00) Free to scan your
computer but free version does not delete or quarantine
files. Removes up to 85% of spyware and malware.
With immunization on systems are very slow.
There is a free version but
you must download the Google Pack. Free version
works the same except you have no real time protection.
|
|
Antivirus programs |
The Best so far
Avast and its FREE,
uses very little resources, catches all virus and some
malware. Been testing for a year now. We
have it on all our home computers.
Now testing
Kaspersky
Free online scanner, full version you have to pay
for. |
|
McAfee -
Starting to slow down (this program is catching up to
Norton as far as speed goes, catches all virus to date.
Catches some spyware but I would not rely on it.
The suite is horrible, it takes over your machine.
|
|
Norton
removes most all virus's but is incredible slow, it's
spam and spyware protection does not work very well at
all. Uses way to much resources on your machine.
The suite does not work well either, however, some of
the features with System Works are by far the best tools
on the market.
Heard the new version is slim and fast...Will be testing
soon. |
|
Free Version of Spyware Doctor Antivirus
Does the job well, however, if you do not have your
machine on at all time or when you schedule scans or
updates it hangs and throws errors.. Software is a
memory hog. |
