Always remember to backup any changes you make to your computer.

Use the scientific method..back it up before you make the change and then once the change is made you can undo it if you find that you are having problems with your computer once the change has been made.

 

 

   
Question 1: How Do I Protect My Computer Online? Two answers--really. Get a browser that fewer hackers like to take advantage and I always like to have the latest greatest software when I am trying to combat the 'bad guys". Why because, simply this, the longer a program is around the more time there has been to figure out ways around its protection. So I find myself regularly using new online protection software.
Here is the latest from a reputable vendor:  
Broadband Essentials by RealNetworks
 
Question 2: How do I clean my infected computer? I have used many 'cleaner' programs. The best, and easiest to use, that I have found is one from Panda Anti-virus. They always seem to have the most recent virus solution readily available.
Here is a link to one of their most recent solutions. If you don't have this problem don't worry just scan your computer anyhow. Their software will tell you what is wrong.   Panda Antivirus: Award-winning virus protection   Panda Antivirus: Award-winning virus protection Online Virus Check
   

Question 3: How do I print nice labels? I have found that I rarely need to print labelss on my computer. So when I do I choose to use a lower cost option than buying a complete label making package.

 
       

The folks at NEATO have an online soution for this need.

 

 

Of course, if you want to own a copy of your own labeling program. Try this one:

 

   
 
Question 4: How do I buy a computer? Aside from taking out the credit card and signing..you are going to need to select the components and features that satisfy your particular needs. I recall having a conversation with one of my close friends. He is a computer programmer and he told me about his newest computer which was such and such. I said WOW, I just got this new computer and it sounds like it is much smaller and faster than that. He reminded me that our needs are different and that our two computers were different to satisfy those needs.
If you are not sure what you need, want, or what is available and what those choices mean to you then have a look at this book. It should help in your computer buying efforts.   Computer Buying Guide

Question 5: How do I get my website listed on the internet? Well I wish that I were an expert on this one. There are plenty of services and ideas on how this is done effectively. I have found one that may be helpful to you. To explain in brief. You need to make your website searchable and indexable by the automated 'robots' that each search engine (i.e. Google, Yahoo, MSN, etc) sends out to the web to search individual sites. This includes properly selecting keywords, 'meta-tags' and content to ensure that your site remains fresh and interesting. Think of it this way a search engine is in the business of keeping themselves in business if they constantly provide old and 'boring' websites for their customers then their site will be used less and they will lose market-share. In the internet business marketshare is what brings in advertising revenue, the primary source of revenue for engines.  
If you are going to get your site up and running, you may just want to go ahead and save some cash in the process. These guys seem to have a nice SEO (search engine optimization) approach as well.   3 mo. Half-off Gold & Platinum      
Keep it fresh and get it right and you will succeed use a search engine optmization service to save yourself time.        
Google Ads For FREE, yeah that's right. You know you have to advertise on a search engine. You know that the pay-per-click programs work. What you don't know is how you are going to pay for those clicks. Well it seems that the answer is you are not going to pay. How is that?        
Consider the USENET..a different kind of easy access to the 'web' of information. Up and coming information downloading.   Usenet Binaries: Anonymous downloads at DSL Speed  
   
Question 6: How do I get rid of spyware? Let's face it, if you are browsing the internet you are going to have to deal with this problem. Some companies have nothing better to do with their time than spy on you. Of course, it is all in the name of providing you a better internet experience.  
Use an Anti-Spyware tool like this one.   Spyware Removal Program  
Here is another one to try, also newer to the market:    
   
Question 7: My computer is slowing down. How do I get it to speed up again? This is a problem of your computer's registry. Every time you install or un-install a program your registry ( a file in your computer that tells your computer what is there and not) is modified. Unfortunately, it is not always the case that the registry stays intact or as the geeks would say it 'uncorrupted'. Rather it is often corrupted and needs cleaning to enable your computer to quickly determine what and where a program is located on your computer. Cleaning the registry is essential to optimal computer performance and should be a regular part of computer maintainance.  
Try this registry cleaning software it will help.   Click Here!  
       
Question 8: My computer is boring. What cool new stuff is on the web? This is a common problem, there is so much on the web and so little of it is really all that interesting. If you are bored try an online reality show. Just a thought. That way you can stay next to your computer and get some good old TV like programming time in at the same time.  

I will do my best to keep this link as interesting as possible.
