COMPUTER MAITENANCE AND REPAIR

Looks like we have a lot of reasons to maintain and repair our computers! This is NOT how to fix your computer! We have all been there, even me! Trust me, it just makes it worse! So what are the enemies of your computer? You Heat Dust Viruses Malware So, time for some Geek Terms! You The end user of your computer! The person that will click on just about anything on the Internet because it is there! Heat External case temperature should always be below 27*C (80*F), with the best temperatures around 18*C (65*F). Dust Consists of particles in the atmosphere that come from various sources such as soil dust lifted by weather, volcanic eruptions, and pollution. Dust in homes, offices, and other human environments contains small amounts of plant pollen, human and animal hairs, textile fibers, paper fibers, minerals from outdoor soil, human skin cells, burnt meteorite particles and many other materials which may be found in the local environment. Computer Viruses A computer virus is a computer program that can replicate itself and spread from one computer to another. The term "virus" is also commonly, but erroneously, used to refer to other types of malware, including but not limited to adware and spyware programs that do not have a reproductive ability. Viruses are generally meant to DAMAGE your computer! Malware Computer worms, ransomware, trojan horses, key loggers, most rootkits, spyware, dishonest adware, malicious BHOs(Browser Helper Objects) and other malicious software. The majority of active malware threats are usually trojans or worms rather than viruses. Malware is meant to get your information, hold you hostage, spy on you and generally annoy you! So how do we fix these problems? We'll take each one on its own! You! Information! Information! Information! You are not infected until you click on the add that says you are INFECTED! Which brings me to the first of four programs that I use to keep all of my computers running in tip top shape! Ccleaner Ccleaner is free! They have a paid version
