Update your antivirus
The
internet is the easiest platform where a virus can find its way into
your system. Other ways a virus can infect your system are via an
infected flash drive or hard drive. The only way to counter this is by
ensuring that you have an up-to-date virus which will protect your
system from malware and unmonitored websites. Without a reliable
antivirus, your system will be contaminated and sooner or later it will
crash.
Have a backup
Your
data is your priced possession and protecting it should be your
priority. But if inadvertently, something happens to your system and you
are unable to recover your data, it automatically means that you will
lose your information. These days, it is not necessary to use a hard
disk as you can use cloud services like Google Drive, OneNote and
DropBox among others.However, if you are a little old fashioned, you can
go the old way by burning your data on a disk.
Dedicate time for a holistic system cleanup
For
nearly 24 hours a day and 7days a week, your computer is almost
constantly at work and such it can become slow and heavy with irrelevant
documents. Why not take time out to purge your system of these
documents every month. You can also take the opportunity to arrange your
files for easy access.
