About the AutoArchive feature in Microsoft Outlook

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 02 Oct 2010 10:05:00 +0000

If you have been using Microsoft Outlook for some time now, it is possible that you have saved many email messages, tasks - past and present, past appointments, contacts and so on in the PST file used by Outlook. Not archiving older messages and simply storing them in folders in the main PST file can not only cause problems with space but also lead to corruption in the PST file. We will look at how the AutoArchive feature in Outlook can help resolve this problem.

As you continue to use Microsoft Outlook and store various items such as email messages, contacts, appointments, tasks, notes, etc., the PST file used to store the data continues to grow. In order to manage the available space, you will have to regularly delete unwanted messages and other Outlook items as well as archive all the older messages and items that you would like stored. Since you might not always remember to archive the items on a regular basis, it is best to use the AutoArchive feature in Outlook to move all older messages and items to another PST file. The archived mails and messages can also be used to quickly carry out a PST recovery if there is limited damage or corruption in the main PST file.

You have to bear in mind though that if you are using the Personal Folder files or PST files to archive mails typically stored in the mailbox of an Exchange Server, your organization might have policies in place that limit the time up to which you can store your messages. These policies always take precedence and your AutoArchive feature might not work as you intended it to. In fact, in many organizations employees are not able to use the AutoArchive from their Outlook profiles and thus not able to archive their messages or other Outlook items.

On the other hand, if you are working with other email accounts and not from an Exchange Server, the AutoArchive feature can help you manage your space and provide you with an excellent way to back up the Outlook items. This can be of tremendous use when you need to carry out a PST recovery.

Some important points that you need to bear in mind about the AutoArchive feature:
By specifying the time period by when items have to be archived, you can be sure that all the older Outlook items such as email messages, tasks, appointments, etc. will be automatically moved to another location where they will stored until you decide to permanently delete them. In fact, you can set options for when the items have to be deleted.

You should also be aware that different types of Outlook items such as email messages, tasks, appointments, etc. have different default periods beyond which they are moved to the archive location. If you would like shorter or longer periods for archiving these items, you will have to make changes in the settings manually. For example, you might want to have shorter periods to archive email messages and longer for appointments or tasks.

The archive PST file can be used to carry out a PST recovery in case the main file ever gets damaged but at times, this file may not contain the most recent changes in the PST file. If you are afraid of losing data permanently from the PST file, you should use sophisticated tools to restore data from corrupt or damaged files, including archives

Microsoft open source

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 18 Sep 2010 16:07:00 +0000

Microsoft loves open source for the same reason IBM loves it, for what it can do for Microsoft.
Microsoft has used its patents, just as IBM did, to bully its way into the space, it has created open source licenses the suit its needs, and it can use open source as a glue to hold customers to its products with their cash flow. It can now afford to be magnanimous.

Once more we have to explain to our fellow typists the difference between open source and FOSS. Open source is a practical means for doing business. FOSS is an ideal.

Open source does not mean you wear a hair shirt and abjure filthy lucre — just the opposite. (As if FOSS ever did. There are far more long-haired rednecks out there with Bush-Cheney 2004 stickers on their trucks than hippies. This is 2010.)

Of course just because Microsoft loves open source that doesn't mean it does what the open source movement wants it to do as opposed to what Microsoft wants to do. Microsoft loves open source because it has found a way to twist it in the direction of its own self-interest.

It is also in Microsoft's self-interest to appear benign toward open source right now. Oracle has gleefully taken up the mantle of open source villain, and Microsoft's new public stance may help it take some business away from its rival.

Mobile Banking

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 16 Sep 2010 09:49:00 +0000

There are things we can today do on our mobile that one wouldn't have even imagined a decade ago! Some of such innovations have been immensely useful while others have turned out to be unnecessary propositions with no real use. One such feature that I feel fits into the latter category is Mobile Banking! Banks have somehow themselves been confused and unclear about whether they wish to actually market it aggressively or not - as a result, we see many half hearted attempts where some of them advertise it full on for a few weeks, and then have completely forgotten about it!

So lets start by what Mobile Banking really is. I have been using Mobile Banking for almost two years now. To put it simply, the bank offers you an application that you can download from their site and install on your mobile phone (if it is supported). Next, you choose a user id and password and link your mobile with your bank account - sometimes you would need it to be done by your bank, at others it can be as simple as activating it at one of their ATMs. Once done, the app basically provides you access to your bank account's basic features. In general, you would be able to get your bank balance, a mini statement of last few transactions, etc. Though this might sound exciting, I always wonder what great use is this anyway to check your bank balance on your mobile phone??

Anyhow, a better (supposedly) feature that actually could be of good use is the option to pay bills through your mobile for supported operators. This could include bills for your landline, mobile, dish tv, etc. Yes, this feature actually worked for me, but it has its own problems. Those of us using Internet banking already have this convenience of paying our bills online - what is best is that it gets credited to your account instantly. Now again the same question - so why with the mobile phone. A few months back, I paid my phone bile through the mobile banking app - maybe just for the sake of it! And whoa! What I found was that my next month's bill showed up an added late payment fees for the previous month for Rs75 as the bill I paid through my mobile had taken more than a week to credit to my account:( I had to then run after the customer care and have that late fees waved off after trying to explain to them the whole rigmarole!!

What this brings us to is that - Mobile Banking was a technology that sounded promising on the very onset. But I seriously doubt its relevance today. The basic question as we have seen remains - when it's all so easily accessible through your internet, why do you anyway want to do it on the tiny screen of your mobile? How often does it happen that one forgets to pay his bill, is in the middle of a journey and so YES - he makes true use of mobile banking. Or probably another argument regarding not all people having a computer or internet access - well, how many of such people would you actually expect to be so tech friendly so as to use mobile banking on their mobiles?

Setting PC Network

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 13 Sep 2010 07:41:00 +0000

Securing the computer in your home is a task that requires your full and serious attention.
They take a lot of your time and there are steps that need to be done. The following are some of the tips and advice you could do to be able to secure your very own personal computer.

Anti-virus programs is a must

Imagine it this way, would you allow someone to knock at your door and enter your own living space in order to make you buy something or use your own telephone?

If they were neat and presentable enough you could probably let them inside your own home, but just like anyone else, you definitely would be watching their every move.

Observe just what it is you have done. You have already profiled that person and based on the profile you have come up with, have also decided what you will do.

This is because you are very much cautious and concerned on just who enters your own space.

Basically, this is how anti-virus programs work.

These programs scan all contents of every file, looking for patterns that are specific and one that would match a particular profile. This is basically termed as virus signature – or something that is notoriously harmful to your computer.

Every file that has a signature match, the program provides options on just how it is it should respond. One such response is by removing the patterns that are offensive or one that destroys the file.

A virus basically works this way. They are like salesmen who knock in your own living space and they would get you to buy or listen to their sales pitch. However, they could try to pilfer your money or valuables.

One way to know if a particular scammer is prowling in your neighborhood is probably by reading about them in the news or seeing them in a tv news report. These reports could give you an idea of what these scammers look like or what are the things to be wary and watch out for.

Anti-virus software programs basically work similarly. When the vendors know of a new potentially threatening virus, they have a set of updated signature viruses that could include the new virus threat.

Scan and check, check and scan

Other ways and means for viruses to enter your personal computer is via floppy disks, web sites, email, CD-ROM as well as downloaded files.

As much as possible, all these avenues must be checked if they contain viruses or not.

For instance, prior to using a particular floppy disk, it must first be checked for any viruses.

Also, when downloading a specific file from the net, these must be checked for any viruses. Your own anti-virus software program usually allows you to specify and check these places for any viruses. They may also do this scan automatically.

Patch it now, patch it good

The instance your computer’s system breaks down, do you have an idea on how you should restore its functions?

Many vendors have patches whose purpose is to fix any types of bugs. Usually, vendors offer patches that are free in their own web sites. When purchasing programs, it is a great idea if you ask the vendor how they supply patches.

Software vendor programs also have a service that allows you to a recall. Notices for patches could be received via e-mail through mailing list subscription. Through this service, one can easily learn computer problems even if you have yet to discover them and before any intruders could have the opportunity to exploit your computer’s system.

Be cautious when reading attachments via e-mail
Always be careful when opening received e-mails that carry attachments. Sometimes, the potentially threatening messages could come from unsolicited e-mails.

To be able to determine if an email is safe or not, it would be best to conduct the following test and ask these questions: Was the email sent by someone you know? Did you receive this e-mail before? Is the subject of the email described in a clear manner?

PC a Combating Viruses

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 13 Sep 2010 07:30:00 +0000

Two simple precautions can help keep your computer virus free - install and use software from reliable vendors and avoid opening unexpected e-mail attachments.
Almost all e-mail attachments are potential virus carriers. Some of the most famous viruses were distributed by accessing address books of infected computers and sending e-mail (with attachments) to everyone in the address book.

Even those from known senders should be regarded with suspicion - e-mail addresses can easily be faked to appear to be from someone you know.

The 'Melissa' virus that appeared in 1999, originally posted on an Internet newsgroup, was distributed in a Microsoft Word document. When downloaded and opened the virus accessed the user's address book and sent copies of the document (along with the virus) to the first 50 people in the user's address book.

Every computer that received the virus sent out an additional 50 copies, creating a worldwide slowdown in Internet networks. The effect took only a few hours.

What to do?

ANTIVIRUS SOFTWARE

Most antivirus software works by examining files as they arrive at the computer and by scanning later at configurable pre-set times. The programs work by examining each e-mail attachment and downloaded file looking for virus 'signatures'.

If a virus is found the user will be alerted and infected programs and attachments can be cleansed of the virus or, if not possible, infected files can be deleted or placed into 'quarantine' where they can't be run.

UPDATES

Whare are signatures? All programs have instructions in a pattern. Computer viruses - like their biological counterparts - come in known, though evolving, patterns. The fact of evolution is the reason virus-checking files need to be regularly updated. Updated files contain lists and the characteristics of new signatures.

Most antivirus software can be configured to alert you when the virus checking files are out of date, and even to automatically refresh signature files with the latest versions.

USER PARTICIPATION

Users can become complacent after installing antivirus software, thinking they're totally protected and don't need to worry about becoming infected.

Apart from the fact that antivirus software is written by humans, who can make errors, vendors can only react to viruses after they're created. By that time, much damage can already have been done. An e-mail attachment or program may be infected with a new type of virus that your software cannot (yet) detect.

Some antivirus software can - to a limited extent - detect virus activity even without being able to identify a particular virus. This is an extra level of protection against the latest viruses, but still shouldn't allow users to become overconfident.

Always use trusted sources for downloading software and treat every e-mail attachment with caution.

OTHER INFECTION ROUTES

Lastly, a special note about CDs and DVDs. While they can't be written to (those that can are called CD-R's, DVD-R/W or some variation), they can still contain viruses. Users who burn their own CDs or DVDs - inexpensive and easy these days - can accidentally copy infected programs onto the disc. Since CDs can contain files that automatically act when the disc is inserted, it's possible - though rare - for viruses to be spread without additional user action.

How to Find a New Job on The Internet

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sun, 05 Sep 2010 08:18:00 +0000

The Internet can be a wonderful resource when it comes to looking for a new job. There are many web sites that post job listings in just about every career field there is. These web sites also give you the ability to post your resume online. Many companies, both large and small, frequently use these sites to post their job openings.

Companies and recruiting agencies also use these sites to find possible job candidates by searching through online resumes.

One benefit of the various job search webs sites is that many of them allow you to post your resume on their site for free. It is the companies that search for resumes and list their job openings that usually pay a fee for an account. This makes it so that not just anyone can look at your resume online. Instead, only companies that have a paid account through these sites can view your resume.

It is very important that you do your research on the various job search web sites out there. Although you may be familiar with the more well-known job search web sites, like Monster.com and CareerBuilder.com, there are lots of job search web sites on the internet. Some cover every career field and job location you can think of, others specialize in a particular career field. There are some that post jobs based on geographical location or language, where others are geared toward college students. There are many options available to you and depending on the type of job you are searching for; some may be of more benefit to you than others.

Another reason you should do your research is because there are potential downsides to using the Internet when searching for a new job. Just as there are many reputable sites that can help you find a new job, there are also sites that are nothing but scams-with their main purpose being to obtain personal information about you, including your name, address and phone number, as well as your credit card information. So be careful, stick to sites that have been around a long time and you know you can trust.

Something else you need to take into consideration before posting your resume online is whether or not there is any risk to you and your job if your current employer happened to find your resume online. Depending on your situation, this could negatively impact your current job and make you a prime candidate for being dismissed. So, make sure to give this some thought, as there are instances when it's just not prudent to place your resume online.

Digital Micro-Imaging System

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 09:43:00 +0000

The scientific community needs to keep up with the high demand for cures in the medical field and in order to do so; they are looking towards the high-tech world of technology. Many of the advancements in medicine are due to the corporation of science and inventors who take something ordinary such as a camera and turn it into something extraordinary so that it can help millions of people. A digital micro-imaging system places a high-powered camera on top of a microscope so that a picture of something can be taken and studied at the same time.

This real time or same time photograph and microscope studying process works well for cancer patients, especially ones with skin cancer. This type of disease could be enlarged ten or more times by the camera and then even more by the microscope to see what type of cells are present in the lesion. This gives the lab technicians the instant data they need in order to report their findings to the doctor. It also reduces the need for painful biopsies on patients when photographs will do the same job.

Each of these cameras and microscope combinations comes with a unique and user-friendly software package. The software is easily downloaded onto the computer that will be using the equipment or nearest to the combo piece of machinery and then the computer is ready to take in the data from the camera. One of the main features about this camera and microscope combo is that it is great to use as a teaching tool.

When an image is snapped by the camera and then transferred to the microscope portion of the equipment, there is a computer program that helps in the analysis of what the lens and lab technician see. This photograph could also be send around to coworkers for a second opinion. There is also the technology which allows this camera and microscope combination to sent the recently photographed photos to a large screen in the room so that all present can see the same thing. This is helpful in a teaching situation.

There is a wide range of micro-scoping pictures available in many different brands. Depending on which brand a hospital or laboratory purchases, some of the cameras that can be mounted onto the microscopes offer a search process of upwards of 37 images per second with a resolution of 640 x 512 pixels, making it a very clear image. There are also several different applications besides the skin cancer that this type of duel lab equipment would work for. A urinalysis is another example of what a combination camera and microscope could help with. Looking for bacteria or blood cells in an individual's urine would be easier with the camera style microscope.

Some of the software for these unique technological machines will support a time-lapse movie which will show a short progression of a disease in real time. This will help a doctor in determining the best course of action to take for addressing the patient's disease and how to stop it from spreading or taking over the individual's body. By providing a chronological short film of what has happened in a person's body, the doctor could predict what might happen next and hopefully prevent it.

Another good feature about these microscope camera combos is that they lesson the margin for human error. When a camera is either recording or snapping photographs of a disease progression or cell mutation, then there is always a back up for the human eye. Some of the moving specimens can be photographed or filmed moving up to 15 frames per second. The human eye can not focus that quickly and still process what it sees.

External Hard Drives

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sun, 22 Aug 2010 06:50:00 +0000

An external hard drive is a very comfortable solution for all those seeking more space and secure digital data protection while being able to carry around their sensitive files wherever they go.

Firstly, since they're not built into computers, external hard drives always come at a lesser price than their integrated counterparts. And since they can take up as much space as they want, they usually come with higher capacities because these high capacities are not possible inside laptops or desktop computers. Capacities like 1 or 2 TB are common nowadays and these capacities are widely sufficient for everything you could want to put in there, even for a lot of backups if you like to keep your system backed up.

The higher-capacity models are of course bigger than others and mostly conceived to be left standing on a desk where they can look beautiful and where they do not need to be moved around all day. However, using such a device as a portable data storage is easier with the smaller models which feature between 200GB and 750GB which is still plenty for you to store music, movies and other stuff on, but these are small and light enough to be carried around in bags or pockets to be available whenever you need them.

Going for a smaller drive is obviously the way to go if you work mostly with documents and pictures since these types of files do not need much hard disk drive space. Whatever you need it for, an external hard drive is a wonderful way to work on your important projects from every place, no matter where you are, no matter what time it is.

Computer Memory the Best For Your System

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sun, 22 Aug 2010 06:41:00 +0000

If your computer comes with elementary memory, then definitely you need a memory upgrade. There are different types of computer memories; and every memory has its own distinct functioning. In general, a computer memory has four prominent characteristics namely, volatility, mutability, accessibility, and address-ability respectively. The performance of a memory is therefore based on these virtual characteristics.

The volatile or temperamental memory is the emotional computer memory, which functions in a similar manner human emotions work. As humans have vacillating emotions and so does the computer's volatile memory. Volatile needs constant power supply. If there's no power, then there's no volatile.

The dynamic and static computer memories are part of random access memory or the RAM. Both are volatile in nature, and need constant power source altogether. Dynamic memory refreshes itself after regular intervals of time, whereas the static memory doesn't refresh itself. The mutability characteristic of a computer memory is meant for reading and writing storage files, and come as immutable and mutable types respectively. It is extensively used for both secondary and primary storage purposes. ROM is a classic example of mutable and immutable storage memory which is quite crucial in writing on CDs, DVDs etc.

Sequential computer memory works great for off line storage purposes, as it is slow and all the information is gathered and accessed in a sequential order. Accessible is quite common in RAM as well as sequential memory, and gives an access to the stored files, which seemingly appears as instantaneous.

Lastly, the address-ability characteristic of memory is in three forms namely location, file, and content. For fast computer operations it is very necessary that you go for regular memory upgrade. If you are not upgrading the memory from time to time, then you are losing heavily on your computer efficiency. Memory can be purchased from third party vendors, but make it sure that you get original memory and along with the warranties, or else, in case of any technical fault, you'd be at the problem end.

Speed Up Your PC

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sun, 22 Aug 2010 06:30:00 +0000

Computers don't run so fast as it is new over time. In most cases, computer users take good care of their computer. They install antivirus software to keep the computer away from viruses. The folders are arranged in good order regularly. The recycle bin is emptied in time. It is confusing for many computer users about why the computer runs more and more slowly. This article will explain why the new computer responds more and more slowly and will discuss how to speed up a slow computer.

In normal conditions, if there is no error message or any other problem, the computer gets slower over time because the accumulation of some unneeded files. When you uninstall some programs, you thought it was uninstalled completely and in fact, it was not. There are still some remnants left.
These redundant things can't affect the computer speed instantly. However, it will influence the computer overall performance to a large extent if this can't be cleaned regularly.

It is not difficult to understand that the computer slowness because of this. Sometimes, it takes much longer to boot up. It is because the programs that start with the computer operating system become more and more. When you install a program, it often asks you whether you want it to start up with Windows. This is often overlooked and as a result, every new installed program starts up with Windows. Consequently, the computer starts up more and more slowly.

Now Windows registry needs to be explained in a simple way. It records all the information of the computer and of course it is the most important part of the computer. For example, there are records when you install or uninstall a program on the computer. There are some empty keys with time passing by. If they are not deleted, the computer speed is also affected.

The causes of computer becoming slow have been talked about above. The methods about how to speed up the computer will be discussed below. It is necessary to have antivirus software protect your computer from viruses though it may affect computer speed a little. You can clean the junk files manually, such as temporal files, some unneeded files and Internet cookies if you are not a computer newbie. For the startup speed, you can manually disable some startup options to speed up the bootup.

It is not so difficult to do as the steps above. However, you must be careful when you do some change about the registry. Your computer may crash if there is any wrong change in the registry. It is best to backup the registry when you modify it even for a computer veteran.

If you don't know much about computer and want to keep your computer running in good performance, a good registry cleaner will be much helpful. If you have a good cleaner, it can help you a lot. You can delete the junk files with it easily. For some advanced registry cleaners, they can not only clean the junk files in time, but also can fix many computer problems, including registry problems.

Web Browsers Mozilla Firefox 3.6.8

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sun, 22 Aug 2010 06:21:00 +0000

You are getting tired of using slow web browsers and you want to use a fast web browser, for free. The good news is, you can find those web browsers and downloaded them only in several minutes. Here are the tips on how to find free, fast web browsers especially the Mozilla Firefox 3.6.8

1: Download it from secure, trusted source

There are several version of Mozilla Firefox before during past years. The first time I stumbled upon Mozilla Firefox is back on 2007 at the time is was known as Firefox 2.

You can download Firefox 3.6.8 from its original source at Mozilla Foundation website. Click on the Yellow button which displays Firefox logo and the size of the setup file. I recommended you to put the setup file on to your Desktop section for easy 'double click installation process'.

2: Install the setup file onto your Desktop section.

The download process should take 7-12 minutes depend on your internet connection speed. You don't have to pay to download this browser. You don't have to buy it from a software shop either.

When finished, double click the setup file which has an icon of a box and a compact disc in front. Close another program in your computer before installing to make sure a smooth installation process.

3: Customize the setting for speed.

To enjoy fast web browsing, you need to do some tweaking. Go to the Taskbar section, click on Tools command, click Option, wait for the setting box to appear.

Go to Privacy setting, put your history into zero so Firefox will not installs any history record automatically. This setting enables fast browsing.

When you download any digital file from the internet using Mozilla Firefox, delete all those files from Download history. Keeping list of all downloaded items here slows down your browsing speed. To clean up Firefox downloads history, click to Tools, go to Download bar, click Clear List button.

Go to Advance tab (Tools - Options - Advanced - Update) and unclick the button that displays update from search engine, Firefox and add-ons. This task is automatic, means it is done in the background that eats up your internet connection. You can do that manually later.

My Review of PC Booster

As time progresses, it's somewhat realistic to envision that many people will opt to delve further into the advanced aspects of this program, using video tutorials, online support and documentation to help them utilise every aspect of the program.

The disk checking and repair aspects of this software do seem somewhat out of place with the rest of the features of this program. But I guess its inclusion was spawned out of a necessity to keep everything integrated.

To wrap it up, I must say that I found this application to be suitable for all users whether you're advanced or a novice, while offering a user friendly interface. The large customer profile of this program is testament to the effectiveness of this tool.

Make your PC faster

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 16 Aug 2010 12:49:00 +0000

In this article, I'm going to discuss reasons why your computer might be running slower than you'd like and some steps you can take to solve the problems. These possible solutions are simple and easy to perform. Anyone with a little computer savvy and common sense can do these tasks. Below are several reasons why your computer may be running slow and actions to take to try to solve the problem.
1: Too many Programs Running at Once. This may sound like a no-brainer, but when you're busy working on your computer, you may not realize just how many programs you have active. To solve this problem the answer is to close the programs you're currently not using. If you need some web pages for the work you're doing, you could save it and/or print the pages you need to free up more space.

2: Your computer is more than three years old. Technology, as you know, is constantly evolving and improving.

3: Your Computer Needs Defragmented. Over time you install and uninstall dozens of programs on your computer. As this process is being done, gaps in your hard drive develop because these programs don't always fill or vacate your hard drive correctly. These "gaps", when there are many of them, cause your computer to run slowly. The solution is to run the defragmenting program included in your computer operating system. If you run a search for "defragment" or look in the "Help" section for your PC, you will receive detailed instructions on how to perform this task.

Another tip is when you install a new program or software on your PC, always restart it. Then check your computer's performance after the install to make sure that installing that newest software didn't cause a slowdown in your performance.

Avoiding Viruses With Your PC

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 06 Aug 2010 13:57:00 +0000

The toughest to fight in any computer is a virus that has already gotten into your system, snooped into your files and multiplied to the point that it hogs your hard disk space and slowly eats at your system. Let's admit it, we're scared of these viruses and we want to get rid of them. Here are very useful tips for protecting your PC:

Making Use Of The Firewall

Windows operating system has the firewall for a reason. For those who are connected to the Internet 24/7, the firewall is the basic way to protect your PC. Check if your firewall is on by going to the control panel of your Windows PC. Firewalls keeps your computer away from malicious software (malware), worms, and Trojan viruses. Also, it prevents other people from snooping in your files and applications.

You can also download firewall software off the net if you want more protection for your system, but the basic firewalls work.

These days, when you have no antivirus software, your PC is vulnerable to virus attacks, especially when inserting your friends flash disks in your USB ports. There are already a variety of viruses sticking themselves to flash disks then automatically transferring it to the PC.

It would be really helpful to have an antivirus which is regularly updated off the internet. It's also good to always have it active all the time to detect virus in real time.

Check If Your Windows Operating System Is Getting Updates

Never ignore the Windows update bubble popping out of the lower right part of your screen. Your Windows operating system will be fully protected by downloading updates. These updates often include anti-malware updates or improvement for different Windows utilities to avoid vulnerabilities in the system.

Though most of the time, Windows automatically downloads updates and let you install them manually or automatically when you shut down your system.

sometimes; curiosity gets the better of us. Inspect the sender and the subject before opening an e-mail and downloading anything off the attachments. Some of the most deadly virus hides in e-mails.

Lastly, if you download files from limewire, for example, be very careful on downloading zipped files. Check if the file is described in the right size and it looks trustworthy enough before downloading it.

The Bottom Line

Being careful and doing the right things will help your PC avoid getting viruses. In the end, it's not up to the PC to do the work, but it's up to the user to configure and protect the PC himself; which is the best way.
