Review of malware detection::how do i get rid of malware for free








To               increase               the               overall               performance               of               your               computer,               regular               and               routine               maintenance               is               necessary.

However,               taking               your               computer               into               a               Technician               to               do               this               is               not.

You               can               maintain               your               system               yourself               with               this               easy               to               follow               guide.

Without               regular               cleaning               and               maintenance,               your               hard               drive               gets               cluttered               with               data,               your               file               system               becomes               fragmented,               and               overall               performance               can               begin               to               slow.

Without               frequent               backups               and               file               updates,               your               data               is               more               difficult               to               restore.

For               optimal               performance,               you               should               always               check               for               updates,               patches,               and               changes               to               your               software               drivers,               subscriptions,               and               such.

Even               dust               and               grime               on               your               machine               and               hardware               itself               can               slow               the               performance               of               your               system.

What               You               Can               Do
               Before               you               jump               into               hard-core               maintenance,               you               should               clean               your               files.

Your               computer               has               no               idea               what               is               current               and               needed               and               what               you               could               delete.

You               have               to               do               this               by               hand.

The               areas               we               tend               to               build               the               most               clutter               are               the               Desktop,               My               Documents,               My               Pictures,               My               Music               and               Shared               Files.

Clean               up               in               these               areas               must               be               done               manually,               by               you.
               Starting               with               the               Desktop,               make               sure               your               shortcuts               are               all               valid,               remove               any               that               may               have               changed.

Then               sort               the               remaining               items               you               may               have               scattered               about               to               the               destination               they               actually               belong.

For               example,               word               files               should               be               stored               in               MY               Documents,               mp3's               should               be               stored               in               the               My               Music               area.

Next,               take               a               look               at               your               Task               Manager,               how               many               programs               do               you               have               set               to               launch               at               Start               Up?

Are               they               all               necessary?

Remove               any               programs               from               executing               at               Start               Up               that               you               can,               for               example,               your               music               and               media               players               -               these               can               be               started               manually               if               and               when               you               need               them               -               they               don't               need               to               be               executed               each               time               your               system               turns               on               and               off.

Once               the               Desktop               is               cleaned,               you               can               move               deeper               into               your               system.
               Starting               with               your               "My               Documents"               folder,               what               do               you               see               in               there?

Delete               any               obsolete               and               unnecessary               text               files               you               may               have               been               storing.

If               you               have               things               stored               in               here               that               belong               elsewhere,               move               them               to               their               proper               location.

For               example               -               move               images               to               the               "My               Pictures"               folder.

Check               file               names               and               rename               if               necessary               to               make               identification               easier.

Once               this               is               done,               move               on               to               "My               Pictures",               etc.,               until               you've               cleaned               and               organized               all               these               areas.
               System               Check               Up
               Once               you               have               your               Desktop               cleaned               and               organized               and               you've               gone               through               all               your               personal               file               areas               such               as               "My               Documents",               you               should               take               a               look               at               your               "Windows               Add               Or               Remove               Program"               feature.

Once               the               list               has               populated               -               what               do               you               see?

Do               you               have               programs               installed               that               you               no               longer               use,               or               trial               versions               that               have               long               since               expired?

You               can               safely               remove               these               programs               from               your               system               here               by               highlighting               and               clicking               "Remove".

In               some               cases,               you               may               be               ask               to               restart               your               machine               in               order               for               the               changes               to               take               effect               or               the               uninstall               to               complete.
               Your               system               stores               a               vast               amount               of               temporary               files               on               your               hard               drive,               cached               copies,               and               cookie               files.

None               of               these               are               necessary               for               your               systems               operation,               and               deletion               can               greatly               increase               your               available               memory.

The               easiest               and               safest               way               to               access               and               delete               these               files               is               to               open               and               internet               browser               window,               at               the               top               of               the               frame               click               "Tools",               "Internet               Options",               "Delete               Cookies",               and               "Delete               Files".
               Now               is               also               a               great               time               to               run               your               Anti-Virus               software               and               scanning               programs.

If               you               do               not               have               any               virus               protection               software               installed,               you               can               visit               TrendMicro.com               and               use               their               free               HouseCall               service               for               a               thorough               scan               of               your               computer.

Remove,               repair,               or               quarantine               anything               malicious               from               your               system.
               The               Cleaning               Process
               Once               a               month,               you               should               scan               your               hard               drive               for               errors               and               fix               any               corrupt               sectors.

You               can               do               this               by               running               the               "Scan               Disk"               program               located               in               your               Program               Manager.

Click               "Start",               "All               Programs",               "Accessories",               "System               Tools",               and               "Disk               Cleanup"               or               "Scan               Disk"               depending               on               the               operating               system               you               have.

This               program               will               run               this               diagnostic               test               automatically,               and               at               completion               it               will               display               the               problem               areas               it               detected               on               your               system.

You               will               then               be               asked               what               you               wish               to               do               to               correct               these               areas,               simply               follow               the               suggestions,               and               the               program               will               automatically               make               the               needed               repairs               for               you.
               Defragment               your               hard               drive               should               also               be               done               once               a               month.

This               program               will               automatically               find               and               repair               invalid               registry               entries               and               broken               shortcuts.

It               will               also               move               files               and               folders               and               store               them               more               efficiently,               which               increases               memory               and               overall               performance.

Click               "Start",               "All               Programs",               "Accessories",               "System               Tools",               and               "Disk               Defragmenter".

The               program               will               launch               and               began               the               scan               automatically.

This               can               take               several               minutes               or               even               over               an               hour               depending               on               how               large               your               storage               areas               are.

If               you               have               Norton               SystemWorks,               it               has               all               the               tools               you               need               to               schedule               and               complete               each               of               these               tasks.

You               can               use               Speed               Disk               and               Norton               Disk               Doctor               to               defragment               and               scan               your               hard               drives,               and               Norton               Win               Doctor               is               an               excellent               tool               for               keeping               your               Windows               operating               system               in               good               health.
               The               Cleaning               Process
               Now               that               you've               done               a               quick               cleaning               on               your               computer's               operating               system,               now               it's               time               to               take               a               look               at               your               machine               itself.

It's               recommended               that               you               shut               your               system               down               for               this               process               and               unplug               from               any               power               source.

You               will               need               compressed               air,               either               canned,               or               you               can               use               a               small               air               compressor               hose               if               you               have               one.

You               will               also               need               a               spray               cleaner               recommended               for               electronics.

If               you               have               special               cleaning               software               for               your               CD               ROM               drives,               you               will               also               need               these               tools.
               Starting               with               your               mouse,               turn               it               over               and               examine               the               roller               ball               and               the               mouse               exterior               case.

You               can               clean               the               roller               ball               by               following               the               illustration               on               the               bottom               of               the               mouse               case,               and               removing               the               ball.

With               standard               spray               cleaner               recommended               for               electronics,               use               Q-Tips               to               gently               clean               the               areas               inside               the               roller               housing               that               have               collected               dust               and               grime.

Clean               the               exterior               of               the               mouse               case,               and               then               replace               the               ball               in               the               roller               housing.
               Next,               you               should               blow               out               your               keyboard               with               compressed               air,               making               sure               you               hold               it               an               angle               in               which               the               dust               and               grime               can               fall               free               from               the               keyboard               case               as               the               compressed               air               lifts               it               from               the               crevices.

Once               the               dirt               has               been               blown               free               from               the               casing,               you               can               clean               the               exterior               of               the               keyboard               with               spray               electronic               cleaner,               and               go               around               and               between               the               keys               with               a               Q-Tip.
               A               licensed               Technician               would               remove               your               computer               tower               case               in               order               to               clean,               but               this               is               something               you               can               do               yourself               as               well.

Simply               remove               the               casing               screws               and               lift               off               the               exterior               case.

Using               canned               or               compressed               air,               gently               blow               free               all               of               the               dust,               dirt,               and               grime               from               the               parts               and               wires               inside.

Pay               attention               to               the               fan               assembly               and               housing               and               make               sure               this               area               is               especially               dust               and               grime               free.

On               the               exterior               of               your               case,               also               make               sure               the               ventilation               fins               are               especially               clean.

Replace               the               tower               case,               and               the               screws.
               Clean               your               monitor               as               you               would               your               television.

Use               the               spray               electronics               cleaner               and               a               dust               free               cloth               to               clean               the               exterior               surface               and               screen.

You               may               also               wish               to               use               canned               or               compressed               air               to               gently               blow               out               ventilation               fins.
               Optimizing               Performance
               Now               that               the               inside               and               outside               of               your               machine               has               had               a               cleaning,               you               should               begin               working               on               optimizing               the               performance               of               your               software               and               hardware.

Quite               often               software               has               new               releases,               patches,               fixes,               and               updates               that               you               may               or               may               not               even               be               aware               of.

Starting               with               your               Window's               operating               system,               visit               Microsoft.com               and               check               to               see               if               you're               current               on               all               updates               for               your               operating               system.

In               other               cases               the               Manufacturer               may               have               released               a               new               version               of               the               software               and               you               may               be               ask               to               purchase               the               new               release.

You               should               also               check               all               of               your               programs               that               have               a               subscription,               such               as               Norton               SystemWorks,               and               see               when               their               expiration               date               is.

               Backup               The               System
               Once               you've               updated               your               software               and               hardware,               you               now               want               to               save               your               important               changes               and               improvements.

System               crashes               can               happen,               and               there               is               rarely               any               warning               when               they               do.

Backing               up               your               system               regularly               will               help               you               in               recovering               any               lost               or               corrupted               data               during               a               crash               or               malfunction.

You               might               also               want               to               store               a               copy               online               so               you               could               access               it               remotely               in               case               of               fire,               theft,               or               loss               of               some               sort.
               Once               you've               backed               up               your               system,               you               should               also               create               a               bootable               system               disk.

This               will               allow               you               to               start               your               computer               from               another               drive               in               case               of               system               failure               and               you               can't               boot               from               the               hard               disk.

If               you               have               Norton               SystemWorks,               you               can               use               the               Norton               SystemWorks               CD               as               a               bootable               disk.

If               you               don't,               you               should               create               a               disk               by               burning               it               to               CD.

This               is               also               something               you               might               consider               storing               online               in               case               you               needed               to               access               it               remotely               and               make               a               new               copy.
               Some               people               who               run               home               based               businesses               or               do               their               financial               affairs               on               the               home               computer               may               also               want               to               invest               in               recovery               tools               like               Norton               Ghost               or               Norton               GoBack.

Norton               Ghost               will               create               an               exact               replica               of               your               entire               system.

In               the               event               your               system               begins               to               malfunction               or               become               corrupt,               Norton               Ghost               backup               can               easily               restore               the               entire               system               to               it's               original               working               state.
               Your               computer               is               set               to               make               system               check               points               automatically               at               certain               scheduled               intervals.

Once               you've               cleaned               and               organized               your               system,               you               should               manually               have               System               Restore               run               a               System               Check               Point.

This               creates               a               new               restore               point               that               will               capture               the               new               data,               files,               and               properties               that               you've               created               during               your               system               maintenance.

               Attacks               by               viruses,               worms,               Trojans               and               other               forms               of               malware               and               spy               ware               are               at               all               time               high.

If               you               don't               have               protection               software               installed               on               your               machine,               you               are               literally               asking               for               invasion               and               infection.

There               are               several               good               quality               free               protection               services               available               for               download,               and               it               is               recommended               you               install               one               immediately.

A               thorough               security               check               needs               to               be               a               step               in               your               maintenance               routine.

Your               security               check               should               include               a               virus               detection               scan               and               a               virus               definition               update,               as               these               threats               change               constantly.

You               should               also               review               your               Windows               Firewall               and               security               software               settings               to               make               sure               they're               turned               on               and               functioning               at               their               highest               level               of               security.
               You               should               schedule               a               system               scan               at               least               once               a               month,               preferably               during               your               regular               and               routine               maintenance.

Some               programs               do               this               continuously,               and               some               do               this               on               a               scheduled               basis.

Also               check               to               see               if               the               protection               system               you               have               is               up               to               date.

Some               have               automatic               updates,               other               require               you               visit               the               Manufactures               website               and               download               updates.
