Tips to keep your system healthy:

• Do a disk clean-up to delete all temporary files from your system's hard drive.

• Do a disk defragmentation to organize all files in your hard drive and speed-up the system.

• Run the windows update option to get the latest patches and updates from Microsoft for your system; If you use a different operating system (Mac, Linux, etc) obtain the updates from the recommended source. Remember that your system needs to be connected to the internet in order to be able to download the updates.

• Back-up your information. Depending of the amount of critical information you have stored in your hard drive do a back-up a least every two weeks. This is the only way to avoid loosing important documents or files if your computer get infected with a virus or your hard drive crash.

• To keep your system safe from viruses, update the antivirus program at least once a week. Sometimes your system is connected to the internet and the live update feature (to automatically update your virus definitions) is not able to connect to the server and get the latest virus definition updates; at this point you need to do this manually by clicking on the update option of your antivirus software. Remember that your system needs to be connected to the internet.
