Verify Your Programs are Up-to-date

Keeping your programs current helps make them more stable and secure. Check the website of the software manufacturer for updates.

Perform a Full Virus Scan

Do this AT LEAST once a month. If you use your computer often you will better off performing a full scan at least once a week.

Scan Your System for Ad or Spyware

Use a program such SpyBot Search and Destroy  (clicking link will initiate a download of the program – it’s free) to cleanse your system of malware.

Verify Your Backup System is Working
