Thanks…I’ve learned much from these forums in the last few days. I believe in 3 computer tasks…( besides the obvious like avast!, a firewall and spyware/malware programs) is "disk clean-up, defrag, and security controls. A good practice is to always clean your cookies, as I know some people don’t do it after an internet session. A defrag is a good thing once a month (unless you download and delete a lot, then perhaps more frequent) and paying attention to your security controls. At work and at home, I use as high as they get unless it impedes my performance, but I have yet to see that. avast! is set on the highest and scanning is set to late at night when I know that I won’t be on it. Keep up the good work and thanks for keeping us all Informed and safe :slight_smile:
