  Get offline before installing software
    Do not install software or run disc maintenance while connected online; this may cause problems with the software.

  Keep antivirus software running at all times

 

  When surfing the internet, keep antivirus software running at all times; as well, scan for viruses all documents to be saved in the computer even if they are given to you by a friend or family member; they may not be aware of possible viruses in their data.

  Use surge protectors
    Always use a surge protector to plug a desktop and its peripherals to. If electrical damage occurs, all the data stored in the desktop may be gone forever and peripherals may get damaged as well.
    :: Consider the Watts power ::

  If the laptop freezes
    When the computer freezes, try pressing Ctrl + Alt + Del; if this does not help, turn off the computer by pressing the power button, but this may result in loosing the last data that it was being worked upon.

  Shut down a laptop properly
  Always turn off a laptop by saving all the data appropriately, closing all programs and shutting it down from the start menu, and choosing ‘Shut Down’; not doing so, may cause disk problems; in ScanDisk appears, fix any disk problems by pressing ‘Enter’.
