Then there's the endless yearly subscription fee's to keep your computer protected. It's enough to drive you mad... or broke!

My friend is involved with Internet security and has almost all of the AntiVirus programs on different computers at his

Boy I wish someone had sternly helped me "keep it simple" not so long ago! I learned the hard way a couple years ago and now is the perfect time to pass along what I learned in mass. Don't ever, EVER, ever... use more than one AntiVirus software program on your computer at the same time. They will essentially attack each other, or consider the other to be an attacker, or whatever but... the loser will be you! To this day I don't understand how or why but my computer got totally screwed up, with some

Recently I have had a rash of people seeking help with their computers running poorly. Upon further investigation I found they never or rarely do any of the basics to get their system working properly. Even worse, they do not have many of the protections our Windows based computers need today. Adults are often guilty of this but our youth often seem to think their computers, like their lives, are indestructible. How wrong they can be! Having experienced my fair share of computer crashes even before Windows existed I know how costly the loss of hardware and especially time can be. Adults and youth alike need to take some necessary
