PC Maintenance & Security

The three tutorial I chose for this lab were:
A) 1. Clean up & speed up your PC
     2. I learned how to save space by using the disc cleanup and how to make my computer start up faster.
     3. I was surprised by how much space was being taking up by unnecessary stuff and I am glad that I now know how to get rid of these unwanted applications.

B) 1. Using free anti-virus products
     2. I learned many different options for installing free anti-virus products. I am now using Avast on my computer.
     3. I was surprised that there are so many free anti-virus software programs out there that I didn't know about.

C) 1. File backup options.
     2. I learned that Microsoft has a quick and easy way to help you backup your files which is a good thing for me because I have had two of my previous computers crash on me and lost all of my files.
     3. I was surprised that this Microsoft program is already on your computer and that no one had told me about it.

  1. It is amazing how many programs we load onto our computer during the year. Some are added automatically when the upgrades are loaded if you are not closely paying attention. Microsoft has a lot of helpful programs if you know how to set them up.
