Getting back to basics

With so many people having computers these days its amazing how many of us forget the basic rules we learned.

1. A computer is like a car if we do not change the oil every 3,000 miles it will eventually ruin the engine over time. Same goes for your computer if we do not empty the recylce bin, delete our temp files, defrag the hard drive our computer starts to run slow.

2. I often hear people say that they get an error message when using Outlook Express or Microsoft Outlook that they can not recive any mail. Often the problem is that they are not aware that there is a limit to the amount of space these application can hold.

a. When was tha last time you emptied your deleted items folder in the application?
b. When was the last time you deleted anything from your sent folder?

3. Another thing that we often seem to forget is that spyware is a big issue with PC's.
