Here are a few quick and easy things that you can do to keep your system running smoothy.

• Run Anti-Virus software and keep it up to date. New virus are being discovered every single day so it’s important to ensure your antivirus software is kept up to date. We have links to numerous free Anti-Virus programs in our Anti-Virus downloads section, AVG being the current favorite.
• There are three programs that should be used on a regular basis to combat Spyware and Malware infections. They are Adaware, Spybot and Microsoft’s Defender, which are available from our Anti-Spyware downloads section.
• Defrag your Hard Drives periodically to ensure files are laid out on the disk efficiently. Information on how to do this in Windows XP is available here.
• Remove any unwanted files and software from your system. CCleaner and Add/Remove Pro are great ways to achieve this and are both available for download here.
