First, let's fine tune your computer.  You can easily do this at www.pcpitstop.com free of charge.  When you get to the site click on the Full Test's link on the left hand side. It is important to follow the instructions when running these test's.  Don't worry, I do it all the time!

Make note of any issues.  If you are having trouble fixing the problem drop me an email and I will do my best at resolving your issue.  Most things in there are pretty straight forward.  Like for instance, if you've got IE security issues get to your windows update pronto!  If it states that you could use more ram.  Purchase more ram!

Want to see if your computer is open to hacker's?  Go to https://grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2 and run both the "TEST MY SHIELDS" and "PROBE MY PORTS" to make sure your computer is secure.

There is a great program that CNET has put out that checks for updates for all of the installed programs running on your computer.  Keeping up with application updates is sometimes a daunting task, and sometimes, never done!  Keeping your software updated is fairly important.  Manufacturer's are always improving the way their software works on a specific operating system.  This is a win win situation.  First thing you have to do is download and install a small utility.  After that you would go to http://catchup.cnet.com/ to run various scans such as security updates and ad-ware detection as well as the software updates.  Use the same link to first download the catch up program. 

Last but not least.  Nowadays you HAVE to get into the habit of scanning for viruses on your system.  Anything you download and ESPECIALLY those darn email attachments.  They are the worst for having viruses.  If you have an anti virus program running on your system, great!  But make SURE that the .dat files are regularly updated!  On average there are 16 new viruses out each day.  Sad but very true.  If you don't have any anti virus software you're in luck.  Scoot on over to http://housecall.antivirus.com for an online virus check.  You can do your entire drive or just a folder. So now there is no excuse!  Get into the habit or you'll be unnecessarily formatting your hard drive!

Some helpful tips!

If you haven't already got google on your toolbar than you are missing out on the best search engine on the internet!

It's easy to install so there is no excuse not to get it!   Move yourself over to www.google.com and then click on "google toolbar". Follow the onscreen instructions and make sure to install it with the advanced options.

That's it!  Try typing in a question.  It works great!

Welcome!  My name is Teddy and I love everything about  computers.  I am not a wiz at all but rather a wannabe computer geek.  *s*

I wish there were no need for a web page such as this,  but we ALL run into computer problems from time to time.

I hope this site will be of some help to you as it will be for me keeping it up!
