SAFETY PROCEDURES IN

Back up your data

The Importance of
Backing Up Files. It is very
important
to do regular backups to
prevent the lost of data.
Software can be
reinstalled but your
data could quite possibly
be lost for ever.
There are various causes for data
loss
VIRUS
MACHINE
BREAKDOWN
FLOOD
 Clean dust from your computer.

Computers are some of the most

efficient dust collectors known to man.
Aside from looking gross and possibly
being an allergy hazard, a dusty
computer will trap heat, which can
reduce its performance and lifespan.
 The easiest way
to clean it is with
compressed air -
open up the
case, take it
outside, and
blow the dust
out.
Clean up your cabling, and
everything else too.

There are probably two things

behind your computer: a mess of
cables, and dust bunnies. If you're
moving your computer, take the
opportunity to clean your desk and
floor as well.
 If you have a
lot of
peripherals,
consider
using cable
management
of some type.
Organize your installation disks

 Keep software, peripheral, and driver disks

in a single location, preferably close to the
computer.
 Make sure you have them handy before
attempting computer maintenance or
repairs.
 Run antivirus and spyware scans
regularly.

This item should go without saying, but

I'll say it anyway. Any computer that is
connected to the internet needs to
have some sort of antivirus software
Most antivirus software will monitor
the system for threats in real time, so
a full daily scan probably isn't
necessary, but do make time to run
a full scan every month at the least.
 Clean up your software.
Every few months, look through the
'Add or Remove Programs' interface
that is found in the control panel. If
there's software on there that you
don't use any more, remove it.
 Clean up your OS

Windows is not the most efficient operating

system, and sometimes needs attention
itself. It saves a large amount of
unnecessary information, mostly in the
form of 'temporary' files (which never get
deleted) lists of recently performed
searches, and the like.
 Update everything

Check for updates for your hardware

and software. This includes
running Windows Updates, checking for
updated drivers, and checking for
software patches.
 Defragment

Once your hard drive has been cleaned

up, it's a good time to defragment. This
organizes your files, leading to faster disk
access times and improved system
performance.
