As computers age, they slow down. They’re often filled with junk and malware. An occasional cleanup can extend their lives. That can even avert common problems.
This maintenance doesn’t require expensive software. These programs are great, and they’re free.
WOT – This Firefox add-on will protect you while surfing. WOT stands for Web Of Trust. When you use popular search sites, it puts ratings beside results. You’ll immediately know which sites are safe. This helps you avoid malware.
Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer – This program analyzes Windows for smaller security threats. It checks passwords and user accounts. And it makes sure Microsoft programs are up to date.
CCleaner – Removing unwanted files keeps the hard drive running smoothly. But that isn’t always easy. This program makes it simple. Remove Web tracks, temporary files and unessential programs.
Security software – You need the right security software: firewall, antivirus and anti-spyware programs. That’s free, too. You’ll find everything you need in my Security Center.
