2 Regular tune-ups To keep the computer hardware and software running like new, perform these simple tasks periodically. ● Install and/or update the antivirus software. Protect against current security threats to the computer by installing antivirus software. Keep the antivirus software up to date to protect against the ongoing threat of new viruses. ● Install and update software that detects and removes spyware. Spyware tools allow you to detect and prevent electronic encroachment into the computer system by outside parties. ● Create a backup strategy. A virus or an electrical outage could damage or destroy your information. Back up your files onto a CD-RW, DVD+RW, or USB drive to protect against loss or damage to your files. ● Create a restore point. In the event of a computer problem, these benchmarks allow you to go back in time to a point before the computer encountered a problem. ● Create a PC tune-up schedule. Create weekly and monthly reminders to back up files, update virus software, and perform hardware and software maintenance. ENWW 5
