Time for a new computer?

Some users want to know if they need a new comptuer. . I would say it's a personal question, meaning that if you only brose the internet and check emails then maybe all you need to do is update/upgrade your current computer. I ussually ask them , what are their computer specifications, meaning their Ghz and ram ammount. I feel that if your computer is a desktop Pentium 4 with around 1.8 Ghz , with about 512 of ram, and all you do is chat, email, internet, then No you dont need to upgrade. I would just suggest adding 1gb of memory to speed up some proccess. Now if you have a machine that is 800mhz and 256 of ram, and you running xp. I would say go for it, buy a simple dell or other brand, for aroudn 300-400 US dollars. I my self, love doing a lot of random things online, such as having multiple webpages up, watching youtube videos, playing my itunes play list, and sometimes i might even play a game or two. My computer is a dual2 core with 1gb of memory, and to be honest it does the job. I wish i had a monster computer, but its not needed.

The purpose of this article is to help those users debating wheather to upgrade to a new computer or not. I would recomend, doing a Clean windows install, so start fresh like when the computer came from the factorey (retail store) and it was extra fast and cool. I will talk more about that in the future, for now i will leave it here, if you got any more questions let us know.

Clean Up Internet Explorer Suggestion

Many home computers users have Internet explorer as a default browser. One of the things that can be done to prevent it from accumulating too much stuff is to clean the Temporary Internet Folder. (note: If this process has not been completed before it can take a while.

Now lets get started.

Go to: Internet Explorer.
Click on Tools, Internet Options,
Under "Temporary Internet Files", click on Delete Cookies, then, Delete Files.
Click on Settings and change the recycle bin size to about 10 mb. For me it was 1788MB (1.7Gb).
Click OK then also clean the cookies folder. When you are done with this you can exit the Internet Explorer options.

Computer clean up

Over time your computer acumulates Dust and debree from your house and dayly use. I recomend you guys try to get a can of compress air and whipe all that dust away. Since it really makes your hardware hotter than it should be. My laptop Video card burnt that way playing too much BF2, and now i take that precaution with my computers. Just a tip from Remote desktops :)

Spyware and viruses can make your computer run slow

I have noticed that most of the users that i have helped at my job, have some sort of spy ware or malware or virus program on their computer. Believe it or not is very easy to get them on your computer. You have to take matters into your own hands to be able to get rid of them to improve your internet safety (personal information) and your computer performance (speed). One way you can do this is by stop using internet explorer and use something like firefox. Once you do this, lets start by cleaning up some of the stuff you have been accumulating on your computer, such as internet history, programs you no longer use, programs you delete and are still inside your computer, spam, files your computer doesn't use and registry that has been outdated. I use CCleaner to clean up my computer, its free and i recommend it. Once you have cleaned up your computer, you can start the spyware/virus cleaning. You can start with the spyware, by downloading ad-aware which is also free, and will clean up your system. After it fully scans your computer and you delete the malware, you should restart your computer, and then download Avira which is the best FREE virus scanner i know. This will wipe any virus from your computer, its great because its updated weekly. Once you are done, with the clean up, and deleted all that baggage that was keeping you from enjoying your computer, you can now download COMODO firewall .
Comodo firewall is a great firewall that will keep anything from accessing your computer without your consent, it also stops any program that wants to install on your computer as well. All these programs are free so you have no excuse to not protect your self against malicious programs that are out there

If you had problems with any of the programs above, shoot me an email at remotedesktops@gmail.com and i can help you set them up or walk you thru the problem you are having.
