Answer 1

PC Running Slow, Hangs, Freezes:

- Many users are not aware of how much RAM is used by wallpaper and/or a screensaver full of graphics. They run in the background and consume memory. (I have only 512mb RAM, run multiple programs simultaneously, and have set my wallpaper and screensaver to blank.)

- How many programs do you load at startup? Maybe you should check it out and ensure you are running just what you need.
To do this: cl Start, cl Settings, cl Taskbar and Start Menu.
- cl Start Menu, cl Customize, cl Remove.
- cl the icon for the program you wish to remove
- then cl Remove.
- This will prevent the program from loading at startup, but will not remove the program from the hard disk.

- When you are working in a large file, save frequently to restore full memory access. (Your work remains in memory until you “save” it to disk.)

1. Did you run an error check? Open My Computer,
Right-cl on C:, Select Properties, Tools – Run an Error Check ( checkmark “check all and fix); then run a Defrag

2. Are you using Yahoo Toolbar? Run a full Norton Antispy.

3. From IE, click Tools, Internet Options
delete cookies
delete files (offline files)
clear history (set days to save to 0 if you want)
click o.k., and Restart

3. click Start, Programs, Accessories, System Tools – run Disk Cleanup

4. click Start, Run ipconfig renew (type ipconfig space renew)

All these things should be done regularly. The more frequently they are run, the less time they take.
- Note: Games and videos are mostly graphics. Graphics create large files. If this doesn’t help, you should consider getting more memory.

Security:
Tools, Internet Options, review Security, Privacy, Content.
In Content, if you click enable, you can set violence, sex, etc. to 0 and set a password.

After a good antivirus program, you provide the best security. Don't open mail from anyone you don't know or trust, be careful where you go and what you click.

Answer 3

The best way to protect yourself is to disconnect from the net.

When I was just learning PC's I used to run into problems like this and found it useful to always burn anything you want to keep, or move to separate drive. Break out the format stick and reinstall the OS.

This is the absolute way to make sure your system is good to go.

Other than that you have to be careful on what you do on the net. Just remember that NOTHING is for free on the net.
