How to Keep Your PC at its Best — The Ultimate Guide

When you start your day, there’s one common thing that you ask yourself — How to stay at my best today? Because, when you stay at your best, it’s really hard for anyone to make you down. The same tactics work for your favorite computer, you know. Your computer at its best can provide you almost 100% efficiency. So, how to keep it at its best?  Today in this article I’m gonna write some tips to kick your PC’s day off with a fabulous boost.

What security problems does your PC face?

First off, think of the hurdles that stop you having a great day. For sure sudden sickness comes in that list, which mainly caused due to the bloody viruses, no? The same stuff occurs in case of your PC. You surf the net, download files, chat with friends and silently a Trojan finds a way into your computer. In addition to the harmful viruses there are dangerous malwares; key-loggers etc. are waiting to hunt you. While malware and viruses can destroy your PC (infecting the system files in the core), key-loggers can steal all your information including your ultra-personal stuffs such as Facebook, Twitter & even PayPal passwords! So you better keep them away from your system. But how can you do so? Follow the following!

You want the solution, eh?

The basic and most effective solution is awareness. But as they say, we humans are made of mistakes. So we better handle the responsibility in expert hands. By expert hands you can assume what exactly I’m talking about — The Antivirus Programs. Let me illustrate this in a dramatic manner. Imagine a castle where you and your PC are living and a crowd of viruses moving in to attack your castle. In that situation the antivirus will stand in front and fight against those craps. Cool, no? And when the talk is about security stuffs, Bitdefender comes in the ring, always ready to create an unbreakable invulnerable wall in between your PC and the crappy viruses and malwares. All you have to do is buy the software, install it, and let it do its job. That’s it.

Why Bitdefender?

I know there are tons of other antivirus solutions available at the market right now. But according to me Bitdefender Antivirus Plus offers the best damn protection against Viruses, Malwares, Key-loggers etc. Bitdefender was rated 6 stars out of 6 in an independent IT Security Institute AV-Test, which, for sure abides by my words. Though all of you guys know that how trustworthy the antivirus software Bitdefender is, I thought of writing a review of it. So let’s have a look at its key features.

• First of all one of the most pleasing features it has offered is the Bitdefender Photon™. Often when you use a heavy antivirus the computer slows down a bit. But this innovative technology will leave you speechless with its breezing fast scanning experience.

• One of the biggest fears while surfing the net is Personal Information or Identity theft. But with Bitdefender, feel free as its Safepay™ feature protects you automatically in paying gateways. And its enhanced version keeps hackers locked out your world.

• When you visit a site to read some important data and a window pops up offering you an iPhone at 20 bucks, it feels really annoying, no? Regular pop up blockers are good but not the best. And that’s when Bitdefender Autopilot™ feature comes into play. It silently and automatically scours security dusts out of your window, without even seeking your attention. I think that’s a tremendous feature.

• And I don’t need to mention the virus protection ability of an antivirus which has been awared the BEST ANTIVIRUS 2014. Besides regular virus protection, it takes you higher, saving you from rootkits by its rescue mode.

• It doesn’t really seek too much pc configuration. It can be installed easily in a computer having 1 GB Ram and a free space of almost 1.8 GB. It works equally on Windows XP, Vista, 7 and 8. So you don’t need to worry about your OS.

• Besides all these features it’s packed with innumerable stuffs. For instance, Vulnerability scanner, USB Immunizer, Remote Management, Bitdefender Safego™ etc. will do pretty good.

I guess, those are the most fabulous features you usually hunt for in an antivirus software. I've seen many other antivirus programs (I won't mention the names) but they fail to provide all type of security by itself. You need to install several other software to get a total security pack. But the Bitdefender Antivirus Plus is a total security package by itself. You don't need any other software to stay fully protected. Hence I recommend using this software. Anyway rush now to get the Best Antivirus of 2014.

Other Solutions:

If you’re too conscious about your security stuffs and if you want to do this job of your own then here are some handy tips you might find useful.

• Firstly, do not respond positively to any mails that ask your password or bank pins. If you receive those mails, immediately contact that company and tell them about that mail.
• Do not use same password for all sites. If one of your passwords is hacked somehow, all your accounts become unsafe then.
• Use a strong unbreakable password consisting of capital letters, small letters, numbers, special characters etc. For instance YtGh7#2Es@v/e is really a strong password and a hacker has to try really hard in account to break it.
• While entering passwords in sites like PayPal be sure to use the on-screen keyboard provided by Windows (and by Mac if you bite apple, lol). By doing this you can avoid key-loggers.
• Use a genuine antivirus like Bitdefender and keep it updated in a daily basis.
• Keep Windows Firewall switched on and updated.
• While visiting social networking sites, don’t forget to take a look at its URL. Hackers often try to hoodwink you by same looking URLs. For example, they may use Faecbook.com which looks identical to usual Facebook.com. You go into that site, enter the password and boom! Your account is gone over to them. So you better be careful.

These were some tips which might save you in those security issues. Endeavor your best accomplishing those.

Problems other than security:

1. In addition to security problems there are other problems too! Sometimes your computer gets slow. Your internet gets horribly speed less. In those cases I recommend using AVG PC Tuneup software. This optimizes your PC Speed, Internet speed, Registry errors and many more. And you can also use this technique to manually boost up your internet speed.
2. Sometimes you accidentally delete your important files permanently. If you don’t get those back your Boss will, you know what I mean. This article will save you from your boss, I guess.
3. If you are using a laptop you might face problem while typing on your keyboard as the mouse pad comes in your hand palm. And if you don’t notice what you’re typing you will finish up at some unreadable, indigestible kind of document which and you can’t do anything but gawking at it. So how to avoid this? Fortunately there is a freeware named TouchFreeze that can help you keeping this err away. Just install it and let it do its work.
4. If your startup takes a lot of time, it might be caused by the user’s profile picture. Try changing it to a default one. It works often.
5. Many times when update a content of a specific webpage and look at that page later, it stays the same i.e. it doesn’t get updated. In those cases, try cleaning your browser’s cache memory.
6. While using your computer if your mouse freezes, that might be caused by virus. At that moment shut your computer down by pressing Alt+F4 or power button in your keyboard. Next after some minutes start your computer and perform a full antivirus scan of your computer including root scan on booting.
7. If you are using Windows 8 you might not like the Start UI that it provides you by default. If you want to change it back to the Windows 7’s start menu follow this tutorial.

Those are the basic tips that might help you avoiding little problems and keep your computer 100% healthy and wealthy.
