New computer

hi
I have a new computer, sus UL30A
and I want it to run well, what do I need to do to it to prevent malware/virus or just make sure it runs well for a long time?

 

First you need a good anti virus program here are two good free ones.

http://www.majorgeeks.com/Avira_AntiVir_Personal_-_FREE_Antivirus_d955.html

Then you need to clean out all the junk files at regular intervals, most of us use this, it is also free but very effective.

If you need anything else give us a call and we are ready.

 

Two minds with but a single thought.

 

One the most important things a person can do to avoid malware is to not go browsing around the internet in an admin account.

 

I changed that

how do I add the missing "Desktop" button?
whyd they get rid of that?

 

I agree with what it listed atm. Heres a link to how to protect yourself http://forums.majorgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=44525. Just remember its you that surfs and download that can get you introuble

 

Most new PCs/Laptops come with some pre installed software including antivirus type stuff..
You need to be careful running multiple apps... only one anti-virus only one firewall

Move your cursor to the far right of the taskbar. Then the desktop will show. As soon as the pointer moves off of the little rectangle you will go back to the windows you had open.

Edit: I forgot to mention that if you want to minimize all windows you can also press the "windows key" + D. Press the key combination again to restore all windows.

 

thanks

 

I dont know if bumping a thread is a good idea, doubt as it only hurts me
but I am not familar with the windows7 media player
I made my selection of tracks i want to play, then I open it up and it plays
but i dont see a listing of tracks, so how can i jump to the next track without re-selecting all the tracks I want to play?

I have tracks
1
2
3
4
5
6
7

I want to play 1 for a while, then skip to track 2....and I want to do this easiest way possible
I see the Track jump, but I'd prefer a list of all the tracks, so I dont have to think about where I am, (which lecture I'm listening to because they have an order)


I miss winAmp
or even the old WMP

NEVERMIND I FIGURED IT OUT
OPPPS

 

Bumping basically hurts you only in Malware.

 

so how do I get windows 7 to
1
stop asking me if I want to store passwords(I always respond NEVER ask me again)

2 when I open new tabs to show those tabs at the bottom, so I dont have to move my mouse over the FF icon in my quicklauch tabl(bottom left) to see what is going on in my other windows

 

so when I have multiple tabs open, like 9+
my computer is slow to switch
it will hangup and not switch screens then it will un hang up and finally unhang up

how do I stop this from happening
