Get A Grip On Windows 10 Now

  I have been using Windows 10 on one of my bench computers and so far it's not too bad. It seems to be doing a good job. I would not recommend using it in a dual boot system until Microsoft comes out with a good stable version. Right now they are out with a technical version for technicians and the public to try. My advise is install it fresh on a computer that you have nothing to lose on. This way if anything goes wrong and Murphy s Law usually does seem to happen you will have no loss. I would suggest buying some books on windows 10 to get some further help in learning the operating system.
 Windows 10 does come with windows defender just as in windows 8 and 8.1 . It does seem to do a fair job on keeping the system safe. I should remind everyone that no virus software will protect a system 100% of the time, so always back up your system. I did try installing free avg 2015 on the windows 10 system and it seemed to have some issues. It kept coming up and wanting to reboot the system, therefore I uninstalled it. Below is a list of compatible antivirus programs working so far with windows 10. All I can say you have to try for yourself. If you are looking for a different AntiVirus Software check out the store below the posts.

Backup Backup And Backup You PC

EXTERNAL BACKUP HARD DRIVE

  One of the most important things you can do is backup your computer. It does not matter whether you are in a business environment or just a home user. I have seen way too many times where a hard drive went bad and the customer never backed up their data. With all the bad pc viruses going around it is essential that your computer has a backup plan in place. Believe me data recovery can become very expensive. If you acquired a virus like the cryptowall or crypto locker virus you could lose everything. Most people keep family pictures, documents, music and other data on their home computer. It kills me when I have to tell them they have lost it all.
  The easiest way to back up a windows 7 computer is to use the backup program in the control panel with an external hard drive. Just make sure to leave the external hard drive connected only when the backup is running. The cryptowall and cryptolocker as well as other viruses can infect the external hard drive. I have that happen to customers recently. Windows 8 and 8.1 don't really have the backup program in them. There is a recent history program that backs up data and you can manually make an image of the system, but you need to remember to do it. I would suggest a backup to the cloud with something like carbonite. Just get the full package so it backs up everything. One safe idea is to have a second standard account to save data, pictures and whatever to. The cryptowall and cryptolocker do not infect or attack standard accounts.
  So just remember to backup your computer today.
 You can search for an external hard drive in the store below the posts.
  Thank You for reading and save that data with a backup system.   

Clean That Computer Out Inside

  Yes the hot weather is here and your computers are going to get warmer inside. Especially if they are full of dust inside. I see all the time where the front of a desktop computer is packed with dust. The next most common place is the microprocessor heat sink. Finally the third popular place for dust to build up is in the power supply. These will all prevent the proper air circulation in the system. The system will be overheating and shutting or damaging your expensive equipment. So make sure to blow the dust out of your computer and keep it running cool.

                      
                       REMEMBER NOT TO SPIN THE FANS TOO FAST

  You can blow the dust out with a air compressor. It will do an excellent job. Just make sure to wear a dust mask so you don't breath in any junk. When you blow out any fans I would use something like a pencil to hold the fan. If the fan spins too fast it could exceed its rating and become damaged. Most front cases can be removed by releasing plastic catches. Just be careful, because they can break easily. I would not use a vacuum cleaner to clean out dust, because it can damage components by esd or electro static discharge. If you are blowing the dust out of a laptop computer you can use the air compressor or the canned air duster. To hold a small fan from spinning I would use a plastic tie wrap. They are small enough to get through the cpu fan slots. You may also have to remove the keyboard to get to the other side of the cpu fan to remove any chunks of dust. If it's really bad I recommend taking it to a professional for the proper cleaning.
  Thank You for reading and keep your computer cool this summer.
