A Cleaning Tip...for your PC


Many times as we are looking through the house for areas to save money, the search will focus on the pantry, refrigerator, or the supplies. We often overlook that one thing in your house that holds more viruses, creepy crawlers, cookie crumbs and bugs than anything…your computer!

Keeping a computer running clean and up-to-date is often the realm of the unknown for the homeowner. This lack of tech skill usually means paying through the nose for anti-virus, support or repair.

In the business of keeping your computer safe and clean, one company, Lavasoft, has offered a wonderful free antivirus product for years. It is called Ad-Aware and it can be downloaded here http://www.lavasoft.com/.

Ad-Aware software can be downloaded, installed and ran on your computer for free. It receives rave reviews year after year in tech forums and magazines. The software is designed to be easy to use and understand. It’s as simple as “start”, “scan” and “remove.” This software is designed to keep your computer free and clear of nasty bugs, pop-ups and software, specifically those you have contracted after a rousing jaunt around the internet.

Internet browsing allows the unfortunate evil of your computer filling up with little devices designed to flag and track your habits, create annoying ads and potentially harm your PC. Ad-Aware is a wonderful, free weapon in your ongoing computer battle against the enemy!
