Computers are complex collections of hardware and software, and there is a lot that can go wrong. Knowing how to fix problems with your own computer can save you a lot of money in service fees and new hardware, and can keep your computer running smoothly for years. You can perform a lot of maintenance tasks within your operating system, and working with hardware is generally less daunting than it sounds.
1.Remove viruses. Viruses are the main cause of most people's computer problems. Removing viruses and ensuring that you remain virus-free will help your computer's health significantly.If you don't have one already, install an antivirus program. Mac users should install an antivirus program as well, as Macs are becoming larger targets for viruses.The best anti virus so far is Kaspersky and Norton
2.Remove adware. Adware are programs that are often installed alongside other programs, and can be difficult to get rid of. These programs send you targeted ads and may hijack your browser. Some are a risk to your personal information
3.Uninstall unwanted browser toolbars. Too many toolbars can cause your browser to slow to a crawl, and many can be incredibly difficult to remove. If you can't remove the toolbars, no matter what you try, you may need to reinstall your browser or install a different browser.
4.Uninstall unused programs. If you have a lot of programs installed that you don't use, they will sit on your hard drive taking up space, and potentially slowing your computer down by running in the background. Go through your programs list and remove any programs that you don't use anymore.
