Tip #1 Make sure you have adequate Antivirus AND Antispyware software.

Now days, basic Anti-Virus software is simply not enough. You need both  Anti-Virus AND 'Anti-Spyware' protection. Although, the term 'Spyware' is mostly a vague term for any Virus-like, Spyware, Adware, or Malware (malicious software). If you are already infected, you may not be able to download or install this software. NEVER purchase any software your computer may tell you, or direct you to. This may very well be a scam to get your money. Elite can remove any current infections you may have. Call us for further details.

Tip # 4 Upgrade your RAM.

Upgrading your Random Access Memory can have a nice performance increase on your system. Do not confuse this with your Hard Drive (storage space). RAM is only used when you computer is on. Essentially, the more you have, the more your computer can run at any given time. It is recommended that you have at least 2-4GB of RAM these days (Depending on your windows version; Windows Vista is much more memory-dependent).

Tip # 5 Upgrade to Windows 7.

 If your system will support it, upgrade to Windows 7. It's clearly most functional, compatible, and secure version of Windows to date. If you have Windows Vista, your computer can upgrade to 7. Call Elite to upgrade your system today.

Tip # 6 Obtain a Link Scanner

If you do not have an Antivirus or Antispyware program that has a type of 'link scanner' technology, you should look into them. This basic program simply checks the web pages that you search, for malicious code - before you even click on them. These programs will indicate whether the website you are about to click is tainted or malware (spyware) infested.

Until Next Time....
