PC's Do's and Don'ts

PC Do’s and Don’ts

Do's
•           Unplug your PC if you are not using it for extended periods of time. Be aware of the fact that even if your computer is turned off, a hacker may have access to your information if your network card has WON (Wake-On-Lan). Most computers do not have this turned on. Check the specs of your computer to find out how you can tell.
•           Password protect your computer. This means create a strong password of a minimum 8 characters and use Upper case, Lower case, Numbers and Miscellaneous characters (*, !, $, ?, etc)
•           Use passwords that are not easy detectable. A password like Password123 is NOT secure.
•           Regularly change your passwords (at least once in 6 months). Keep in mind that in some computer systems (Linux, for instance) once you use a password , you have to regularly change it as it expires anyway.
•           Back up your information (on CDs, DVDs). It is the only way you can avoid losing it for good.
•           Keep your backup information in a different and secure location from your PC system. Take safety measures for your sensitive data. For instance, in case something unexpected should happen where your PC is located, such as a fire, you have the certainty that your information is safe and sound somewhere else.
•           Use antivirus software, firewall and email filtering software. Most of these come as a complete set when purchasing a total internet protection software. Do your research for the best one.
•           Regularly update your software.
•           Do run anti-virus. If you use your computer a lot, scan your system at least once a week.
•           Windows users can download Microsoft Security Essentials for free. Those who use Comcast as their Internet provider can download Norton Anti-virus from Comcast’s website for free, too.
•           Simply having the anti-virus software isn’t enough. People need to constantly update and use it as malicious software is being created every day.
•           Do use the cloud. The famous cloud is really just the Internet. Storing backup information or files on the Internet allows you to access them from anywhere. So if, worst case scenario, your house burns down, your digital photos will be safe even though your computer and external hard drive are fried. File sharing sites such as Dropbox will allow you to store two gigabytes worth of data for free. I recommend using Carbonite as an online backup. For $59 a year, the website will store unlimited data from a computer.
•           Do get a solid state drive. If you want to invest in your computer, consider getting a solid state drive, an alternative to the traditional spinning hard drive. They are expensive but they will make your computer run about several times faster.

Don't's
•           Do not download files or programs from sites you don't know or trust.
•           Do not use easily detectable passwords on your computer, such as name, date of birth, mother's maiden name, etc.
•           Do not use the same passwords for all your files.
•           Do not keep your backup information in the same place with your PC. In case an unforeseen situation may appear where your computer is located, you have the certainty that your backup data is safe in a different location.
•           Don’t click on short links. At least, don’t click without doing proper research first. When it comes to bit links, the problem is that the final destination is unknown. Davis recommends using websites like www.checkshorturl.com to verify that the link will take you where it promises to.
•           Don’t open attachments in email. In some instances you will receive an email from what appears to be a legit person and it will have an extension of EXE, or MSI. In today’s hacker-friendly world, getting a hold of someone’s email address is relatively easy and all it takes is a double-click so avoid it.
•           Don’t blindly click on links in browsers or emails. Just because the link reads www.facebook.com doesn’t mean it’s going to Facebook. I recommend you hover over the link with their mouse and look at the bottom of your browser to see the exact destination address. If the link and the destination address don’t match up, don’t click.
•           Don’t fill your hard drive to capacity. I recommend keeping at least 20 percent of the hard drive free. If you are doing a gazillion things at once on your computer, chances are that you have used up all your RAM. Once your RAM is used, your computer uses your hard drive as additional RAM. But if your hard drive is full to the brim, this will end up crashing your computer.
•           Don’t automatically buy a new computer when yours has problems. Call a professional to get advice first. Though the computer may seem dead to you, it may be fixable and more economical to repair than buying a new one.
•           Don’t buy a really cheap computer. You can find new computers as cheap as $250 to $300, but you get what you pay for. These cheaper computers have very low performing processors and other components, so they’ll be slower and won’t last as long. I recommend spending at least $500 on a new computer. If that won’t work for your budget, consider a good refurbished PC, which you should be able to find in the $300 to $350 range, which will likely perform much better than a cheap new computer.
•           Don’t throw out your computer with files on it. Your computer likely has sensitive files and data on it, such as saved passwords and financial documents. If you’re selling or donating the computer, you should be able to do a factory restore. However, some data still may be recoverable, so consider using special software to securely wipe the drive, but the next owner would have to reinstall Windows. If you’re throwing the computer in the trash, you can remove the hard drive and simply physically damage it.
•           Don’t abruptly turn off your computer. If your computer isn’t properly shutdown, like by holding in the power button for a couple seconds, it can cause hard drive errors and other issues. Thus always shutdown your computer in Windows. If your computer locks up, give it awhile to see if it will respond before holding in the power button and abruptly shutting off the computer.
•           Don’t ignore backups. Backing up files and documents is one of the biggest things computer users ignore. So if you haven’t already, setup some type of backup. I suggest a cloud or online backup, so your files are safe from theft, fire and other disasters in your home or office. If you aren’t comfortable with online backup, at least set up a backup to an external hard drive.
•           Don’t have an amateur work on your computer. I understand professional computer services aren’t cheap, but they can be well worth it. Having a friend, family member or neighbor help is great for the budget, but if they aren’t a professional, it may end up costing much more money and effort to fix if they end up accidentally causing more damage.
