PC Tips Tweaks and Maintenance

Learn to maintain your computer!

How? Who do you trust? Where do you start?

To be completely honest, my grandfather told me 3 words when I was young “Trust no one”. Smart old man. So I asked what about Grandma? His answer was listen to your Grandma, she has experience. He also said “learn so you can check it yourself”.

So let’s get right down to it. Who do you trust: someone with experience - but learn and check it yourself. You should be able to verify what you learn.

Now, I will add something to that:

Trust yourself. Get the tools and learn. Take advice from someone with experience and use and expand upon that advice. If the advice is good, you can prove it and you know you can get more advice from the same source.

I know you are tired of shelling out money. So am I.

I hate spending money; especially with no guarantees.

So here is the first step:

Download the “PC Tips Tweaks and Maintenance Free Edition” guide.

Read it - Print it - TRY it.

If it helps you - SHARE it. Most of the tools referred to in it are also free.

You only lose time if you don’t like it.

If you do like it and want more, come back here and get the “PC Tips Tweaks and Maintenance Pro Edition”. With it you will be able to handle many of the most common problems plaguing computer users and have the ability to help others.

The good thing about this process is that you will already have used my FREE document in order to evaluate my assistance.

As I said, I taught and wrote myself out of business. This information WILL help you to manage your computer on your own without needing a computer geek to overcharge you.

Most people don’t have the time or the knowledge to properly test software and end up just trusting what they get or whatever they see advertised most. Both of these are very big computing mistakes.

Trusting what you get:

The software that comes “bundled” with your computer is usually the cheap junk that the hardware company made great deals to promote or is crippled or time limited in some way.

Buying what you see advertised most:

You get a big name, but do you get the best product? The answer is a flat and honest NO. The big names are often bloated software written by lazy programmers just showing up to work for their 9 to 5 pay. You will find hacks to all of them on the net and a novice can bypass your big name security. These big companies don’t care if you get a virus, they make money off it and that is enough. If you get a virus that your antivirus did not detect because it is not updated often enough what do you do? Will the company help you free of charge to clean up your computer? No chance! You call some computer store or computer geek and pay to get it cleaned up and then put the same piece of junk software back on that let the virus in. The problem with stores and computer geeks is they know they have you over a barrel. What do you know? What guarantee do you have they won’t just wipe your computer tossing all your data using a simple restore disk and charge you excessively?

Another problem with the big name bloatware is that they seem to think they know more than the guys who wrote your operating system and the guys who write the virus, spyware, etc. This is a very big problem as they will try to take over certain aspects of the operating system causing problems and major slow downs due to being complete resource hogs. Thinking you know more than the malicious software creators is extremely dangerous as you only have your 9 to 5 teams but the malicious software writers are in huge unknown numbers that grow daily.

What about the smaller guy you see advertising his product advertised on the net? The ones who give you a “free” scan? Don’t waste your time, I have tested many of them and most miss important problems and give false negatives and then use scare tactics to get you to buy. How many times have you seen: “You are at RISK, you have ___ problems and they MUST be fixed ASAP, click here to activate/purchase, etc” or some similar thing? Ignore these sharks; they just want your money.

You must be tired of shelling out money for a computer, the operating system, the internet, the software…

Do you think Bill Gates cares that you keep spending money because his programmers wrote an OS that has too many holes and is bloated and crashes when you sneeze? Not a chance! Have you ever read any of the EULA (End User License Agreement)? You have NO guarantees! You are the one who is giving guarantees – not to copy, reverse compile, etc. If you use the software and it crashes your computer, scraps your data, burns your house down and kills your dog, it is your problem.

So now you have the straight bad news. What can you do about it?

Next: Learn to maintain your computer!

Microsoft Windows is the most used operating system in the world.

It is also the most attacked and one of the most vulnerable and troublesome operating systems.

I have been a computer consultant for over 15 years. I have been using computers since before MS DOS and got on the Internet when it was only government, schools and geeks.

I have made quite a lot of money supporting users of Microsoft products, right from DOS up through Windows XP – I suggest avoiding Vista if you can, but that is another article.

Over the years of supporting home users and businesses I have found that most problems can be avoided with simple instructions, free software and a little time regularly following the instructions.

To be honest I taught and wrote myself out of business. Many of my old clients no longer need any help, and just contact me for updates and advice on new purchases. They no longer experience the problems that plague most users.

Why am I telling you this? Do I have a big ego and need to show off?

I’ll answer the second question first. No ego involved, I don’t care what people think of me. I do what I think is right and let people deal with it however they want.

Now, to the first question: Why?

I think people should be able to use their computers without slow downs, constant crashing, worrying about this virus, that spyware, etc.
