Seven Must-do Tasks

These are seven simple tasks that should be a must to improve the overall performance of our PC system and security.

1- Cleaning of Data Storage Medium:

Clean the hard disk of all types of junk files. This can be done at night or alongside your daily work. Download CCleaner and install it with standard settings. Subsequently, the tool starts and clears the hard disk of any junk data. You can choose from Windows or applications in the cleaner settings under which there are a range of diverse file options

2- Defragmentation

Defragmentation is a part of hard disk cleaning. The data storage medium cleaning and defragmentation cannot start simultaneously. This is best done at night because you should not work on your PC when defragmentation is in process. Moreover, data fragmentation must not be carried out too frequently. Windows provides its own tool yet I’m not recommend it but it’s just enough and no more. Try the free IOBitSmartDefrag.

3- Virus Scan

The scan should always run in the background; this is provided by almost all virus scanners.
Updates regularly and scan manually at least once a week.

4- Windows Update

Always update the operating system for security and stability reasons.

5- Anti-Spyware

Like the virus scanner, anti-spyware should always run in the background despite a regular updates and weekly manual scan by user.

6- Backup

Avoid crises of hard disk crash with backup that can be run at night.

7- Data Synchronization

Before a meeting, business travelers need not spend two hours on the laptop synchronizing data. Instead, update data regularly.
