							How Anti-Virus Keeps Your Computer From Crashing

I'll be the first to admit I did not know much about computers.I always
thought when you got a computer it came with everything you needed.What I
didn't know was that you always need an anti-virus on your computer to
keep it from crashing.My computer of course came with that,but I did not
know after a certain length of time you have to pay to renew it.

I always thought the terminally on a computer was strange.Things like
anti-virus,checking the cookies,The mouse,seemed crazy to me.Well after I
found out that I had been running my computer with no anti-virus program
I didn't know what to do.My husband and I are on a fixed income so I
couldn't really afford to buy anything else for the computer.It took me
years to save up to get this computer.I never expected you could get
something at no cost to you.I found out that there are many free sites to
get a anti-virus program.

A lot of these sites let you download the anti- virus protection for
free.That was right up my alley,free! Well after I downloaded it I had to
figure out next how to use it.I am not really swift on a computer.I
learned that I just hit the button that says start scanning and the anti-
virus program scans everything and tells me if my computer has any
viruses on it.I also learned you should not put a lot of things on your
computer you really don't have to have on it.I love music so I would
download a lot of my favorite songs on my computer.

That way when I get on my computer I can play my favorite songs.I did not
know that slowed your computer down.I also loved to play games on the
computer such as bingo or slots.I sure found out pretty quickly that not
only can you lose your money fast,downloading those sites could have
caused problems on my computer.I was told that the anti-virus program
protects my computer from sites like those.After I was told I really
didn't need those kind of things on my computer I went to my add and
delete program and delete them.

My computer actually started to run faster after I did that.I also go to
run and type in cookies and clear everything out of it.It would be to
easy for someone out there who knows how to hack into peoples computers
to get my personal information.Identity theft is also a big concern these
days.I really trust my anti-virus program to protect me from such things
as identity theft but I have to do my part also.

I need to be careful about putting my social security number over the
computer,or most important my credit card number or my banking
information.So remember to be smart about those kind of things and try to
use your anti-virus program at least twice a week.
