By:


With advancing technology and product inventions, we humans have unintentionally created alternate jobs and businesses. Such businesses are support and service based, mostly. One such invention that requires a lot of support and service is the computer and arguably it is one of the biggest support based businesses on the planet. Each day, newer products are being launched be it the hardware or the software sections and each day, those products report a new problem. Moreover with softwares, it is this beta testing stage that allows the user to handle the product, offer feedback and then finally it is launched in the market (for free or otherwise). It is also a great advertising and marketing strategy of such software companies.

PC Troubles that Bug Us

The advanced computer user might know this, but for novices out there, did you know that your PC may give you troubles whose reasons are beyond the troubles created by agents known as viruses? There is much difference between a virus, adware, spyware and spam. A spam maybe a source of all these three! Common PC problems that almost every user faces are:

PC slowing Down
Programs taking ages to open
Multitasking ability of the system seems to diminish over a time period
Unwanted (and unknown) background running of applications, hindering with your normal PC functioning

Most of the troubles mentioned here are quite general in nature and everyone must have faced either one or all of these problems when handling computers. There are many reasons that can be attributed to the improper functioning of your system. It maybe the fact that one is using a pirated OS; The problem with illegal software is that hackers and crackers can easily spread viruses, spywares, bugs and bots on your PC as it is easily accessible to them.

How to Counter such Problems?

The best way to counter such problems is to use only original software for your PC. Another important thing is to use the internet carefully. It so happens that often unknowingly we click on links that seem harmless; since it is not actively visible, some programs get activated on clicking and therefore may install some harmful data at the background that in turn can become a base for viruses, bugs and bots to enter your PC, therefore harming it and even collecting (read: stealing) important data from your system. Along with anti-virus programs, you must take the pains of installing some firewall programs (the in-built OS firewall might not be 100% proof), some anti-spyware and anti-malware programs on your system. These programs will scan and filter out any seemingly or potentially dangerous file from your PC that can in turn act as a safe haven for viruses and other unauthorized programs. Most of the viruses come from internet and therefore you should always try to use clean sites as much as possible. Programs such as Spybot, Norton, McAfee Internet Securities, Ad-Aware are worth a try for both the novice and advanced users.
