How to take care of your pc

Pc is 1 of peoples most important thing in life these days, and to take care of your pc you will need some tools and self thought and of course patience.

these are things that will make your pc work smoother and healthier

Once a month you need to do a disk defragment to do so, go to my computer than right click on ya local disk or any other disks click on properties than click on the tools tab than defragment now, click on Analise wait till it's finished, you'll get a message that tells you to defrag or not, if needs to simply click on defrag and wait till it's over.(It might take allot of time, depends on how big and full ya drive is, and it's recommended to do it when you are not busy because it uses allot of CPU and might make your pc slow)

Once a week do a system clean and clear cookies, you can do so by using Ccleaner that's 1 of my favorites, but you can use any. this will clean ya system and of course make ya ram work better.

Once a week do a virus scan, you need a legit and up to date antivirus

Once a month do a system and registry scan to repair or replace damaged system files(ddl, etc)
There is allot on the market, you can try pc tools or Uniblue.

Avoid toolbars, and random download managers

Aditional virus on the C:\

A virus's goal mostly is to damage ya primary drive(master) and make it crash, that's horrible sometimes specially when you have lots of important files in there, I will show you some steps on how to make sure your C: drive or any other are infected

1st you got to open my computer and open C: drive or local disk, than you need to go to start run, type cmd than hit enter c\ than hit enter
Now you need to check the hidden files type in dir /ah than hit enter

i will show you a list of files that are not viruses and has to stay there:
NTDETECT, ntldr, BOOT.BAK, cmldr, CONFIG, IO, MSDOS, pagefile, AUTOEXEC, there are some note pad files and allot of sqm datas, might be some other files depends what you installed on your pc, those are not harmful and must not be deleted.

This is a list of few viruses that infects ya C:\
autorun.inf, NHSIJ.EXE, NHSIJ.SCR, TIUOPU.EXE, TIUOPU.SCR, WCGSWA.EXE.

Of course there is billions of them attacking peoples everyday, if you get any suspicios files you might google them to investigate them, or scan them, or try to delete them manually

4.Type attrib -h -r -s than hit enter
5.you'll notice that now these files are visible in ya local disk, now simply delete them
6.if some can't be deleted you need to find the proses in ya task manager and kill it than try deleting it again
7.If you still have trouble, boot in safe mode and do the same steps to delete
8.if the viruses keeps copying their self's they might be some other place in ya PC so it's recommended to make a clean install(make sure to back up important files)
9.for files that copy their selfs please follow the steps in my previews post '' svchost.exe'' instead of typing svchost.exe you'll need to type the virus name
10. to check ya other disks or usb's, type in for example f: than hit enter or e: or whatever(in command prompt after you've typed c\ than enter)
Make sure to get a full virus scan and system scan to check any damaged files after these removals.
