AND WITH THAT LAST QUESTION ... I WILL ALSO ... "END IT ALL"
This does NOT mean you can relax and take it easy! You now have the perfect chance
to catch
up and revise ALL the Computer Clinics (a full list is in the Library at the end of every
Computer Clinic page) And please don't forget what I taught you in Clinic 2- how to save
all your Computer Clinics as a single file onto your hard drive. As insurance, you can
then save them all onto a floppy (the full "how to" is in Clinic 8)
Make sure you check for Ad-aware Updates using the "Adaware Updater" program and check for
Viral Updates very regularly.
Remember to give your computer weekly doses of good medicine using the routine detailed at
the end of Clinic 18 and after a month of PC use, not only do the full MOT routine, but
also give your hard drive a Defrag. The way to do this correctly is fully explained in
Clinic 20
May I wish all my PC patients (and their human owners) the Compliments of the Season !
Happy, Safe and Enjoyable Computing!
With my very best wishes ...
