5 Simple Tips for keeping computer repairs to the minimum.

1. Use anti virus software and update regularly. Your protection is only as good as your last update -- once a month is not enough, you can configure your software to update every few days

2.Use computer patches. A patch is a quick fix repair for your computer and is often  when software  is not working or a problem with an install. When downloaded the repair should solve the problem

3.Use a firewall.The firewall is the barrier between your computer and the internet. it is estimated that it takes 20minutes to invade an unprotected computer and the faster your connection speed the higher your risk. Routers have inbuilt firewalls.

4. Be careful about opening email and IM.The danger of attached worms and Trojans  in emails is well known. Doesn't even need a double click -- the worm can download if you open in the preview pane. IM is equally dangerous and worms can be hiding in the link of a friendly note " Hi look at these pictures Always check with the sender before clicking.

5.Be very careful if you use P2P and distributed file sharing. Kazaa, Edonkey, Fasttrack etc. These networks are an easy way for worm invasion, very often a file is not checked before a recipient sends it out to his own network. Make sure you check yours.
