Here are a few tips that I recommend for those of you who use your PC / Laptop / Notebook on a regular basis for Internet work or surfing :

1 - Ensure you have the `Updates for Microsoft` switched on, as these frequently are sent out, and are worth installing, even if you only select a few that are relevant to the software you use.

2 - Completely switch off your machine every week on one selected night, so that all the components can fully cool off : this WILL make a difference in both the performance and life of the machine.

3 - Do use different software for security : maybe one Anti-virus package, and another for `Spyware / Malware / other` : separate software usually perform better than one `This does everything`.

4 - Regularly, several times a week, check your Internet Browser software for updates : Some browsers do this automatically, others you just need to check.

Hope this is helpful to some of you.
