Rex Lee Reynolds Difficult for some of us to believe but they are around, those people who don't use a computer a lot if at all. And if they do they expect it to work perfectly all the time. I was at a friend's house the other day who is one of these people. Well, she does have a computer, and does use it, but isn't familiar with even the basics of keeping it in good running condition. She never turns it off or restarts it in order to refresh the system resources, never does any maintenance on it, and when she uses it manages to mess things up so badly that it would seem to any normal PC user that she's a complete terrorist. Those of us with more experience know that the things need maintenance, just like people do. When my friend had sent me the note about her computer, I knew the feeling, things were going fine for a long time, then weird stuff started happening to my relatively new PC. With so many multitasking things happening in a PC it seems normal that something could go wrong once in a while, but it was hard to believe how many things do go wrong. I looked around and found Registry Mechanic by PCTools. It fixed hundreds of things on my machine in just a few minutes, and I use it regular to keep my PC running good. I'm amazed at all the problems it fixes, things that shouldn't happen in an operating system but nevertheless do. Then I started using cookie management as described below, and found another program from PCTools that's great for keeping predators out of my PC. I love Spyware Doctor and the way it quickly locates and illiminates unneeded junk that gets into the PC from visited websites. Thanks to Registry Mechanic and Spyware Doctor I have much healthier PCs. Keeping uninvited guests out of your PC - Most of us have done it. It's so easy to just start having fun with our new PC that we forget an important part of keeping our exciting new machine healthy.  Sure, there's all those helpful maintenance programs, many of them that run automatically every so often and give us the impressive diagnostic test results.  But most the time we don't stop to think how many people are inside our machine and what they are doing in there. Then after a while we notice all kinds of things popping up on our screen, things we didn't ask for, and we wonder just who is in charge of our PC, us or some one else? And the fact is there are a lot of someone else's in there slurping up our private information. They're keeping track of where we go on the web, what we do when we get there and how we do it. We all know what cookies are but most of us don't stop to take the time to seriously manage what cookies to allow onto our PCs.  We need cookies to allow our favorite sites to remember us, so we can easily log in and do the things we want, like shopping, chatting with friends and many other useful things. But we can be astounded to find that everybody and their dogs have cookies on our machines for purposes of seeing what we are doing every day, so they can sell the information to ad companies and so forth. Running an anti-virus program such as Spyware Doctor from PC Tools can result in the deletion of many of the unwanted cookies. But with just a little thinking ahead we can avoid having all those hundreds of unwanted programs on our machines in the first place. It's really quite easy to turn on the cookie management utility in windows that will notify us when a website wants to put a cookie on our PC, rather than just allowing everyone and their brother to collect information on us without us even knowing, and in some cases put harmful and destructive programs on our machines. It only takes a minute or so to set it up, and a second or two to accept or reject what we want and don't want, and it provides a lot of security and peace of mind. When in I.E. (Internet Explorer) click on "Tools" at the top.  Then click on "Internet Options," "Privacy" and "Advanced." When you see "Advanced Privacy Settings" click the checkbox that says, "Override automatic cookie handling." Select "Prompt" for First party and third party cookies, and click OK. Now go to your favorite website and you will notice that you will see a message telling you that this website is requesting to put a cookie on your machine. For your favorite sites that you use a lot like social networking etc. you will want to accept the cookie, so you will be able to easily logon in the future. You may also see messages from third parties that want to collect information, which you can easily block. For sites you don't visit often and don't want them tracking your information you can reject the cookies. When doing this it's amazing to find how many cookies that have been automatically going onto your machine that you probably didn't want. It does take a little time to manage the cookies you allow onto your machine, but it's well worth the time. And there are worse things than tracking cookies. I recently noticed HeurEngine.Flash on my machine, an infection that Spyware Doctor picked up and cleaned. It seemed that I kept getting it again after it was cleaned, and it turned out that I was getting it when going onto Twitter with the Internet Explorer browser. When switching to the Google Chrome browser it solved the problem. I could use Twitter all I wanted without getting the HuerEngine.Flash infection on my machine. I could not find a definition of what the infection was or what it did other than Spyware Doctor listing it as medium to high risk. And I was disappointed that McAfee virus scan didn't  detect it. And sure, I did upgrade to I.E. 9 when reminded to do so, but found that it did not work at all. Thanks Microsoft. Switching to Google Chrome browser is a bit of an adjustment but well worth it to have more piece of mind, knowing I don't have some weird infection from the social networking sites coming onto my machine all the time.
