I often have home based business operators tell me they need a new computer, as their current one is running as ‘slow as a dog’! Sometimes they upgrade their hard drive, CPU, RAM or even the whole motherboard and they are still not happy with the results.
Perhaps the first thing you should do is to check out your spyware through such a program as Spybot. This is by far the cheapest solution as Spyware could be sending information from your computer to an unknown third party. It can actually hijack your internet connections and because it is using up your computer’s capacity in the background, it slows everything down.
You do not even know this is happening and therefore need to have Spybot (or similar) to protect your computer. If you have a paid for Virus protector, they most likely include an anti spyware system. If you do not know if they have such a system included, it is advisable to check with them. Spybot is free and can be found here.
You also have to be so aware of Viruses. They are so prevalent on games and music downloads and can literally destroy information on your computer. Even with good antivirus protectors, a virus can still sneak in and you should NEVER allow downloads of music and games on your business computer. A good free antivirus software is Microsoft Security Essentials as it is not so likely to affect other downloads you may wish to use.
If you are having trouble downloading other software, it could be because of the Virus software you are using. Some operators turn off the virus protector until they download the software, then restart the virus protector. This is not a good solution. Your software protector should offer you an option to accept software from an unknown source.
As well as spyware and virus protection, when you are building your website there are many additions you will make to both your hardware and software components and you must keep a record so that you will not forget essential elements in case your computer looses the hard drive. First ensure that you back up your data every week to another location e.g. a hard drive, disc or a server (if you have one). This can save so much stress and misery if the problem does occur.
To keep an accurate and up to date record of both your hardware and software there is software that automatically analyses the physical components and lists what software you have on your computer at any given time (including your keys, which is essential to have if you ever have to re-install software). It even gives you a score showing the effectiveness of your security measures. None of your information is recorded outside of your own computer, making this a very secure program. You can access it for free from here.
viruses can be a complete nightmare for the average home computer user, so when it comes to business computers you need to up the anti and be extra vigilant. downtime might lose you customers and in turn money, which is never good. unfortunately there will always be a threat but at least by following these tips we can minimise the consequences should it happen.
