3 Things to do after purchasing a new computer

1) Uninstall all of the "bloatware" on your new computer, new computers usually have fast performance so you will usually not notice the decrease in system performance in the short-run, but system performance will suffer in the long run. "Bloatware" on a new computer would be programs that come installed with the computer.

2) Install anti-virus software IMMEDIATELY it is vital that you add protection to your new computer as it is better to be safe than sorry. Just get it out of the way quickly and you won't have to worry about viruses in the future. A recommended anti-virus program would be Avast.

3) Backup your system on a CD. If a virus strikes and you have no way of fixing the problem without bringing your computer to a computer repair shop the usual solution is just to wipe your whole hard-drive and your system will be operational again.
