How to backup your computer (Windows)

On some of the previous tips I have written I mentioned that backing up your computer is important to computer security because when something goes wrong in your computer system you can reinstall windows on your computer to eliminate the problem and use the backup of your computer to restore your files.

Steps:

1) Firstly, download a program called FBackup from the download page from the main page of the blog or click the link below.

2) After running and installing the software problem, click the Backup button, name your backup and select the files that you want to backup on an external hard drive.

3) Afterwards the program will ask: "How do you want to backup?" and select 'make full' and will also prompt you to encrypt the files to which you can decide whether or not if you want a password on your backup.

4) Next, the program will ask: "When do you want to backup?" and select manually as you want to back up the files now and then click save and run.

5) Your computer is now backed up. Enjoy!

3 Easy ways to boost your system performance

Many people have this problem, your computer is just so slow but you don't have the money to upgrade it or to buy another computer. Here are 3 easy ways to boost your system performance for free.

One easy way to boost your system performance is just by updating your system software. By updating your system software you can make the performance of your computer smoother as software updates include security updates, bug fixes and creates effiency within your computer system which ensures a faster and safer experience.

The best way to keep your system sufficiently cooled would be just to allow your computer to "breathe" properly by keeping the fan areas ventilated, cleaning the air fans by removing dust and cutting down the number of programs you are using by task manager.

Lastly you can also downgrade the visual effects in your operating systems control panel as some of the visual effects contribute to overall system usage and by disabling them you can free up some of the system memory that is being used and this will lead to an faster experience.

Most useful add-ons *FIREFOX*

So in one of my last blog posts I talked about some of the types of add-ons to avoid and so this time I will write about the most useful add-on programs that can get for free.

One of the most useful add-on programs that you can get for free that everyone can agree on would be Adblocker as this program blocks most of the advertisements that display on webpages while you are surfing the web. Pretty straightforward, but this does wonders for the overall loading speed of the webpage.

Another useful add-on program would be "Downthemall" this little add-on increases your download speed by 4 times the original and allows you to control your downloads effectively.

And another useful add-on program noscript" adds extra security to your browser while you are browsing the internet as it only allows trusted websites that you have visited before to run executible programs without your consent.

Another thing to note about these add-ons, they are for firefox only!!!
