COMPUTER MAINTENANCE SCHEDULES FOR PC AND MACS

Back-ups
You should have a back-up plan and stick to it. You can set your computer to automatically back-up files every day or you can do it manually. Use external media like CDs and DVDs, tapes, ZIP drives, and floppy disks and put them in a fire-safe box. If you have a network, make sure you have a back-up server in another location.

Downloads
Be careful about the files and programs you download from the Internet and E-mail messages. Many PCs get run down and crash simply because people are downloading files that carry viruses. Be careful -- you could crash your computer or download something that causes you to lose important files.

TWICE-A-WEEK
Anti-Virus Updates
Most anti-virus software packages don't automatically check for and download anti-virus updates. Once you set up your computer, it will happen several times a day. Most anti-virus manufacturers update their software once a week, unless a big virus makes it necessary to update more often.
EVERY TWO WEEKS
Defragmentation
When you "defrag" your hard drive, you check to make sure everything is working properly and your machine is running at top speed. This is more important for PCs.
Disk Cleanup
On Windows systems, Disk Cleanup deletes old Internet files, temporary files, and other things that clog up your hard disk.
Spyware/Adware RemovalOn Windows systems, Disk Cleanup deletes old Internet files, temporary files, and other things that clog up your hard disk.
Many applications on Windows' computers come with extra programs that benefit advertisers. If you have three or more of these programs on your computer, it slows the machine down. Most of the time, you won't even know Spyware and Adware are running! Make sure you get a Spyware/Adware removal program.
