Spyware and Adware Removal and Scanning Maintenance

It is recommended that all students update and run Ad-aware and Spybot regularly to ensure the continued good "health" of their personal computers.  Spyware and adware can slow down the operation of a computer, as well as expose your personal information to the scrutiny of others.

Environment

Surge suppressors help in protecting your computer and other electronic equipment from damaging electrical "spikes".  A UPS (uninterrupted power source) can not only protect from spikes but voltage dips (brown-outs) as well or even a total loss of power.

Disk utilities and defragmentation software can go a long way towards increasing the speed of your computer and protecting the integrity of your data.  To find out more about tune ups, visit our Resources/FAQ's page.
