Desktop Care

In general your desktop computer should be easy to operate and pretty low maintenance. Here are a few simple tips for keeping it in great working order:

• Keep food and liquids away from your desktop. If you do spill, shut it off and unplug from its power source.
• Don’t roll over the power cord with your office chair. Tape the cord to your desk or to the wall.
• Have your laptop professionally cleaned once a year to remove internal dust.
• Virus and spyware software is a good investment.
• Run a defragmentation program.
• Back up your hard drive externally, just incase.
• Do NOT use cleaners, such as Windex, that contain ethyl alcohol, ammonia, acetone, ethyl acid or methyl chloride to clean your monitor.
