Windows Safety

How can you keep your computer safe if you walk away from it?  Here are some steps you can take:

• Enable and use a lock screen.  You can set up your computer to lock after a set period of time, or manually with pressing Win+L.
• Keep your machine in a safe place.  Lock the room you keep your computer in, if possible and don't leave it unattended in public places.  You can also get a physical lock for it.
• Secure your Wi-Fi.  Wi-Fi is an easy way for neighbors or passersby to gain access to your data.  

It might be something you never thought about, but keeping your data secure starts with keeping your computer safe and non-accessible to others.

You may not even think about it, but as you surf the internet on your computer, you pick up things that can slow your computer down.  A quick, easy way to optimize you system is to download a program called Ccleaner, you can download it here for free.

Ccleaner has been around for a long time and is trusted by millions.  You can expect a slightly faster computer, fewer errors & crashes, and a quicker start-up.
