Here are five ways you can make sure you can keep your computer healthy...




Number 1:
Clean the peripherals

     Computers tend to build up large amounts of dust that can effect the sensitivity of a mouse or your keyboard. It can also clog up the fan which can cause overheating which may shutdown your computer abruptly which may destroy unsaved data. 

      

Number 2:
Don't overload outlets
As simple as it sounds it is a very important rule as it can impact the lifetime of your computer. Overloaded outlets can short-circuit computers and other items connected to that outlet. Make sure that you separate different your computer from other pieces of technology.  Computers takes up a large amount of energy so if you have your T.V and computer on at the same time the outlet may overload. Always keep pieces of technology confined to their own outlet to ensure that they are safe from short-circuiting.  

Number 3:
Updates
A mostly overlooked task as some people find it annoying to have to manually update everything, every time they need to. Problem is, leaving programs in-updated such as anti-virus programs may leave your computer vulnerable. 



Number 4:
Corrupted USB drives 
Corrupt files are a hassle as they impede on your work because you can't access said work. So when pulling a USB from it's socket make sure you disconnect it via the computer instead of just tugging it out right after transferring files. 


Number 5:
Viruses
Malware has been a nuisance for all pieces of technology for several years now and may never be fully dealt with. Due to problems malware and viruses face to your computers it is always best to take persuasions  when going around the internet. One ways is by making sure that you have an activated antivirus program to counter any possible viruses that attack. Just to make sure that nothing attacks your computer, you should always make sure the links and urls you click can be trusted.
