There’s A Lot More To Spring Cleaning Your Computer Than Just Blowing Out The Dust.

Providing maintenance and security updates on client websites is something I do daily. Unfortunately I do not have the resources to give the same services to the computers in my client offices. There’s just no way to adequately emphasize how important it is to keep up with security on your own machine.  Dusting off the cobwebs and doing maintenance on my computers is something I do way more often than I service my car. I have a laptop and a spare workstation and although a good bit slower than my main workstation I’ve had to fall back on them a time or 2 when something goes wrong. I try to go through the procedure at least every 3 months by and checking all my security settings and cleaning out any programs or utilities I don’t use or need anymore. My 2 most used weapons of choice are Vipre Internet Security runs continuously in the background protecting me from viruses and malware. CCleaner is a disk cleanup tool that helps find unused junk lying around and after I get through with it I throw in a little optimizing with the Windows Defrag tool. This annual “Spring Cleaning” reminder from Vipre gives pretty complete instructions for the procedure I use and I heartily recommend everyone going through this at least on an annual basis if not sooner.

I live in the northern-most region of the Texas Hill Country and I'm the only full-time web designer in central Texas working exclusively with the WordPress platform to power your websites. When I'm not working for clients, I spend my time blogging about some of my favorite things including food, wine, travel, lodging, real estate, entertainment, public events, and more recently- politics in the Texas Hill Country and Central Texas.

Call me at
325-647-6066
and ask how I can improve your website or build you a new one.

All the websites I build are 100% responsive, meaning they are easily navigable on smartphones and other mobile devices as well as desktop computers.
