I was counting on you to help CEans migrate to uBuntu. Maybe you should do a quick guide on why CEans should use uBuntu instead of Windows. I'm quite sure a lot of people use pirated version of the software.Troll_So_HardI have one simplest way --> Use Linux OS 😉
Edit : oops biggie has already mentioned it.

It is a big help and you describe so briefly for me.Since u never use any pirated software, U must be using original copy of windows, so it is better to put updates on automatic so that ur system be secure. Also get Microsoft Security Essentials:
But here is some questions in my mind after reading this.
I don't want to go for uBuntu or Linux and external Pen-Drive / USB flash drive is necessary for me for adding my study material to my PC.
I never use any pirated site or software.
What is the solution for me???

Thanks a lot for your guidance....The_Big_KScanning your computer alone won't improve performance. Performance can be improved through many tweaks. Simply load the AVAST 4.8 antivirus and the interface shows you options to scan the entire computer or just the selected files/folders. You don't have to initiate a scan manually; as long as you've the antivirus running and updated with latest virus definitions, your entire computer should be protected. Any suspicious activity on your computer will be caught automatically and fixed. If the antivirus can't fix the issue; it will quarantine the affected/suspicious file so that it does't do any damage.
A rule of thumb to keep your computer free of viruses is -
However, in order to improve the performance of your computer, you can do the following -
- Never use any external Pen-Drive / USB flash drive on your machine. Malware transfers to your computer if your copy songs or movies from your friend's infected computer to your computer.
- Never download anything from torrent websites or other unauthentic sources. Most viruses usually spread through torrent programs. Also visit only the trustworthy websites. I don't see any other reason a computer will get affected.
I hope this helps. If you have more questions, feel free to ask.
- Clean up unwanted software.
- Remove unnecessary processes and stop the unwanted services.
- Keep your operating system and your regular files (photos, videos, documents) on separate partitions.
- Use the 'original', 'non-pirated' operating system and other software. If you can't afford it, switch over to uBuntu. We've die-hard uBuntu fans who'll help you make a switch.
- Buy more RAM if you can and if your computer's motherboard supports.
