Do you experience slowdowns, lockups, and or frequent shutdowns? Your PC or Laptop could be experiencing heat stroke… Time to take the side off that computer and blow some dust out of that bad boy! Lifehacker has a great article which explains how to protect your computer from overheating.

From The article How to Prevent Your Computer from Overheating (and Why It’s Important)

“Why an Overheated Computer Is Dangerous

Simply put, if your computer becomes too hot, it is possible to destroy and shorten the lifespan of the hardware inside your computer, leading to irreparable damage and potential data loss. Besides losing your data, heat pecks away at your computer’s internal organs—the motherboard, CPU, and more—significantly shortening its lifespan.”

How many times have we heard “But I have an Antivirus program running, why am I getting infected?” Most people don’t understand that there is a difference between Viruses, Trojans, Worms, and Malware.

From The article (What’s the Difference Between Viruses, Trojans, Worms, and Other Malware?)

“The point of today’s lesson, of course, is to help you teach your friends and family more about the different types of malware, and debunk a few of the common myths about viruses. Who knows, maybe you’ll learn a thing or two as well.”
