Best Tech Tip (6)

In Tuesday's class, Joe Hatch gave us a leature about useful computer informations. I never knew that Cisco Clean Access is so important. It prevents the virus from spreading through the school network. He also told us that Sofos AntiVirus is a very good antivirus software and but it works poorly on my computer. Sofos always has trouble working together with the Norton Security on my computer. I also learned that TU Guest is slower and less safer than TU Secure and If something happens to my computer, I can turn to “Support Services” for help.
Windows and Mac are fully supported in campus. Virus, hardware, software…. Literatelly every thing can slow down your computer.
When you browse, the cookies, history records, etc will accumulate and you need to clean them regularly. CCleaner is a good software to clean those junk files mentioned above. Disk Defragmenter can make all fragment files continuous and help your computer run faster. It just takes forever when you run it the first time. NSS security, a website tests the security level of the browsers. Unfortunately, the firefox I use is not so safe as I expected.

  1. Well, I don't recommend running two different anti-viruses...pick one. It'll work better.
