Best Tech Tip

Joe Hatch's Survival Skills talk today was far more enlightening than I anticipated. Not until he began talking did I truly realize how little I knew about how computer viruses are spread, much less how to protect my own computer. Although Mr. Hatch mentioned several ways to protect your computer or make it more efficient, the best information I received today was about the program CClean, and more importantly, how it can benefit my own computer. Even though I use a Mac and CClean does not directly apply to my situation, I was able to use Google to find an alternative program, similar to CClean but for Macs, that would ultimately have the same result. I ended up finding a number of different ways to try and speed up my computer, along with the basics of how to reset the cache, empty the cookies file, and get rid of other unnecessary temp files. After just a few clicks, I was able to see a huge difference in the speed at which my computer worked!
