Have a new computer, Make sure to do this!
Reply
You have brought that new computer home. Now after you have unpacked it, and began setting it up for use. your ready to take it for a spin on the internet highway. But wait, hold on there. So much of us never think about the security of our computer. Then when things go array, we want to blame the computer.
Recovery media, is called this for a reason, should the hard drive ever fail, you will still have a copy of the operating system.
Windows 8 offers you several ways, depending on the manufacture.
Each computer system is different, some allow you to make what are known as recovery discs. These consist of transferring your operating system(OS) onto three DVDs.
To set up transfer of the OS(Operating System) bring up the charm bar.
In the search field type “Control Panel” from here click on “recovery” to get started.
We are going to be using a 16GB Thumb Drive to create our recovery Media
See title (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
After you click on Recovery there are three options before you. We are going to choose for this operation “Create a Recovery Drive” After you make your choice, Click the bottom tab marked “Next” then insert the thumb drive and the partition will be transferred to the USB Drive.
The link below will give you some other options to choose from also.
The next step is to protect your investment by protecting it with software. The Internet is just full of programs that want you to believe they can make your computer run faster. That is not the case. Only more memory or a faster Processor.
One of the first programs that you want to install is a good Anti-Virus, if you are a Home User, there is free Anti-virus for you to use.
I have provided you some choices.
Some of these are AVG, ZoneAlarm, and Avast.
To get to the AVG Website click on the link below:
http://free.avg.com/us-en/homepage
To download Avast’s Free Anti-Virus click on the link below
http://www.avast.com/en-us/index
After downloading you will prompted to get a license from Avast. This only takes a few minutes.
ZoneAlarm comes with Firewall and Anti-virus.
Click on the link below for their website:
http://www.zonealarm.com/security/en-us/home.htm
The next thing we want to look at is FoxitReader. This is a PDF(portable document format) that you can use in place of Adobe Reader. FoxitReader has been in the business for along time. The link below will get you to their website.

Stay away from PC cleaner, Optimizer pro the list goes on and on. There is so much garbage out there you have to be extra careful, so if you find something make sure you check what type of problems previous users have had with that program.
Looking for a Registry Cleaner then look no further then Ccleaner.
Below is a link to their website.
http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner
Next would be to find a Anti-Malware program.
The best in the business for getting rid of Malware is MalwareBytes.

To keep your computer from bots, there is a program put out by Safer-Networking.org Spybot: Search and Destroy.
Below is a link to their Website

Let’s not forget to use Mozilla Firefox as our browser

Using these items will keep your computer safe and secure.

Printers can bring you a lot of joy, you can print so many things, including greeting cards, things you find on the internet, however when things go bad, it may be hard to figure out what the problem could be. Let’s say your printer isn’t working, you can’t get it to print. First you try the disk but, for whatever reason, you get nothing. The next step is get on the internet, go to the website that is the printer’s manufacturer.
Be it Acer, Gateway, E-machine, Dell, HP, or Apple. You should also be able to find the manual should you need one at the same place. So, once you get to the website, say HP, you will be asked the model of the printer, after you type this in, you have the choice of 32 or 64 bit, how do you know which one you have? Below is link of an article I wrote on this subject.
Once you have determined if it is 32 or 64, click Next, this will give you the download for the driver, if you want the manual, if you look to the top where you see “User Guide“and this will take to the right page. Now, let’s say your printing however, the print is sporadic, it prints the first two lines, however, the third line is missing. Windows 8 users will need to go to the search bar, and type in device and printers or move mouse to the bottom left corner, right-click on control panel and then go to devices and printers.
For apple users click the link below:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4670
The next step is to go to the control panel, devices and printers, Locate your printer, right-click on printer icon, move down where you see printing Preferences, here you have the option to choose either portrait or Landscape. Click on tab “paper Quality”, move down where you see media, click tab, to either “plain paper fast draft quality or plain paper best quality.” click apply and OK. This should fix any print from missing from the text on the paper. If this doesn’t work you may have to replace your ink cartridge.
