If your computer is running slower than usual all of a sudden and you haven’t installed a bunch of programs on it lately, your computer may be infected. Infected computers must be repaired immediately or the infection may spread. A Trojan virus is a common infection that disguises itself as an interesting computer file, such as “music. wave file” on the computer of a user who may be into music. The Trojan horse virus isn’t going to spread to other files, but it will cause your computer to be susceptible to vicious intruders by giving them complete access to your files. This type of virus is very dangerous to your computer’s protection as well as your personal privacy.

The best way to check if your computer is indeed infected is to run an anti-virus/anti-spyware scanner. Actually it is recommended to run several virus scanners to be certain what one anti-virus/anti-spyware program missed, the other one catches. Unfortunately there isn’t a retail anti-virus/anti-spyware multi scanner program available for sale. A computer repair professional should have multi virus scanners that they can run to check and remove every single infection on your computer. Virus removal services can cost anywhere from £100 to £175. It is expensive but it beats buying a new computer.

To prevent your computer from becoming infected it is extremely crucial to be certain your computer has anti-virus/anti-spyware protection. These programs can be bought from retail outlets anywhere from £20.00 to £49.99. And if you have two or three computers, you can spend a little more for three licenses to run the program on your extra computers. You should run the anti-virus/anti-spyware virus scan three times a week, but if you surf the net on a daily basis, then you should increase the virus scan to five times a week. The anti-virus/anti-spyware program can be set to automatically scan your computer files anytime of the day. Also, watching what website you visit and what is being downloaded to your computer is another great way to prevent a computer infection.

Now if your computer does become infected, don’t panic. The first thing to do is run your anti-virus/anti-spyware program. If the infection isn’t a serious one, the program will catch it and give you the option to delete it. But if the infection is a really nasty one, more than likely the program may only be able to quarantine it for you. Quarantine is still good because the infection can no longer harm your computer.

Viruses are out there waiting to attack, but if you implement the tips in the above paragraphs your computer will be less likely to become the next cyber victim.

The fight for the planet is on. It is now fully proven, undeniably, evident that the earth is fighting for its life. During its short but deadly lifespan, human civilization has managed to place a devastating strain on the planet’s resources and health.

It is now our duty to reverse this ill effect, even though it may be too late. There are thousands of ways people can contribute to the cause: from taking on older techniques such as recycling paper to utilizing newer technologies like fuel-efficient cars. I’d like to concentrate on one specific way through which people can help the planet- recycling computer equipment.

Throwing away used networking hardware, monitors, hard drives, routers, RAM, webcams, batteries or anything of the like can have a devastating effect if the equipment ends up in our landfills.

From nysscpa.org:
Most of the environmental concerns with computers lie with the monitor, specifically its cathode ray tube (CRT). Each color monitor contains, on average, four to five pounds of lead, considered hazardous waste when disposed of, according to EPA standards. Computers also contain other hazardous materials, including mercury, cadmium (a known carcinogen), and hexavalent chromium (shown to cause high blood pressure, iron-poor blood, liver disease, and nerve and brain damage in animals).

One way to get rid of old computer equipment is to donate it to one of the many non-profit organizations that will accept it. Many local schools and non-profits could greatly benefit from your old computer equipment. Two sites to help you donate are sharetechnology.org and cristina.org.

If you believe that your equipment is beyond repair or reuse, one option for disposal is the full dismantling of the hardware. Many hardware manufacturers, such as Dell, Apple and HP, provide their own programs to dismantle and recycle old equipment. You can visit each of their respective sites to find out how these programs work.

The final option is to seek out a reputable hardware recycling or asset recovery program online. One problem with the current computer sales environment is that consumers are goaded too frequently to buy upgraded or better computer hardware. This cycle creates more waste on the other end when the old equipment model is ‘kicked out of the house’ by the younger model.

Much of the time, experienced hardware professionals may actually be able to repair or salvage your old equipment. Instead of buying new equipment, you can save money and the environment by repairing, reusing, and recycling your hardware. There are several online vendors that will pay top dollar for your used cisco, dell, apple, HP, or any brand name computer hardware. This creates an ‘eco-system’ for computer hardware that benefits the planet instead of harming it.

Some of these vendors provide repair and recycling services to resell the refurbished computer equipment at a lower price. In turn, businesses and consumers can then purchase a refurbished cisco or refurbished juniper router, dell server or mac powerbook at a discounted price. The key to this cycle is no new equipment needs to be manufactured, and in turn create additional waste.

Many citizens, cities, consumers and corporations still do not know how to properly dispose of computer equipment, even though it has become so commonplace. It is integral that this ‘know-how’ become common knowledge.
