Today I will tell you some tips on downloading songs, pictures, software, documents, ect.
1.) Toolbars!!!!. Ughh I cant stress enough on those awful things, toolbars actually cause alot of problems on your computer, one example is the my websearch toolbar. Whenever you download a program or software or even an update, be sure to not just hit the next key right away. Take time to look and see that your not getting an optional "free toolbar". Toolbar seem like a good idea but in reality they cause more damage than good, some even contain trojans.
2.) Be cautious of what you download, too many free anti-spyware will actually give viruses and popups. Look around and see what the best programs are and stick that one only. Remember if its too flashy and appeling to the eyes then the chances are that its not doing its job.
3.) When opening a picture/video in any website, make sure it takes you to that domain and not a popup that says open picture or download picture, any web supported pic or video should'nt require a download.
4.) GAMES!!! Some game may be fun but never download them, because then they will want you to buy a package and the game itself will just take up space in your hard-drive. Besides if you can play it on the web there is no point in downloading it.
5.) And finally false advertisements. They are flashy and look real at times but keep in mind that even the most simple thing that should be free always comes with a catch. Dont get some 3-D wallpaper because it looks "cool", you dont need it. Those kind of screen savers and wallpaper sites are loaded with harmful viruses and slow up your processors speed, therefor making your computer slow and useless.
Thanks for reading and if you have any comments just send me a messege.
