General Tips

Pop-Up Blocker

You can go here to download a free program that will block most of the annoying pop-up ads you get while surfing around on the internet. This is a must if you don't have anything already.

Removing Hidden Programs

Hidden programs can track your movement around the internet, open popups to look like they are from the site you are visiting (to steal traffic) and many other things. A good, free program to get rid of a lot of this is available here. After you are at that page, click to download from Tucows.

You can run this program every couple of months or any time you think you might have something on your computer. You should be able to safely delete whatever problems it finds without any trouble.

Protecting Yourself On High Speed

If you are using high speed access you need to protect yourself. If you are on dialup you do not need to worry about this. Zone Alarm is the leading program you can download and it is available for free here.

BE WARNED! Zone alarm will ask you about every program that tries to access the internet and if you say no when it asks then that program won't be able to gain access. On the positive side, you really don't have to worry too much about what programs you let have access because the main purpose of installing Zone Alarm is to stop hackers from having free access to your computer. Novices should be warned though
