Over many years of fixing computers for clients and family members, I have observed all kinds of ways that people manage to wreck their computers. So today we are going to go over 5 of the easiest ways to destroy your precious computer and how to avoid these common mistakes.

People and computers are similar - they can both get infected if not taken care of properly. Let´s meet Jenkins*. He is a bad example. Jenkins eats junk food every day, drinks only soft drinks, never showers, and never visits a dentist or doctor. If he continues in this behaviour, how long do you think he will remain in good health? Probably not too long. The same is true for your computer.

Besides not taking care of his body, Jenkins has also destroyed his computer in these 5 ways:

Mistake #1: Clicking on Advertisements

A free iPod! A $500 gift card! A new computer! How could Jenkins resist not clicking these ads? These ads will often link to websites that can install software on your computer without your knowledge. After a while, this software will start slowing down your computer and it sometimes may even contain viruses or malware!

Mistake #2: Visiting Dark Corners of the Internet

The next bad thing Jenkins did was visit websites located in the darker corners of the Internet. There are places on the Internet where websites will run programs without your knowlege, and they will ask you to download all sorts of malevolent software. I suggest using Google to find information about a specific website

Mistake #3: Opening Email from Someone You Don’t Know

Spam is one of the most annoying things
