Re: Keeping your pc healthy !

well heres my opinion
i bascly go for a wipe and reinstall once or more durning the year and i dont defrag i dont scandisk and i hardly ever scan for virues

why?

quite simply it takes to long to do all that rubbish espcally on a regular basis.

i do real time scanning on the av, try to avoid spyware programs as much as possible, run spybot every so often and thats about it

ill do the odd defrag if im planning to leave my pc running for a while and be away from it.

but i certianly dont do most of the above regularly (except for updating windows/av which i will always do)

at the end of the day as long as i have a copy of anything important programs can be reinstalled at a later time,

that and i like to upgrade and play around with my pc a lot so an installtion wont survive several years use.
