The following are sofware programs and utilities I strongly recommend using on a frequent basis:

McAfee Anti-Virus Protection. Update every 45 days from their web site.

WinZip. File compression utility for file save or storage.

- Scan Disk & Defrag at least once per week for optimal hard drive performance.

- Backup critical files off your pc and on to internet space for later retrieval.
