Computers are expensive devices that are changing every day. Computer specialists are working very hard to come up with new computer programs all the time. This means that you need to keep on top of things as well. Sometimes computers break down and need to be fixed. If you are not familiar with computers then you need to take the computer to a trained professional to have it fixed. Computer repair can be quite costly depending on the problem and the age of the computer. Some computers that are really old and out dated cannot be fixed, as they cannot handle the updates. Computer repair in some cases will cost more than a new computer.
However, there are certain elements of computer repair that you yourself can do. Everyone knows that computers are full of cables and wires. If these cables are wires are not in working order than you are sure to have problems with your system. There are certain things you can do to keep your PC out of the computer repair store.
If you turn your computer on and it freezes then you this means that you don't have enough memory on the computer for what you have on it. To fix the problem you simply need to check your memory on your computer, and do a update and disk cleanup on your computer. This will remove any unneeded files on the computer, hence freeing up space.
If you are experiencing problems with your mouse, speakers and keyboard, then you should check all connections. Maybe there is a loose wire or cable.
If you are hearing a grinding noise in your computer, then this usually means that there is a problem with the hard drive. What you need to do is back up all data that you do not want lost and have to replace the hard drive. Before doing this however, you might want to check and see if the fan is dirty and have it cleaned.

Important Information
Spyware: is a type of malware that is installed on computers and collects little bits of information at a time about users without their knowledge. The presence of spyware is typically hidden from the user, and can be difficult to detect. Typically, spyware is secretly installed on the user's personal computer. Sometimes, however, spywares such as keyloggers are installed by the owner of a shared, corporate, or public computer on purpose in order to secretly monitor other users. While the term spyware suggests that software that secretly monitors the user's computing, the functions of spyware extend well beyond simple monitoring. Spyware programs can collect various types of personal information, such as Internet surfing habits and sites that have been visited, but can also interfere with user control of the computer in other ways, such as installing additional software and redirecting Web browser activity. Spyware is known to change computer settings, resulting in slow connection speeds, different home pages, and/or loss of Internet or functionality of other programs. In an attempt to increase the understanding of spyware, a more formal classification of its included software types is captured under the term privacy-invasive software.
Some telltale signs of spyware infection are:
Computer Virus: a computer program that can copy itself and infect a computer. The term "virus" is also commonly but erroneously used to refer to other types of malware, including but not limited to adware and spyware programs that do not have the reproductive ability. A true virus can spread from one computer to another (in some form of executable code) when its host is taken to the target computer; for instance because a user sent it over a network or the Internet, or carried it on a removable medium such as a floppy disk, CD, DVD, or USB drive.
Adware: is any software package which automatically plays, displays, or downloads advertisements to a computer after the software is installed on it or while the application is being used. Some types of adware are also spyware and can be classified as privacy-invasive software.
Malware: Some adware can also be classified as spyware, a type of malware (malicious software) which steals information. For example BonziBUDDY, an application marketed as an "Intelligent software agent", corrupted many of the user's system files, forcing the display of many obscene advertisements (composed mostly of infected Flash coding); these and the main application logged browsing details and sent them to various third parties. Adware applications can also be classed as other forms of malware: for example as an adware Trojan horse (which disguises itself as a trusted application—e.g. Microsoft Word—and displays infected advertisements such as "download XP service pack 4, great bargains, latest update"
Two of the most popular tools for fighting spyware are Ad-Aware Personal SE and SpywareBlaster. They should be used in conjunction with each other, and they are both free with frequent free updates. Ad-Aware Personal SE will scan your computer for existing spyware and alert you to what it finds. You can quarantine suspected spyware bugs so they can no longer function. It is very important to read the manual as removing spyware can lead to system or software problems if done incorrectly. After running Ad-Aware Personal SE to quarantine or remove the spyware, run SpywareBlaster to prevent new spyware from being installed in the first place.
These programs do not load into memory or run in the background. They rely on internal databases of known spyware keys, which they use to scan and protect your system. Therefore, like a virus program, their databases must be updated regularly. Once an updated database has been loaded, run the program again. Always run Ad-Aware Personal SE first, followed by SpywareBlaster.

In an attempt to increase the understanding of spyware, a more formal classification of its included software types is captured under the term privacy-invasive software.
Some telltale signs of spyware infection are:
- Your computer slows to a crawl due to several spyware programs using up your memory resources.
- Advertisements pop up even when you are offline.
- You click on a link to go to one site, but your browser gets hijacked and you end up at another site.
- Your computer is dialing up numbers on its own that show up on your phone bill.
- When you enter a search item, a new and unexpected site handles the search.
- Your bookmarks change on their own.
- You click your Home button but it takes you to a new site, and when you switch the setting back, the new site appears again anyway.
- You get pop-up ads that address you by name even when you have not visited site at which you have registered.
