Follow these basic tips to keep your devices running smoothly:

Install antivrus and security software on all of your devices and keep it updated. Mac users, too. I recommend the following free products:

Sophos Home - Simply the best FREE stuff out there. For both PC and Macs.

Malwarebytes Anti-Malware FREE Edition - I always tell people to download the FREE edition and run it whenever their computer seems to be running slowly or is acting up.

Sypbot Search and Destroy - The other tool used to detect and remove malware and viruses. Use with Sophos Home and Malwarebytes to have the ultimate in protection.

Patch and Update Regularly - turn on the automatic update features in Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X. Search Google for instructions on how to do so for your current version.

Back up your data - Get a large USB flash drive, or better yet a large external hard disk and use it.
