personal antivirus

[Qui Gon-Jinn]

Please excuse my inner geek :D

 

First.. Antivirus.. AVG AVG AVG

 

10 years.. no problems and have put it on over 1000 computers for friends family and customers.

 

Partitioning.. YES.. Do it.

 

C Drive is for your OS (windows) and maybe programs.

 

Another partition for your "My Documents" (Personally the My Documents folder on my main pc is 80gb)

 

Another partition for WTF else you want/do

 

Reasoning is this. If your windows install goes south.. you don't loose your my documents.

 

I have done this to a few hundred machines and never regreted it EVER. getting ready to re-load my sister's pc.. her My Documents are on a separate partition so no need to worry. Install xp.. and point the folder.

 

To point your My Documents folder. Right click on it. Properties and change the destination.

 

Happy computing

I never thought of partitioning. I have not done that in a long time, but can probably figure it out again. My "my documents" file is 221gb :eek: , so I have a lot to lose if I have trouble.

 

I still believe that if you are an experienced, conscious user--anti-virus is not needed.
