The best tech tip I received from Mr. Hatch's lecture was about how viruses are spread and about CCleaner. I actually downloaded CCleaner this afternoon and it took a while to scan and clean. Turns out I had over 21,000 Internet Explorer temp files/searches - what a gigantic waste of space!! I'm so glad that he told us about the program - it has made my computer work noticeably faster.
Since I have a PC that runs on Windows XP, I was quite distraught to hear that it allows programs/viruses to be downloaded without my knowledge! Scary! This makes me want a Mac even more. . . until I heard he thinks time will not be kind to Macs. I guess we'll never be able to quite out run the bad geeks and their viruses.
