Keeping your computer up to date and secure is as important as regular servicing and changing of the oil in your car. Like any machine, your computer needs constant care and will become slower and start to have problems if not tuned regularly. This means keeping it free of dust, malicious software, and viruses and ensuring the hard drive is maintained to reduce problems in the future.
