| | Trend Micro Virus Primer
A computer virus is a program – a piece of executable code – that has the unique ability to replicate. Like biological viruses, computer viruses can spread quickly and are often difficult to eradicate. They can attach themselves to just about any type of file and are spread as files that are copied and sent from individual to individual.

| Disk Defragmenter
| | Microsoft Defrag

| Remove Temp Files
| | Windows Temporary Files
Windows 95, 98 and Me have no built-in way to clean out their own garbage. It's odd that Windows knows how to get rid of the stuff in the trash but can't figure out what to do with a far more serious problem, the ever-burgeoning temp folder. Windows 95, 98 and Me users have to take care of that themselves. (Windows 2000, NT and XP users might need to do it also, since the automatic methods in those versions of Windows don't work well enough.) |
