Hey so my general question is what is the best way to keep my laptop running smoothly and to protect it from viruses and such?
I have a 1.5 year old asus and it’s running windows 10. I am currently using ad blocker and avg free, but I’m sure those don’t protect me very well. Can anyone recommend a good -free- anti virus(I am a poor student)? (is this the same as anti malware?)
And the other part of my question is what can I do to keep my my laptop from slowing down. For the most part I just use it for schoolwork and streaming music and videos on chrome. I would like to use it for gaming and the guy who discussed laptop options with me said this laptop would be pretty okay for that (3.1 ghz 8gb memory). I’ve never really had anyone teach me properly about laptops, just kinda went at it, but I would like to keep this one in good condition if there’s anything I can do.
