The software is constantly changing, and suppliers always want everyone to upgrade when they release a new version, but it is not necessary, after all, these procedures have been with us for many years, occupy a place in our daily lives. So how do you fully tap into the potential of these software? We've organized a series of little-known techniques that follow these tips, and your day-to-day applications, such as office, IE, antivirus, can play a bigger role, become faster, stronger, and easier to use.

The operations described in these techniques are free or inexpensive, but they can be useful in your day-to-day work.

Before the world becomes more secure, a tool like Norton Antivirus is indispensable to any computer user. Here are a few tips to help you reinforce your Norton wall of protection.

Editor's words: Although Norton recently had a manslaughter incident, but we can not deny that he is a good anti-virus software.

First, speed up your anti-virus software

When you use streaming audio media or other large files on the Internet, do not run ScanDisk, and do not run any programs that frequently read the hard drive. If you have a secure firewall and update it in a timely manner, you can disable NAV's automatic protection when you are not exposed to the Internet or other network tools (including e-mail), because this "automatic protection" feature will definitely have a detrimental effect on your performance.

All you need to do is make sure that you scan the virus before you open the downloaded file and the virus library is updated. If Norton's real-time updates run too slowly, you can skip Symantec's virus Library download page and choose its latest security patches and virus libraries directly.

Second, the integration of your anti-virus software and firewalls

If you install Norton Antivirus on a system that you have been protected by a ZoneAlarm firewall, Nav will prompt you to uninstall ZoneAlarm. Please do not ignore it, directly click the "Next" button, Norton installation will not be affected by this. When your computer restarts, you will find that the ZoneAlarm firewall has been disabled.

To take care of these two virus scanners is actually very simple, in Nav, select "Options > Norton Antivirus", remove all the frame, disable NAV, and then restart the computer. A message pops up asking if you want to enable the ZoneAlarm virus scan. If this tip does not appear, you can double-click the ZoneAlarm icon in the system tray and manually turn on its antivirus and anti-spyware features. Once you've reversed the previous steps, you'll be able to get the functionality of Norton Antivirus at the same time.

Turn off the things you don't need

If you just use web-based e-mail, such as a browser to access Gmail or Yahoo mailboxes, instead of using Outlook, Foxmail and other e-mail clients, you can safely turn off the Norton Antivirus Automatic Mail protection feature: Click the option > Norton Antivirus, select "E-mail" in the left pane to remove the "scan send and receive email" option.

Four, let "automatic protection" function to open

Z You install a new game or application, Symantec will recommend you to keep Norton's automatic protection function active. Their company believes Norton needs to remain operational throughout the software installation process. Programs downloaded from some unknown sites may hide malicious software, and even some well-known manufacturers may accidentally hide viruses in software packages.

V. Keep the message flowing.

You should have heard about the latest virus threats. You can view the Symantec Security Response Center (SYMANTEC) page, which is a "one-stop" page where you will be able to learn about the latest virus threats and discover the latest vulnerabilities in your common software (such as Excel, Windows Media player, even windows itself, finds the latest virus killing tool, knows some rumors about the virus, and grasps Symantec's Threatcon alerts.
