HOW TO OWN A TROUBLE-FREE COMPUTER IN 5 EASY STEPS

INTRODUCTION

Welcome to an exciting future for all of you frustrated pc users and a big hello to those of you who are perfectionists and want things in their lives to run smoothly.

This book may be small, it maybe relatively cheap to purchase, but it will be one of the most valuable books you have in your possession.

Why buy this book ?

Life can be complicated at times, no more so than in the world of IT. You may of read bits of this book in magazines or somewhere in some kind of media. But you never get the whole picture. PC magazines can be full of information about things you can do to improve your pc and these are ok for the advanced user, who knows exactly what he or she is doing or looking for.

But, even to me, they are full of so much information, that in the end you get fed up reading it all and then just stop reading altogether. So many remedies for so many problems. There seems to be 50,000 of them or so it is just all too confusing.

Once you have completed the 5 steps you wont need to worry about searching for answers in these magazines alike anymore. Because, you will not have any problems.

What my book does is, cut through the minefield of information to give you just what you need and that’s all. 5 simple steps, properly explained. So, you understand what is going on.

It really is all you need to know as a home user. There are a few tricks to learn along the way, but you can pick them up at a later stage.

What this book does is it focuses purely on preventing you from getting infected, thus therefore allowing you to have a trouble free computer. Keeping it simple !!!

For the novice user, the important parts have been separated into the ‘5 Easy Steps’ which have been highlighted on the Contents page in red.

The rest of this manual is for you to understand how and why it works with some helpful hints along the way.

For the professional user, you will find the rest of the manual pretty basic, but hopefully, you will find the ‘5 Easy Steps’ clever, common sense and an essential ingredient for everyday computing.

Either way, both sets of users will benefit from my ‘prevention is better than cure’ concept.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

My name is Joe Burge, I am a 51 year old man from Dagenham in Essex, England.

In September 2004, after some personal setbacks, I decided to go to back to school and learn about computers. I attended Ardleigh Green College in Hornchurch, Essex, England.

At the age of 47, I wasn’t even sure if I had the ability to learn anymore. To my surprise, I was able to, and some.

By the time I was 49 I became a qualified Microsoft Certified Professional.

Along the way, I discovered my unique technique and now wish to share my knowledge with the rest of the world.

I have written this book to help home users and small business’s to own a trouble free computer with simple explanations and photographs and step by step instructions. I believe everyone who owns a computer should be able to run their modern day equipment completely stress free.

All you ever need to know is right here and you don’t need to be a brain of Britain to understand the whys and wherefores.

To be totally honest I don’t know why my system has not come to the surface before now. I suppose someone has to be the first.

If you are thinking, hold on a minute, I’m not a ‘techy person’ or ‘this has got to be too difficult for me because I don’t understand computers’ you are wrong. Anyone who can read this introduction page will be able to complete the tasks ahead. It
