Downloads That Can Ruin Your PC

Storing essential files on your digital device is definitely super convenient compared to having tons of papers scattered around the desk, countertop, and even under your bed! But that does not make your files any safer.

In fact, it puts your computer at risk and in the hands of cyber criminals and viruses even if the files secured with a password.

Not safeguarding files can wreck your personal computer, which is only one of the scenarios. There are several files that you accidentally download and put your machine at risk.

Be prepared to get surprised as we tell you about what is causing the trouble on your computer.

Uncluttering Can Sometimes Make Things Worse

We often receive messages or popups about cleaning the computer’s hard drive. Quite often, there is a message about a handy software that tidies the machine and boosts its speed.

True, you need to delete unnecessary files from time to time to boost your personal computer’s speed. These “helpful” and free software that renews your computer and boosts your machine also come with adware, software crumbs, and viruses that ultimately leave your machine lagging.

In addition, this software can consume more space, which is unnecessary because many operating systems come with a pre-installed boosting system.

Some Free Stuff Come with a Much Higher Price

Don’t you just hate it when there is a great movie in your watchlist that cannot be found anywhere on Netflix or Amazon? At times it could cost you $30 to rent it, and downloading or streaming the movie on a website that is not legal might not sound too big of a crime.

But these sites that usually have an extra-long URL can transfer risky cookies and viruses that could corrupt your digital device to the point of no return!

Download Only Things You Really Need

Finding a freeware—a software with zero cost definitely sounds like a moment of immense victory, but don’t get too caught up. This can include alternatives to office programs or photo editing applications.

Do not download freeware you find on the internet as they would clog your system software and burden the machine memory with junk files.

Uncluttering is Key

Let us focus on tidying up your machine and getting rid of the decade-old photos, videos, and trial software.

Believe it or not, your computer could be literally stuffed with loads of unnecessary and irrelevant files that you no longer need. These could take up to several Gigabytes of space, so get uncluttering and organize what you need in folders.

Tidy up your computer and remember to download software from trusted sources to avoid putting your machine at risk, and enjoy an uninterrupted, fast digital workspace!
