For many users, it is very important to keep the operating system up and running. Reinstalling Windows is easy, but it often takes a lot of time to get it back to its usual configuration.
Necessary
Antivirus, FireWall, Advanced System Care
Instructions
Step 1
To prevent the crash of the operating system, it must be properly protected. Those users who take the issue of protection with all seriousness, reinstall the operating system several times less often.
Step 2
Find a good antivirus. Naturally, it is better to opt for quality licensed products. This does not mean that free antivirus programs are not capable of protecting your computer. But the likelihood of a virus entering the system is reduced significantly when a powerful antivirus is installed.
Step 3
Install the firewall. This type of security software creates an additional line of defense for the system. In addition to standard scanning of received packets, the firewall can warn you about the launch of unwanted programs or services. Most of the firewalls are paired with antivirus software.
Step 4
Install a program to help you quickly identify "holes" in the operating system. An example of such a utility is Advanced System Care. Run the program and open the System Diagnostics menu. Select Security Analysis and Security and run a scan. Click the "Repair" button to fix the system settings.
Step 5
To quickly restore the operating system to the state in which it was before the failure, you can use the standard Windows tools. Open the control panel. Navigate to the System and Security menu. Select "Backup and Restore".
Step 6
Go to the "Create a system image" item, specify the location for storing the image and click the "Next" button.
Step 7
Return to the Backup and Restore menu. Proceed to Create System Restore Disc. You will need it to run the recovery image. Insert the DVD into your drive and click the Create Disc button. Now, in the event of an OS failure, you can restore the state in which it was at the time of the image creation.
