> Why are you sick of PC’s? Unless you’re an artist/designer of some sort, Mac’s are useless. Sure they look nice and the OS is kinda cool (when it comes to how pictures appear, etc.) but Windows 7 isn’t exactly a bad looking OS and it runs pretty damn good. I’ve had it for 3 months and haven’t had any blue screens of death, etc.

> Do the following and you’ll be issue free:
> 
> - Keep your hardware drivers up to date
> - Run CCleaner and Spybot at least once a month to keep the computer clean
> - Use a good free Anti-Virus like [Avira AntiVir Personal Edition (or other)](http://www.techsupportalert.com/best-free-anti-virus-software.htm) to keep yourself clean as well.
> - Get all of the latest OS updates
> - Profit

> I do those and my computers never have issues. Even with my dad reading his Ukrainian news on sites that probably do have some sort of malware. If you need training, I or someone else can help with that. We have an official IT questions thread if you wanna post in there with your issue(s).
