Reboot your system: ’Tis better to have a clean-running system that’s not teetering on the edge of a crash because too many days have passed since the last reboot. (That’s especially a problem on older Windows systems such as Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows ME.)
Stop all of your other programs: This includes all of the clutter in your systray, half of which you probably don’t need or use anyway.
Read all the way through the antivirus program installation and/or upgrade instructions: Wouldn’t you just hate yourself if Step 46 said to do something that’s really hard to do without a specific preparation that’s only mentioned in Step 46? (I’m not much of a cook, and many times I’ve regretted not reading the recipe all the way through before starting, only to find that I lacked some important ingredient or didn’t have enough time to prepare.)
Take notes: Write down some of the essential things along the way — you may wish you had those little tidbits of data later. A few examples include the name of the directory where you installed the software, and the installation options that you chose.
·Take your time: If you hurry, you’re more likely to skip an important step or make a mistake. It’s more important to install your antivirus software correctly than quickly. You have to live with the results, probably for a long time. Quality doesn’t take shortcuts, and neither should you.
Consider getting help: If installing software feels as intimidating as rebuilding an automobile engine or programming a VCR, then consider having a PC expert help you out, or at least watch over your shoulder and tactfully refrain from snickering to him- or herself.
