A couple of clients have mentioned to me about how long it is taking when a scan is running on their PC. I think generally anti virus and spyware scans can take longer than we think but when was the last time you tidied your files and folders on your PC? I have mentioned before about how businesses lose time due to poor filing and it can be very effective to have a spring clean once in a while.
Clear out and send to the recycle bin old documents you no longer need. If you think you may need them “just in case” zap them onto a CD. Arrange your documents and folders in a tidily and organised manner just like you would with files in a drawer.
If you are a larger business it can be helpful to reference on your documents the file name, folder name and drive where it is stored and version/date. Then you know if you have the most up to date document. Also it can be a good idea to restrict access with certain documents and drives.
Another useful thing is to print a screenshot of your drives and document names and pin up – it sometimes is easier to have a quick glance at this to find what you need.
Happy cleaning!
