Controlling Computer Data

Caution:
A year back I was having problems with BCTS giving me errors. I contacted Erin, she suggested I flush the "cache" in my computer. Never giving too much thought to what Windows did with information on my web visits other than taking care of "history" and "cookies", cache wasn't on my radar. Looking it up there is a ton of one's history loaded there. Removing it won't crash one's computer but may cause loading often visited sites imperceptively slower. Flushing cache will also remove one of the places viruses may data extrapolate and use to infest the computer. A word of caution, if one isn't sure of what they are doing. it's possible to "brick" one's computer when messing around inside basic coding. I have accomplished the computer brick many times when writing basic DOS computer code. Just be aware this is one of the more simple ones if one follows the directions to the letter. I now check what is in cache and flush regularly because I know it's another opening for a virus.
