Q:
I have a hp a1230n comp, 4g ram, windows sp sp2
I have 2 dvd copy/ writer drives.
1 was a LG the other a HP and both worked as they should. The hp quit working and I replaced it with a Philips / spd6004 bd/17. Before when I coped or wrote to a dvd I could not hear either one running.
The problem, the Philips sounds very loud until it stops, but does copy and write as it should.
Thanks lc
A:
Certain manufacturers will have louder writers than others. Higher speed writers tend to be louder as well, as long as the drives are copying as they should don't worry about it. If the noise is too much we sell Lite-On burners at The PC Shop and we recieve no complaints about them.

Q:
How often should I update my virus protection??
A:
Most virus protection software is set up to automatically install updates when they are available. If you prefer not to have the virus software to update automatically, then I would strongly recommend that you check for updates once a week. My suggestion is to have your virus software to automatically update due to the daily releases of virus on the web.
If you are referring to the Anti-Virus Software Program, most have 6 month -1 year subscriptions. They must be updated each year. We at the PC Shop would recommend that you check each year for the latest version of the software program. We provide the latest Anti-Virus programs here at the PC Shop.

Q:
Should I turn off my computer when I'm not using it?
A:
If you use the computer on a daily basis, then you can set the computer to enter into Stand-By mode or Hibernate. Hibernation reduces the start time of the computer and saves the complete state of the computer and turns it off. The Standby feature slows the computer down and uses less electricity. Although the computer appears to be off, the programs are still running in the back ground and will wake when you move the mouse or press the power button. The only negative of standby mode is if there is a power outage, you will lose all the unsaved data because the computer was still running the programs in the background. If this is a computer that isn’t used that often then I would say shut it down each time you are finished. For more information, please stop in and visit us at The PC Shop and we will be glad to answer any of your questions.
