Welcome MSU Students, Faculty and Staff!
The Campus Community Computer Maintenance Guide has been created for MSU faculty, staff and students to refer to for regular maintenance of their computers.

For those who may not be familiar with how to check for updates, information about spyware, and how to delete temporary files, this site provides examples and explanations of various computer maintenance tasks. Remember, it is your responsibility to maintain your computers to reduce the risk of spreading viruses on campus.

There are 11 computer maintenance lessons from which to choose. Select the lesson below that you would like to review. The lessons are divided between daily and weekly tasks.
