The easiest way to check that my system is running OK

[Donna]

Can anyone tell me the easiest and safest way to find out how to check if
everything in my computer is running and safe...also, can someone please tell
me how I can just delete my browsing history because when I click on delete
browsing history only nothing happens, what I have to do is delete everything
and that causes problems

Thank you very much

Your questions are almost too general. If your PC does what you
want (and nothing more) it is running OK and safe. The practical
questions are what you ought to do to maintain this state, ranging
from software (e.g. a "firewall"" if you use the Internet) and
hardware (hard drive maintenance, checking, defragmenting, etc.)
Browse in the library for PC manuals written in an agreeable
style. The Dummies series (IDG publishers) suits many
everyday users.

Ref. browser (deleting history), repost saying what software
you use (Internet Explorer?) and why you believe nothing happens.
