If you are a techie, you probably get cornered for some computer help by your friends and relatives. Especially when you are making the rounds during this holiday season.

So instead of trying to avoid the situation and then end up doing it anyways, how about getting a little bit prepared?
What if you had a tool kit under your belt that you can whip out and just get to work right away?
Lifehacker has put together an excellent post on how to go about fixing a computer
- When a computer won’t boot and needs re-install
- When a computer is clogged with adware, spamware, malware & crapware
The article has excellent to-do list and links to useful tools and articles to help you troubleshoot any kind of computer problem. With a couple of CDs/DVDs & USB drive, you will be able to get started really quick and get the whole thing done before the dinner is ready.
Happy troubleshooting!
