We continue in this post with the applications allocated to the computer maintenance of our computer

As you can see in the image, the state of my hard drive is "good" with the green color. The other two possible colors that could leave is yellow that tells us that it is at risk and the red color which indicates that the album is "bad."

The other relevant information is the one that comes below. The Smart attributes are important data to look, we refer from the error rate to the number of load-discard cycles.

These are the attributes that can leave and bold the most important:

1 or 01 - RAW READ ERROR RATE: Frequency of errors in a RAW reading from disc.
2 or 02 - Throughput Performance: Average hard drive.
3 or 03 - Spin Up Time: Time needed to turn.
4 or 04 - Start or Stop Count: Number of beginnings and stops of the disc axis.
5 or 05 - REALLOCATED COUNT SECTOR: Number of sectors re -map by defects.
6 or 06 - Read Channel Margin: reserve of channels in reading operations.
7 or 07 - SEEK RATE ERROR: Frequency of positioning errors.
8 or 08 - Seek Timer Performance: Average efficiency of positioning operations.
9 or 09 - Power -on Hours Count: number of hours elapsed in operation.
10 or 0A - Spin Retry Count: Number of turning attempts.
11 or 0B - Calibration Retry Count: number of device calibration attempts.
12 or 0C - Power Cycle Count: Number of ignition events.
13 or 0d - Soft Read Error Rate: Frequency of reading errors via software.
191 or BF - G -Sense Rate error: frequency of errors as a result of internal impacts.
192 or C0 - Power -Off Retract Count: Number of off events.
193 or C1 - Load or Unoad Cycle Count: Number of Load -Unload cycles.
194 or C2 - HDA Temperature: Informative. Show the disc temperature.
195 or C3-Hardware ECC Recovered: Number of recovered errors on-the-fly (on Maxor discs).
196 or C4 - Reallocation Count: Number of rowgot operations.
197 or C5 - Current pending sector: number of unstable sectors (waiting for rowgrowed).
198 or C6 - Offline Scan Uncorrecable Count: Number of errors without correcting.
199 or C7 - UDMA CRC RATE ERROR: Number of CRC errors during ultradma mode.
200 or C8 - Write Rate Error: Frequency of errors in writing operations.
201 or C9 - Soft Read Error Rate: Number of errors when trying to access the next track.
202 or CA - Data Address Mark Error: Number of data brand errors (DAM).
203 or CB - RUN OUT CANCEL: Number of memory detection errors.
204 or CC - Soft ECC Correction: Number of errors corrected by error detection software.
205 or CD - Thermal Asperity Rate (TAR): number of temperature errors.
206 or CE - Flying Height Height of the heads on the surface of the disc.
207 or CF - Spin High Current: Most current quantity to turn the device.
208 or D0 - Spin Buzz: number of routines to turn the device.
209 or D1 - Offline Seek Performance: Search performance during off operations.
220 or DC - Disk Shift: disc change.
221 or DD - G -Sense Rate Error: Number of errors as a result of impacts detected.
222 or - Loaded Hours: number of hours in operational state.
223 or DF - Load or Unoad Retry Count: Load caused by recurrence operations (reading, recording, positioning ...).
224 or E0 - Load Friction: Load caused by mechanical friction.
225 or E1 - Load or Unoad Cycle Count: Total number of load cycles.
226 or E2 - Load -in Time: Disc load time.
227 or E3 - Torque amplification count: amount of rotations.
228 or E4 - Power -Off Retract Count: Number of off events.
230 or E6 - GMR Head amplitude: amplitude of the heads (GMR -head).
231 or E7 - Temperature: unit temperature.
240 or F0 - Head Flying Hours: Time elapsed in positioning operations.
250 or FA - READ RETRY RATE ERROR: Number of errors in reading operations.

If a value comes out of the ordinary it will show us in the aforementioned colors

If there are several in yellow or red you should think about changing hard drive.

4. HDDSCAN

Free program aimed at the search for hard disk errors with which to perform a more exhaustive posterior computer maintenance As we see in the following image, we can analyze our hard drive or any pendrive. The first option we will see the SMART attributes the second option will perform a writing and reading test to see the State. In the Tolos option we can see hard disk information, temperature, command line ...

Malware problems, virus ...

Within computer maintenance , analysis and malware detection, viruses, ransomware ... It is vital to have a team in good condition.

1. Malwarebytes

It is not a simple antivirus, it is characterized by always being updated in the face of the latest threats. They use anomalies detection techniques, comparison of behaviors and application reinforcement among others. It is totally free and effective against malware and viruses.

2. ESET Sysinspector

The great computer security company ESET gives us a free tool to inspect our computer by solving much of the virus, malware problems ... The tool has the function of collecting critical and detailed information so that the group of security experts are subsequently inspected.

The tool will also solve problems realized with processes and services, presence suspicion of files and without signature, software problems and hardware incompatibility, obsolete or defective controllers, operating system without updated patches, broken registration extremes, suspicious network connections ...

Several

1. Sysinternals Suite

As the name implies, it is an application that includes a package of profits aimed at carrying out administration tasks on a computer. You can control your hard drive, your network, system processes and even security. From Microsoft we warn us that it must be used by a systems administrator to carry computer maintenance with this application. We are talking about application, but when you download it and decomprints more than fifty .exe for the analysis. The suite has mini applications of file and disc utilities, network utilities, profits for processes and subprocesses, security ...

2. JSCREENFIX

Program responsible for trying to fix a pixel. The black points you see on your computer, tablet or telephone may be due to the fact that the pixel is dead or stuck. The difference between one or the other, is that, one or two subpixels are on while the remaining ones are turned off. On the contrary, when all the subpixels are extinguished, it is considered a dead pixel. While the first would be easy to fix through this program, dead pixels will cost you more or will not even work for you.
