Spring Cleaning for Your PC

Once again, it's the time of year for spring cleaning – make sure to include your computer on your "to do" list. If you take good care of your PC, it will last longer and work better. Join Tracy Adair Derning, GCSAA software trainer and support specialist, for a live, 90-minute webcast and learn how to clear old files and programs, update virus scanning and spyware software and back up your important files. You'll also get some tips and tricks for keeping the parts of your computer spic and span.

Note: All GCSAA webcasts are recorded. Pre-register today – even if you can't attend the live event – and GCSAA will notify you by e-mail when the ON DEMAND version is available.

GCSAA education programs are funded by The Environmental Institute for Golf. Regional seminars are presented in partnership with Jacobsen, a Textron Co., and webcasts are presented in partnership with Syngenta Professional Products.
