Need help with my laptop

I'm not really sure if I posted this in the right forum and if I didn't please don't get made at me I am kind of new and I couldn't find the one that would fit with my question(s). Anyway I own an Inspiron E1505 laptop and it is vista not windows. I was wondering if anyone would be able to give me some tips on how to take care of my laptop, how to protect it from virsus, keep it running faster and other things similar to those previvously mention. I need as much help as I can get.

 

 

Thanks in advance!

    Keep current antivirus software running at all times.  Consider a good third party firewall and keep it updated and running at all times.  Protect the notebook from rough handling and abuse - NEVER, EVER use it in your lap.  BACK UP your data frequently - there are two types of hard drives:  those that have failed and those that will fail.

    Defragment the hard drive periodically.
