computer issues
Is your computer a few years old? Is it slow booting up? Are you running out of hard drive space? We can breathe new life into your PC by upgrading some of its critical components. Even if your system is fairly new, you can still upgrade your pc to accommodate your growing collection of digital photos, movies, files, or video games.
Wired or Wireless home network
Do you think your neighbours are stealing your wireless signal? Do you have more than 1 computer and would like to network them together or link them to your network-enabled TV or Home Entertainment centre such as an Xbox 360, PS3, or Wii?
Virus and Spyware removal
Does it seem like your computer has a life of its own? It could be a virus or spyware infection. No matter what kind of computer you have, you always need the most up-to-date security software. Not only do Anti-Virus programs protect your computer from crashing, but they also prevent you from accidentally passing the infection to other computers of family and friends when you send e-mails or share files. If you're unsure about which virus software to install or how to configure it, just give us a call!
Internet security and Remote access
How secure is your computer? As Internet usage has grown, so has the number of security threats. One way to protect yourself is to install a firewall, which keeps intruders from sneaking into your computer and accessing your private data. Firewalls also can alert you when unauthorized programs such as viruses and spyware attempt to transmit your sensitive information over the Internet. In particular, firewalls are crucial if you use online banking or work from home. We can also setup remote access so you have access to your critical data on the go.
Data transfer backup and recovery
How often do you backup your PC? If it were to crash or be stolen, would you lose important data? We recommend installing an external hard drive in addition to setting up an online backup solution. In addition to helping you to backup your data safely, we also offer data-recovery services that can try to recover lost files resulting from hardware malfunctions, software conflicts, or viruses.
Preventative PC maintenance and optimisation
You wouldn't drive a car for years without changing the oil, so why ignore your computer? Like any investment, your computer needs periodic care and scheduled maintenance. When was the last time your PC had a thorough cleaning? If it has been more than six months, it is time to schedule an in-home preventive-maintenance visit.
