Tune-up

Just like a car the wear and tear of constant use can affect the performance of a computer, making it slower and more prone to problems and just like a car it is advisable to give your computer a service each year.

Constant downloading of files, installation and removal of software, malicious software, installation of devices and their software and creation of new data can in time start clogging up your computer with redundant and unnecessary files.

These file and applications littering up your computer can cause a serious deterioration in the performance of your computer and with continual accumulation of this system junk it is very likely that your overall computing experience will be significantly impaired.

Before considering throwing out your computer and spending hundreds of pounds on a new one, you may well find a PC Tune-up, System Reinstall or PC Upgrade to be the best and cheapest option.

Annual Service includes

Removing unnecessary programs from starting (speeds up windows start-up).

Update installed virus software and check for viruses. If necessary install Anti-Virus software (additional charge for the software will be made), (helps to minimise the risk of your computer receiving infected files, which may damage your system).

Scan and remove spyware, adware and malware (helps to prevent intruders from accessing your data, controlling your system or stealing your online banking or credit card details).

Uninstall unnecessary programs.

Delete trash, such as temporary files, cookies, setup logs, etc (frees up hard drive space).

Correcting registry entries (the registry is like the nuts & bolts of Windows, if this goes wrong it may stop Windows working completely).

Hard drive defragmentation (allows your computer’s hard drive to run at peak performance).

Install all security patches and windows updates for Windows (fixes security holes and resolves well known Windows software bugs).

Backup of your Outlook/Outlook Express emails, address book and your internet favorites to a free USB stick (protects your data should your hard drive crash, maximum free backup size 4GB. Larger backups available for an additional charge, ask when booking)

System valet (it helps your computer’s internal components if you have kept it clean from dust, which is one of the main sources of hardware failures. Our valet cleans all your internal components, such as fans, power supply, motherboard, memory, and processor).

Advice on any upgrades (upgrades to your present computer can be a cheaper option than buying a new one)
