Broadband & Email

This is the main reason most people have a PC, to browse the net, keep in touch with loved ones etc, and if you are running a business, the net is even more important Often calling me in can get the problem  sorted a lot quicker and cheaper than ringing your ISP on expensive telephone help-lines.

Virus Removal & Prevention

I come across infected PC's on an almost daily basis. The main danger on the net these days is cyber criminals trying to steal passwords, bank  and credit cards details and other personal information and they are finding more devious and clever means to get such. As the saying goes "Prevention is much better than the cure". I have the tools to be able to remove viruses and more importantly, put measures in place to help keep them at bay so you can browse the internet safely.

Spyware Infection / Slow PC

A PC can be slow for a whole variety of reasons, one common reason being because its infected by Spyware. This can also show itself in the form of annoying popup windows you get continuously appearing during browsing. These can often to lead to privacy issues too so its important they are removed. I can also optimise the Windows registry and your startup so your PC starts faster, runs  faster and is a lot more stable.

For one reason or another, your PC might fail to start up properly. I have various tools & utilities for such an occasion, to help get your PC up and running again.

Windows Reinstalls

Some good maintenance to do every so often is to reinstall windows from scratch, thus clearing out redundant programs, freeing up disk space and memory, essentially giving your PC a spring clean. It also helps fix/prevent a lot of the problems mentioned already.  I can do a professional reinstall of windows for you preserving all your precious data, emails and address book etc

Wireless Networking

This is becoming more and more popular. Most houses now have multiple PC's laptops and game consoles, all wanting to be on the internet at the same time. Its crucial that your wireless is setup properly and more importantly made secure so only the people you want to attach to it, do so. See the video below to show what can happen if your wireless is compromised

 When talking about wireless security, it does not pay to cut corners. Identity theft is the biggest growing crime in the UK and unsecured wireless network connections (or ones that aren’t as a secure as they could be) are part of the reason for that. Don’t let it happen to you!! Get it done properly.

New PC Setup

If you have just bought a new PC and unsure where all the cables go and what goes where, I can take the stress out of it for you. The service includes setup, reconnection the internet, setup of email and installation of printer etc. Also, if you have data on your old PC and need it transferring over to the new one, this can also be done.

General Help & Advice

If you are unsure how to do something, or need help re a particular task like sending emails or word processing I can offer help on that too in the privacy of your own home. I will also advise of any other issues that need addressing when I am working on your PC, whether that be updates needed, new anti virus software or whatever.
