PC / Laptop Health Checkups

It is always important to maintain your computer performance on a regular basis to help prevent system crashes. Computer systems can become full of unwanted files, from browsing the web, the installation and uninstallation of software programs, and general daily use. Just like a car needs regular maintenance and servicing, so does your computer system. You may have noticed that your computer is running slower and less responsive to like it used to be. Fix your system with a PC Health Check. You can take advantage of our Remote Service for this as well.

A System Health Check often includes:

•        System Filesystem Check
•        Clearing of Internet History
•        Scan for Malicious Software

A System Health Check often only takes approximately 1 hour to complete, and can be done remotely, so email us, and we will ask you a few questions about your issues, and can advise you if it might take longer. We will then arrange a time to send you a link to provide us with permission to access the computer remotely. Once we have access, you can leave us to do our work, and we will leave you a nice love note on the screen when we're done. In this service we often ask you to pay us electronically, ideally through PayPal before the work can begin.

Virus & Spyware Removal

Much like a viral infection in us humans, a Computer Virus is a computer program that can replicate itself and spread from one computer to another. The term 'virus' is also commonly but erroneously used to refer to other types of malware, including but not limited to 'adware' and 'spyware' programs that do have the reproductive ability. A virus can physically harm the files it infects, and if they happen to be related to the normal operation of your computer Operating System, then it can stop it from working.

Spyware is unwanted software that is installed without you knowing it, stealing your internet usage data and sensitive information. They might manifest themselves as adware, displaying advertisements based on your browser history and search terms. Tracking Cookies, track your activity online. System Monitors, can sometimes, track your keystrokes, the websites you visit, with the intention of stealing your banking details.
