Hardware and Software Upgrades
We can advise you of any upgrades you are thinking of doing from compatibility to pricing. Most people's computers become slow and outdated due to the fast paced technology nowadays. To bring you up to speed may mean just upgrading your RAM, processor or graphics card or installing the latest updates and upgrades to your current operating system.
PC Health Check and Maintenance
Your computer is like a car, it has many parts that makes it work. You take your car to get it serviced every year to keep it running at is best performance and to prevent breakdowns. It is exactly the same with your PC. If it gets clogged up with dust and debris then it's likely to overheat and components may fail. Likewise with your hard drive, if it isn't cleaned regularly then it gets worked very hard leading to failure and almost certainly data loss.
Virus Detection and Removal
Noticed your PC behaving oddly recently? Pop ups and browser redirection? Then it is probably a virus. You can never be 100% secure nowadays with social networking and music downloads. Even with the best antivirus, if you 'invite' the virus in there is nothing to stop it. Viruses come in many forms from rogue antivirus software to rootkits. Rootkits are the very worst as they hide themselves and prevent antivirus software from running. In most cases of viruses we can remove them without any data loss at all.
Internet Cleanup, Spyware and Popup Removal
When you go online, every page that you view gets downloaded to your temporary files then opened in your browser. The temporary files is where most of the bulk of junk files are stored and from where spyware can infect itself. Spyware is computer software that is installed surreptitiously on a personal computer to collect information about a user, their computer or browsing habits without the user's informed consent. Pop ups are a result of spyware, once the spyware collects data about you it focuses pop up ads around the subject you are either viewing or searching. We can remove all types of viruses, from rootkits to general malware.
Data Backup and File Transfer
There is nothing more important than saved files on your computer. Be it work files or photographs. Especially photographs. With new digital cameras we are printing photos less and less and storing them on our computers. What happens if your computer fails? All your photos are gone. This is why we try to get our customers to back up regularly, be it on a memory stick, external drive or network storage. A few clicks can save a lot of heartache. We can advise you on the best backup facility for your needs and even transfer the files for you.
Internet Security
You can't put a price on security. 1 in every 1000 websites has a drive-by virus. Fact. With viruses designed to steal your data and identity it is vital to have the best defence possible. With our workshop dealing with viruses on a daily basis we can see the software that works and software that doesn't. Some of the most popular security software does more harm than good. We can advise you on the best software on the market and show you comparison charts.

In 99% of cases we can recover the important files such as photos and documents. Saving you both time and money. We can also recover accidentally deleted items, formatted hard drives and corrupted operating systems.
