PC Upgrades
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, systems generally need to be cleaned and optimised to perform well. You can still upgrade your pc to accommodate your growing collection of digital photos, movies, files, or video games. Have questions about whether or not you should upgrade? Call us today on 0800 634 8669.
Computer Networking
If you have more than one PC in your home, have you considered networking them together? A home network allows your computers to share photos, documents, and videos, and even an internet connection. Even better, a wireless network is the cutting-edge way to connect all of the PC’s and laptops in your home. Wireless networks are perfect for people who want to connect laptop and desktop computers or for people who don't like to be tied down. And when you go wireless, you won't have the inconvenience of tripping over messy network cables.
Virus and Spyware Removal
Does it seem like your computer has a mind of its own? It could be a virus or Trojan. No matter what kind of computer you have, you always need the most up-to-date Anti-Virus 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 Protection and Firewalls
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 have the always-on Internet connection of DSL or a cable modem. If you don’t have one we can install one to protect yourself and your family.
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? ITEC recommends installing a DVD burner or an external hard drive. Keep a number of copies of your data on different kinds of media, preferably securely and off the premises. In addition to helping you backup your data safely, we also offer data-recovery services to attempt recovery of lost files resulting from hardware malfunctions, software conflicts, or viruses.
Preventive PC Maintenance and Optimization
You wouldn't drive a car for years without changing the oil, so why ignore your computer? Like any investment, your computer needs care and attention. This means not just keeping it physically clean, but also data clean. If it takes you hours to do a virus scan, the chances are there is a lot of accumulated debris. When was the last time your PC had a thorough cleaning? If it has been more than six months, it is time to schedule a preventive-maintenance visit.
