PC Upgrades

It is a common statement that computers become obsolete after a certain number of years. This may be true in specialized industries but for most home and office users, even an older computer can stand the test of time. We have been customizing PCs for over a decade now and have discovered that you don’t have to spend a lot of money to get a quality machine. Let us customize your new or old machine to work just the way that you need it.

Computer Networking

Computer networks are not just for the office. Setting up a secured network between all of your computers will allow you to share music, pictures and videos as well as utilize printing and your network-ready phones and other devices. We can also integrate Bluetooth®* and other wireless technologies to make sure that you are getting the most out of your devices.

Malware and Spyware Removal

The internet is full of valuable information and many functions that people use everyday. Shopping, social networks, entertainment and conducting business have become a part of our everyday online life. With this also comes the unfortunate world of malicious online behavior. You might not realize you have an infection until you notice your computer running slow or visiting websites in an odd fashion. Call us today and we can set up an appointment to diagnose the infection.

Internet Security Protection and Firewalls

There are a variety of ways to protect your personal information while you are connected to the internet. With high-speed internet, the connection is always on so well managed security is a must. A combination of solid passwords, firewalls and anti-malware software will add layers to your security. We can configure your security plan from the ground up to give you a secure online experience.

Data Transfer Backup and Recovery

Many computer users have a variety of personal data, music, pictures and video that they value and may have been collecting over years or even decades. If you would like to continue to have that data available, then it is a good idea to have a good backup. We can transfer your files to a new computer or archive your data onto various disk media as well as external and network hard disk drives for storage. A current and well maintained backup will protect your data in the event of hardware failure, malware or simple accidents.

Preventive PC Maintenance and Optimization

As with any investment, the life and reliability of your computer is relative to how it is configured and maintained. Processor speed is affected by temperature and dust inside the computer can hinder the cooling fans from working properly. We can give your computer a detailed cleaning, inside and out to make sure it runs the way that it was designed. If you want a little more out or your machine we can also adjust a variety of administrative settings to optimize the performance to suit your ever growing computer needs.

Linux installations and crossovers

Linux* is another operating system which can function much like Microsoft Windows®*. Linux is open-source which means that it is free to the public. It is also protected by the GNU General Public License which gives the user the right to share and change the way that it works. The operating system runs great on old machines and can breath life into an otherwise “obsolete” PC. Linux is great for netbooks and computers for children and the classroom as the operating system is very stable and designed to protect the stability of the kernel. You can even have Windows and Linux on the same machine or boot Linux from a CD or flash drive and have it on the go. The best thing is that the far to common PC virus/trojan will not affect a Linux machine.
