Why is my computer so slow and all these ads are flooding my screen?

If your computer system gets a lot of popup ads, is sluggish, locking up or frequently crashing, you may be the victim of a computer virus or spyware. It may also just need some maintenance. Updating and running your anti-virus and anti-spyware software or running some routine maintenance tasks could improve performance. Contact us to find out about these and other solutions available to resolve poor computer performance problems.

Where did all the files go?

You turn on your computer one day and it won't start up. To make matters worst, your computer guru tells you that the hard drive has failed and everything on it has been lost. Do you have critical data on your hard drive (company financials, important documents, all your digital photos)? Do you have a backup of your critical data? Is it recent? What are the ramifications if the data is not recoverable? How much time would it take to reconstruct the data if it even could be reconstructed? How much would it cost? Contact us to learn about cost effective and proven backup solutions.

power protection

Can electrical problems affect my computer?

Common problems with your electrical service could have devastating effects on your computer and other electronics you own.

Protecting your investment in your hardware begins at $20. Contact us to find out about surge and battery backup protection and options.

network problems

Why does it feel like the network is always down or not running the way it should?

Confused about computer security - is it all necessary?

There are many considerations to take into account regarding computers and security… with over 200 new computer viruses and spyware programs released every month, identity theft, Internet scams and hackers breaking into computer networks, you need to protect yourself and the integrity of your data. At the very least, all computers need current anti-virus and anti-spyware software. Also, any data that is important to you should be backed up on a regular basis.

A good recent backup of your critical data is your best defense against security threats, hardware failure and even user error. Computer security solutions can do a great job of keeping the bad guys and stuff out of your computer, but if improperly set up, can prevent you from using your computer the way you need to.
