* Virus/Adware/Spyware Removal
Seeing a few too many popup advertisements? Are your programs taking a very long time to load? Internet explorer freezing regularly? Your computer could be running malicious software. Such programs can record your activities and report them to advertising services, who use the programs to spam users with a torrent of unwanted advertising which can be both annoying and unwanted. Viruses, adware, and spyware can cause your computer to stop functioning properly, slowing it down considerably, and causing a variety of security flaws.

IMPORTANT: If you believe you may have such software running on your computer, do not visit any websites on which you transfer sensitive information (internet banking, ebay, paypal, etc). Some spyware target these activities, recording passwords and your confidential information, allowing them to access your internet banking details (and your money)! Never give your credit card details to companies promoting "Antivirus 360" or "Antivirus 2009" - these are fraudulent companies promoting false antivirus programs, with the intent of gaining your credit card information.

* System Backup and System Restore
You should backup your computer's stored files onto CD/DVD very regularly. Computer hard disks are prone to failure, and retrieving information from a failed hard disk drive is extremely difficult - and expensive! To avoid this, regular system and document backups should be performed in order to ensure that, in the case of a hard disk failure, you have a recent copy of all your documents to avoid lost work, and the deletion of personal files.

* Windows Setup
If you've just bought a new computer, decide to upgrade to another operating system (such as Windows Vista) or want a fresh start with your current computer, but aren't willing to go through with the hassle and difficulties involved with installing Windows, we offer Windows Setup as one of our services. Upon installation of Windows, we offer free installation of a variety of programs to aid you into settling into your new setup, from free anti-virus software to free word processing programs.

* PC Maintenance
Similar to servicing a car, a series of system checks and updates should be performed to every PC on a regular basis in order to ensure no future problems occur.

* System Cleanup
After months and years of use, a computer becomes clogged with unused or non-functional programs, software, and unnecessary information. A system cleanup can vastly increase the speed at which your computer processes information, loads programs, and starts up. Even new computers can come packed with unnecessary software which can hinder its performance.

* Computing Advice
Whether you're just curious how something works, what programs are suitable for different application, or want to learn how the various aspects of your computer function, we can provide you with this information.

* Hardware Driver and Network Setup and Maintenance
If your printer has suddenly stopped working, or you can't get your new scanner to work, chances are that we can help. We provide hardware setup and maintenance as one of our standard services. If you own more than one computer, we can provide you with networking setup services, allowing multiple computers access to stored files, and internet services. If you're looking to secure your computer or small network, we can provide you with the software setup to do so. We offer installs of Firewalls, Antivirus, and other software to help secure your computer(s) from the internet.
