Consider a routine maintenance program to avoid problems that can occur with a computer. Repairs can be costly and time-consuming. Preventive measures will save you money and time in the long run and may also minimize the damage that does occur despite best efforts to avoid failures.
SimplerComputing Monthly Remote Service is the solution for your computer and network health. We connect to your computer remotely, with your permission, on a monthly basis.
Monthly Remote Service consists of:
- Hardware Checkup
- Virus Updates / Virus Scan / Removal*
- Adaware-Spyware Updates / Scan / Removal*
- System Optimization
- Event Logs (available for Windows XP only)
*Depending on the severity, it may be necessary for an onsite repair and removal. Hourly charges will apply.
When presented with a problem, we isolate the source and fix it, typically through a process of elimination whereby possible sources of the problem are investigated and eliminated beginning with the most obvious or easiest problem to fix.
You can take measures to protect a computer from viruses. Many antivirus programs are available. When correctly installed, configured and regularly updated, these programs protect a computer from the best-known types of viruses.
All computer viruses are manmade. A virus is a program that is loaded onto your computer without your knowledge and runs against your wishes. Even a simple virus is dangerous because it will quickly use all available memory and bring the system to a halt. An even more dangerous type of virus is one capable of transmitting itself across networks and bypassing security systems.
One of the cardinal rules in using computers is back up your files regularly. In the event of a computer failure, a backup copy of your data will prevent loss of critical data such as emails, documents and programs.
Even the most reliable computer is apt to break down eventually. We recommend that you make at least one backup of all your files. To be especially safe, you should keep one backup in a different location from the others.
Someone may attempt to access computers to steal or corrupt data; or perhaps, just to use the computer because of its capabilities.
A firewall is considered a first line of defence in protecting private information. Firewalls can be implemented in both hardware and software, or a combination of both. They are frequently used to prevent unauthorized Internet users from accessing computers connected to the Internet.
