The spread of viruses, Trojans, worms, zombies,
spyware etc. etc. etc. becomes more wily,
cunning and in many cases, destructive. If you
believe your computer is infected then I will
expel any unwanted intruders and make sure
your computer is fortified with defenses that
should repel an attack from any potential cyber
foe and always on the winning side in the
continual battle against computer infections,
spam and scams.
One of the biggest gripes I hear about from frustrated
computer users is their dissatisfaction at the speed at
which their computer operates. By diagnosing the
reasons for your computer's sluggishness and using
tweaks and tricks learned over many years, I will give
your computer the shot in the arm it requires to fulfil
tasks quicker and considerably less time for you to
stare at hourglasses and progress bars.
Broadband and the increasing choices of how to
connect to the internet increases by the year. No
longer are we confined and limited to one computer,
or even one room. If you are looking to Wi-Fi your
home or workplace, or require assistance in
improving or extending your wireless network, I can
help. Also, if you are wishing to review or even
change your broadband provider but need
assistance, this is a service I have done frequently.
Technology has this irritating knack of
developing and improving just when you
think you're all cutting edge. The plethora of
computer devices and hardware available
can be daunting if you have decided to
upgrade, or even replace your current
computer. I can assist by taking what budget
you wish to spend and obtaining the best
option available then setting to work in fine
tuning, updating and securing your
computer, before delivering and setting it up
at your address.
Over the years I have been asked to provide
many IT services and it is simply impossible for
me to list them all. Data retrieval, computer
instruction, repairing faulty computer parts,
creating websites, overcoming problematic
Windows system errors and upgrading
computers to the latest system to name just a
few. If you have an IT problem or request then
please just contact me and I will inform you
quickly whether or not it is something I can
achieve for you.
Many people are entering the world of home
computers for the first time. This can be very
exciting, but the ever expanding world of
technology offers a baffling choice of new devices.
Working alongside the Chelmsford Community
Volunteer Service I provide at our Computer
Clubs in Chelmsford assistance from the very
basics so you understand each step and feel
comfortable from the start and so helping you
get the most out of your own equipment.
If you are looking to have a web presence, or just
wish to obtain a personal or professional email
address instead of one of the usual suspects of
Hotmail, Yahoo, Gmail etc. then I can design your
site or configure your new email address and
make sure it looks the way it should on all
platforms and devices, including PCs, laptops,
tablets and smartphones.
Windows computers are the best when they work
right, and when they do not start properly, they
become a headache and place themselves in
danger of being thrown from the nearest window.
If your Windows computer is plagued with error
messages, updates fail to install, programs
become unresponsive, or worst of all the system
will not start up at all, then before you consign it
to the scrap heap let me try and cure it.
To avoid the problems that can occur above your
computer or laptop needs regular maintenance to
keep it in tip top condition. Just like your car,
which requires an annual MOT, computers and
laptops also benefit from a periodic computer
MOT.
Computer MOT’s are not mandatory like your car
MOT but If your computer is running slow or
maybe you have lots of programs that appear to
have appeared from nowhere, all of these
symptoms are signs that a computer service is
required.
There is a difference between an operating
system crash and a hard drive crash. If your
Windows operating system crashes, that is a
Logical Failure. If the hard drive itself
malfunctions, that is a Physical failure. Either
way your data is not readily accessible but more
often than not it is still there. Of course, you
should have a backup plan just in case but if you
do not; there is still hope for your precious
pictures, documents, music etc. through a data
recovery solution I can provide.
