PC Healthcheck and Preventative Maintenance
Keeping your computer up-to-date and secure is as important as regular servicing and changing of the oil in your car. Like any machine, your computer needs constant care and will become slower and start to have problems if not tuned regularly. This means keeping it free of dust, malicious software, and viruses and ensuring the hard drive is maintained to reduce problems in the future. You may be surprised at how fast your computer runs after being serviced, as over time your computer gets bogged down with unnecessary data. It is recommended that your computer is tuned up every 6-12 months to ensure smooth running and prevent future problems.

Data Backup & File Transfer
How often do you backup your hard drive data? If your computer data was suddenly damaged, hit by a virus, accidentally deleted or stolen, would you lose your valuable data, like digital photos, business details, contacts and emails? We can transfer or backup your important files, email and favourites settings and data for you. If your computer software or operating system is already damaged to the point that it requires a new installation, we can attempt to recover and backup your data before we reinstall. It is also possible to recover files that you may have deleted accidentally. If this is the case, stop using your computer, as the files may become unrecoverable if they are written over by newer files.
