Computer Maintenance & Servicing
To keep your computer running well I recommend you have it checked every 12 months. I can check that your security protection software is updated and that the latest Windows or Mac OS X is installed, I will also update any hardware drivers. Hardware manufacturer's do release updates from time to time, and these can be important for stability and performance. I also recommend that backups are done weekly or monthly depending on your individual needs.
Computer Consultancy
IT consultancy is something I have traditionally always provided for FREE. I know that there are so many choices of what to buy and how to deal with safety and backups. You only need ask through a email or in more urgent cases call me direct. Allow me to help you fulfill your requirements and get you set up in a way that will bring you a great peace of mind. However, there will be times where you need an insurance claim after storm damage (or other types of damage), in which case a small administration fee is charged to write a official report for your insurance company. Note: A number of Insurance Companies will reimburse the fee.
Spyware, Adware, Malware and Ransomware Removal
Today, many types of computer threats are basically ransom "traps" that come from infected web sites, links in emails, or simply risky searching on the internet for software, movies and music as "free". Basically, some (clever) bait is laid down for people to fall into some scheme that then becomes a demand for money over a variety of usually 'fake' reasons, along with a 'threat' to expose you over bad "adult" site habits, fake traffic infringements or worse you find that all the data on your Windows system has been encrypted with a hard-lock code and you have to pay a large amount to (possibly) get your data back. Truth is, Hackers and Criminals have (and will) devise many ways to fool users - and ask for money (usually via BitCoin). In the near future, do not surprised if when you hear about attackers holding a system hostage with ransomware, they will be demanding payment via Monero (open source crypto-currency), and likely not BitCoin.
