PC Health Check


The PC Health Check involves a complete examination and evaluation of the health of your computer

A security check will be performed to make sure your PC is not infected with viruses or spyware, and that it is running adequate virus and firewall software to protect you whilst using the internet. All relevant security patches, fixes and updates for Microsoft Windows and other important software will also be installed to protect you as much as possible

Diagnostic tests will be performed on all hardware to make sure that all components are functioning correctly and that there are no problems with your hard disks which could lead to computer failure and/or data loss

Your internet connection will be tested to make sure it is working correctly and that you are getting the best speed available in your area, and also if you have a wireless connection it will be checked to make sure it is secure

Routine maintenance will also be carried out to make sure that the computer is configured correctly and is running as optimally as possible, including checking all error logs and cleaning up the accumulation of temporary files which build up over time and slow down your computer

A complete customized report of all work done and any problems found will then be emailed to you (click here to see a sample report)

It is highly recommended that you consider having your PC checked at least once every 12 months, with so many cases of internet related crime it is better to make sure you are protected before you get caught out

only £30 - Discount available for multiple computers

(or £50 including a 1 year subscription to AVG Internet Security)

Virus Removal


Rid your PC of those troublesome viruses....

PC Assist @ Home provide a complete scanning and removal service to cleanse your PC of viruses, spyware and other malware that can slow down your PC and in some cases capture your personal and financial details

£25 per hour

It is worth noting that not all infections can be removed during the time of an on-site visit and with your permission in these circumstances I would take the PC back to my workshop so I can safely back up any critical data before fully cleaning it of any infections

If the PC is so badly infected that it cannot be cleaned, then all data can usually be safely recovered and the PC reinstalled and returned to factory settings using the restore disks you received or created when buying the computer



Email Support


If you need some technical advice, support or just have the reassurance there is someone to ask if it all goes wrong then email based support is right for you

It enables you to have email access to a fully qualified computer engineer who can lend a hand and help you through those troublesome computer issues

Easy to follow email instructions will guide you through helping to make your computer experiences stress free, and without the huge support line costs offered by some companies

only £60 per year









Memory Upgrades


One of the most important areas of your computer is the memory (RAM) and if your PC doesn't have enough (which most older PC's don't) then it can run very slowly

Upgrading your memory is a cost effective way of prolonging its life without replacing it

Click the link below to visit the Crucial memory website where you can scan your PC to see how much memory you have and order a suitable upgrade

Get more memory at Crucial.com!

Crucial are the leading supplier of memory (RAM) upgrades for your PC, with a lifetime warranty and super fast delivery

To perform the scan scroll down to the bottom of the page and either select your PC manufacturer in the list or click "find it for you" to automatically scan your computer - after a few moments the advisor will show you the upgrade options

I would recommend the following amounts of memory for your PC:-

Windows XP

1Gb minimum - 2Gb optimum
(N.B. The maximum memory supported by Windows XP is 3Gb)

Windows Vista / Windows 7

2Gb minimum - 3Gb+ optimum (the more the better!)
(N.B. You need a 64-bit version of Windows Vista / 7 to fully utilize more than 3Gb)

Remote Support


Not all problems require an on-site visit to fix them...

Using the latest secure remote access software I can connect to your computer, and resolve many problems quickly over the internet

This service is not suitable for all computer problems, and your internet connection needs to be fully working to allow me to connect

It is completely secure and I cannot gain access to your computer without you first giving me the password supplied by the remote access software, which means you have to allow me access each time, so you can be assured that no one is going to access your computer without your knowledge

If you have a problem that needs fixing then contact me via email or the contact form on this website with full details, and I will reply to let you know if it is something that can be fixed remotely or if it requires an on-site visit
