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
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
