How to Make Computer Issues A Thing of the Past

2/25/2017

 
We repair many computers and laptops each week, but unfortunately this is often “closing the barn door after the horse has bolted.” Computers have a habit of dying at the worst possible time, like when an important project is due tomorrow, or before you copy family photos to a backup. Fortunately, we’ve combined our repair services with preventative measures to ensure this doesn’t happen to you. Our new managed IT services can remotely take care of all the computers in your house, protecting you against both threats and system failures.

Anti-malware always up-to-date:  While many users have anti-malware software installed, they don’t often have the latest virus and threat definitions and the software may not be configured properly for the best protection. These systems are at risk every minute they spend online, as the anti-malware simply will not pick up and stop an unknown threat.

New viruses and hacking threats arise every day, and there are entire companies dedicated to creating updates to catch them. We make sure your anti-malware definitions are always up-to-date, keeping your computer secure against even the newest threats. If you don’t have anti-malware installed or you are using a free product, don’t worry! Our managed IT plans include award-winning Emsisoft Anti-malware for no additional fee!
​
Software patches: Hackers like to spend their time figuring out new ways to break into computer systems. Software companies like Microsoft and Apple release regular patches to close these security holes. The patches are supposed to be applied automatically, but we often find that this isn’t the case; sometimes the patches didn’t download, were canceled by the user or produced an error. Our services involve remotely checking that each patch has been applied successfully, and troubleshooting if required. As an added advantage, any time new features are packaged into an update, you’ll find them already installed for you.

Early failure detection: Some parts in your computer send out warnings when they’re about to die. Unfortunately, they’re often not literal alarm bells (that would be too convenient), but rather information in the background or in log files that need to be manually checked. We monitor these messages and advise repairs as required.

Data protection: The hard drives which store your information do eventually wear out, but they’re only one of the parts that send out early failure warnings. We monitor these components to give you ample warning so that you have time to back up your important files. When it’s time, we’ll work with you to arrange drive replacement, making sure to either clone or re-install your operating system and restore your personal files. You can also take the opportunity to upgrade from a hard drive to an SSD and get a big speed boost for your computer at the same time!

Tune-ups: Even the most cared for computer will slow down over time. Hard drives become cluttered, operating systems corrupt and ghosts of uninstalled programs still remain. We remotely schedule and run a regular maintenance routine that will keep your system running in tip-top condition.
​
Our managed IT service happens entirely behind the scenes, so there is no disruption to your experience. You simply enjoy the benefits of having your own IT specialist team at one flat, low cost. You and your family continue to use your computer/s as normal, the only difference is problems are fixed BEFORE they happen and your system has the very best security against threats.
