Data Backup and Retrieval

How often do you back up your PC? If your hard drive were to crash or your laptop were stolen, would you lose important data? An Operation Technology PC technician can recommend the necessary hardware and software to automatically back up your hard drive, without worry. In addition to helping you to back up your data safely, we also offer data-recovery services that can try to recover lost files resulting from hardware malfunctions, software conflicts or viruses. Even if you've inadvertently deleted old photos, MP3's or documents, we may be able to recover them for you.

Virus / Spyware Removal

Does it seem like your computer has a life of its own? If you're like most Americans, you surf the Internet daily. Pop-up windows appear and you close them. Unbeknownst to you, malicious programs (otherwise knows as "malware", "spyware" or "adware") are installed without your approval, and they end up slowing down the performance your computer. Unfortunately, Microsoft Windows does not protect you from malware. Our PC technicians use a variety of software tools to rid your computer of these programs, prevent them in the future and speed up the performance so you can enjoy the Internet without worry. Just contact us to schedule an appointment.

Internet Security and Firewall

How secure is your computer? Is your neighbor surfing your hard drive while using your internet connection? As Internet usage has grown, so has the number of security threats. Our technicians can install firewall software that will prevent unauthorized entry into your computer. Firewalls are crucial if you have an always-on internet connection (DSL or cable modem). Protect yourself and your family's sensitive data.

Computer Networking

If you have more than one PC in your home, have you considered networking them together? A home network allows your computers to share photos, documents and videos, and even an Internet connection. Even better, a wireless network is the cutting-edge way to connect all of the PC’s, laptops and printers in your home. Wireless networks are perfect for people who want to surf the Internet from the balcony, patio or any room in the house. When you go wireless, you won't have the inconvenience of tripping over messy network cables.

Microsoft Office Troubleshooting

Is Microsoft Office crashing? Do you lose documents? An Operation Technology computer technician can make sure your M.S. Office software has the most up-to-date software patches and security updates from Microsoft. Do you need M.S. Outlook configured to grab your email? Get help with Microsoft install issues.

Preventative Measures

Similar to your automobile, your computer needs constant care, which means keeping it free of dust. Regular maintenance may prevent heat build-up issues that occur when dust, dirt and even crumbs can cause a hardware component to fail. When was the last time your PC had a thorough cleaning? If it has been more than six months, it is time to schedule a preventative maintenance visit. Our technicians will inspect and clean the following:

• Screen cleaning
• Keyboard: vacuum and clean
• Printer: vacuum inside and clean outside
• Desktop computer: vacuum inside, clean outside
• Inspect and reconnect all cables
