• PC Tune Up /
Healthcheck and
Preventative Maintenance |
Keeping your computer up to date and secure is as important as
regular servicing and changing of the oil in your car. Like any machine,
your computer needs constant care and will become slower and start to have
problems if not tuned regularly. This means keeping it free of dust,
malicious software, and viruses and ensuring the hard drive is maintained to
reduce problems in the future.
You may be surprised at how fast your
computer runs after being serviced, as over time your computer gets bogged
down with unnecessary data. It is recommended that your computer is tuned up
every six months to ensure smooth running and prevent future problems.

PC Healthcheck service to ensure your computer
is running as fast and efficiently as possible, Adams Computer Services
will:-

clutter and temporary files that are no longer needed which will speed up
and free space on your hard drive - Check your hard disk is functioning
properly and efficiently, ensuring it is free of defects and errors - Schedule
preventative checks so your computer can automatically run maintenance tasks
every week/month to ensure your computer is running as efficiently as
possible - Clean the computer inside and out to remove dust and dirt to
avoid damage (if required) - Carry out other tasks to optimize performance

small, but if it is not treated it can get out of hand and may bring the
computer to a grinding halt. No matter what kind of computer you have, you
need to have it immunized from malicious software. According the the BBC

knowing. If you suspect you have
any viruses, then contact Adams Computer Services to remove them fully for you.

of damaged is caused, we can backup your important data and repair or reload
your operating system. |

• Wireless / Wired Networking |
If you want the freedom of using the
internet from the bedroom, garden, garage or anywhere in your home, then a
wireless network is the answer. It will also allow you to share your
internet connection, your printer and other files between any of your other
computers, bringing convenience and saving you the extra expense of buying
additional printers.
Adams Computer Services can setup and
install a wireless network to suit your needs and ensure the connection is
fast and secure. We are experienced in setting up and configuring peer to peer networks
(hard wired and wireless) and in correcting network problems. We can help
you with anything from two to ten computers, and will ensure that your
network is correctly setup and secured properly so other people can't access
your private files and internet connection.
Wireless networks are
perfect for people who want to connect laptop and desktop computers or for
people who don’t like to be tied down with wires. With wireless, you don’t
have the inconvenience of tripping over unsightly cables. Contact Adams
Computer Services and we can provide you with the best solution for your
setup.
Mobile internet is another
broadband option that has become a popular method of connecting to the
internet. It relies on having a pay as you go or contract mobile dongle from
one of the mobile phone providers and can provide a cost effective
alternative to landline broadband.
Mobile broadband can be especially useful
if you use a laptop on the go as you can access the internet wherever you
are as long as you can pick up a mobile phone signal from your provider.
Please contact us if you need any assistance on setting it up. |

• Data Backup & File Transfer |
How often do you backup your hard drive data? If your computer data
was suddenly damaged, hit by a virus, accidentally deleted or stolen, would
you lose your valuable data, like digital photos, business details, contacts
and emails? We can transfer or backup your important files,
email and favourites settings and data for you.
If your computer software or
operating system is already damaged to the point that it requires a new
installation, we can attempt to recover and backup your data before we reinstall.
It is also possible to recover files that you may have deleted accidentally.
If this is the case, stop using your computer, as the files may become
unrecoverable if they are written over by newer files. |
|
• Firewall and
Internet Security |
If your computer is online you need to ensure you make it as secure
as possible to prevent unwanted spyware, hacking and access to your personal
details and files. As internet usage has grown, so have security threats.
You can protect yourself and your computer by ensuring you have all the
security patches for windows and installing a firewall, which keeps
intruders from sneaking into your computer and accessing your private data.
Firewalls also can alert you when spyware programs attempt to transmit your
sensitive information over the internet. In particular, firewalls are
crucial if you have the always-on internet connection of DSL or a cable
modem (most high speed connections). Protect yourself, your computer and
your family today. |
