Computer Virus Repair, Removal and Online Security
Fast & thorough computer virus repair
Even computer systems with virus software installed may become infected from time to time. Our service professionals have extensive experience in detecting, isolating, cleaning and rebuilding infected systems. We can also optimize your system for online security. We can recommend several software packages ranging from name brand virus software and security optimization packages to inexpensive yet effective shareware and freeware solutions.
When is computer virus repair a must?
Any time you discover a virus on your computer.
Computer viruses can be devastating, crippling your operating system and programs to the point where you cannot use your computer at all. Immediate attention is required if you want to recover your files and documents.
As if that isn't bad enough, some viruses scour your computer and send email (containing the virus, of course) to every email address found -- thereby spreading themselves across the Internet. And some viruses send out attachments -- files and documents taken from your computer -- which seriously compromises the security (privacy) of your information, confidential files, and personal communications.
It is imperative that any computer virus repair be done immediately.
Am I going to lose my data?
Possibly not. In most cases, we can retrieve your files and documents and, in many more, the operating system itself with minor trouble. Again, it's imperative that computer virus repair be conducted immediately.
Anti-virus software
Computer anti-virus software is extremely helpful, but it will only catch viruses that it KNOWS about -- that is, viruses that it's already been programmed to catch. Nowadays, unfortunately, anti-virus software can easily be disabled by the latest viruses.
As part of our service, we'll check your anti-virus software to determine if you have an effective anti-virus program, and that it has the latest updates -- and we can configure your anti-virus software to get the latest updates automatically for you.
If you have a computer virus -- Particularly bad computer viruses can be difficult to remove, but we have the equipment and expertise to remove them for you -- with on-site pickup and delivery of your computer.
If you suspect that your computer has a virus, or you need help with anti-virus software, please call us immediately.
Why is your computer not stable?
What are spyware and adware?
Spyware: software that you run on your computer which tracks where you go on the Internet so that this data can be then sold to marketing companies.
Adware: software that runs on your computer as a server and pulls in advertising from other Internet servers. Adware is made obvious in the following forms:
- Popup windows even when you are not browsing the Internet. (Not all popup windows are from adware however.)
- A "toolbar" in your Internet Explorer, Windows Explorer and other Windows program windows.
- Your homepage (the first page you see when you open Internet Explorer) is all of a sudden not what it was.
- Other "strange" things going on when browsing the Internet.
The intention of these programs is to make money by throwing advertisements up on your screen.
Adware and Spyware make your computer unstable
So what's the big deal?
I've heard many times: "I don't care if others know where I go on the Internet!"
That's okay with me, too - but what is not okay, is the fact that these programs are using your computers at the same time you are trying to get production done. This means that while your employees are busy creating spreadsheets, documents or whatever they do, other programs are running in the background talking to computers on the Internet - AND THESE PROGRAMS MAKE YOUR COMPUTERS UNSTABLE.
If you want to be able to get work done, you don't want adware or spyware running on them.
Call us today and we will come right out and get rid of intrusive spyware and adware so that your computers can be stable again and teach you how to prevent spyware!!
Software and Hardware Diagnostics
Over time, computers can become cluttered and have various components fail. Our service personnel are trained in the latest software and hardware diagnostic procedures. Whether it's replacing a modem, installing a hard drive, upgrading your operating system, or replacing a motherboard, you can trust Access Computing to get you up and running for a fraction of the cost.
System Cleanup and Optimization
After months of use, registries can become corrupted, temp files can build up and performance can suffer greatly. Add spyware and adware into the equation and your system can slow to a crawl. We specialize in cleaning and rebuilding registries, locating and deleting all of your temp files, ridding you of annoying spyware and adware, and optimizing your system so it will run like it did when it was new.
Keep your computer systems (and your office) running smoothly.
Your computer systems are an expensive investment, but without maintenance, they can stop at any time, costing you even more. Productivity comes to a halt while employees can't do what you are paying them to do - as customers and clients are forced to wait.
We can help. To keep your office running smoothly and efficiently, our computer maintenance services include:
- regular, scheduled maintenance and inspection of your computer systems to minimize downtime and wear
- cleaning for optimal operation
- inspection and testing of backup systems
- hardware testing
- file and hard drive defragmentation
Computer maintenance can help avoid future computer problems
Our expert technicians can help to spot future computer problems, like hardware that needs repair, or software that may need security patches, virus protection or upgrades.
With our computer maintenance technicians on hand in your office, you'll also be able to discuss your current or future needs, and plan for needed upgrades and expansion - and you can schedule this in for your next on-site appointment.
Call us today at (607) 937-8546 to schedule your computer maintenance visit. You'll find our fees are reasonable and our technicians prompt and courteous.
