Januarys Tips

Here are a few simple things you can do to get you out of trouble with your computer.  The first tip is the old favourite – “have you tried turning it off and on again?” This applies to computers, modems and other network devices, printers etc.  If all else fails pull the plug out of the back, then plug it in again. Honestly, it fixes 75% of issues we are called about.

Secondly, preventative maintenance.  Download these two programs:  CCleaner (www.piriform.com) and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware (www.malwarebytes.org).   Run them every month.  They will go 90% of the way to keeping your computer virus free and your browsing fast.  They don’t replace your permanent virus protection but are an additional thing you can do manually each month.  They are the first two tools we use on most troubleshooting jobs and we install them on every PC that comes through the workshop.  Happy computing!
