| SpyWare/Adware Detection & Removal | Virus Detection & Removal |
If your computer has become increasingly sluggish or is constantly displaying annoying pop-up ads, you may have spyware or adware programs running on your computer.

No computer should be without updated antivirus software. Antivirus software not only protects your computer from harm, but also helps to prevent you from accidentally passing viruses to friends and family when sending emails or sharing files. Keeping your antivirus software updated is crucial. Outdated antivirus software offers no protection against new viruses that seem to be released daily. If you're unsure about which antivirus software to install or how to configure it, just ask our experts. |
Preventative Maintenance |
Data Backup & Recovery |
You wouldn't drive a car for years without changing the oil, so why ignore your computer? Just like a car, your computer needs constant care- which means keeping your computer programs and operating system tuned-up. Keeping your computer dust-free is also critical to preventing heat build-up and hardware failures. Regular maintenance is the key to keeping your PC running smoothly and preventing bigger repair expenses down the road. When was the last time your PC had a tune-up or thorough cleaning? If it's been more than 10-12 months, it's time to schedule a Preventative Maintenance visit. For businesses - call us to ask about setting up a maintenance schedule for your computers! |
How important is your data to you? If your computer were suddenly damaged or stolen, would you lose valuable data? What about your MP3 collection or your digital photographs? No matter how well you treat your system, no matter how much care you take, you cannot guarantee that your data will be safe if it exists in only one place. The risks are much greater than most people realize. We can help you with a backup strategy to safeguard your valuable data. Along with helping you to store your data safely, we can also assist with recovery of lost files and data as a result of hardware malfunctions, software conflicts, or viruses. |
Networks |
Internet Security & Firewalls |
|
If you have more than one computer in your home or office, have you considered networking them? A network allows your computers to share files, a printer, and an Internet connection. There are many different choices when it comes to the type of network you may need and installation can be frustrating as well as time consuming for consumers. Whether you're interested in a wired or wireless network, ProTech can setup and configure a solution to meet your needs. We also offer a great Wireless Home Network Startup Package designed to get your home network up and running in short order! |
How secure is your home computer or network? Have you downloaded the latest patches and updates for Windows? As internet usage has grown, so have security threats. One way to protect yourself is to install 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. Protect yourself and your family…with help from ProTech Computer Solutions. |
