When was the last time you had your personal computer in for a maintenance check? If it’s been a while, it would be a good idea to contact an IT services and computer repair company.
Why? Because computers require routine maintenance to ensure that they’re in optimal condition. Furthermore, there are issues that may lurk beyond the surface that only an expert technician may be able to discover.
Have you some or all of your files recently? Many users, approximately 31%, have claimed that they’ve lost all their files to the proverbial “events beyond their control.” On a weekly basis somewhere in the United States, there is the devastating sound of 140,000 hard drives crashing.
While systems can crash for a variety of reasons, viruses may just be one of the culprits. Spyware can also create system glitches which may lead to computer crashes. Then there’s all that spam . . .
A recent survey showed that 24 million households in the United States have been experiencing heavy spam. There are a variety of spam filters available, which is something that an experienced technician from an IT services and computer repair service can install for you.
In the past 6 months, 8 million households have had issues with spyware. When you have regular computer maintenance, a technician will run a systems check to determine if you have any spies lurking in your system. This is, as you know, an increasing concern with new spyware being detected all the time.
When it comes to viruses, 40% of American households have been recently affected by these. You may be aware that you can defend against viruses with antivirus software. However, if you don’t have antivirus software, and you suspect or know for a fact that your computer is already infected, then it’s good to know there are virus removal tools available.
No one wants their smartphone, laptop, or personal computer to be on-the-fritz, infected, or irrevocably destroyed. Part of ensuring that these essential devices are there when you need them and working optimally is to have regular basic maintenance. Why wait until these devices are broken to fix them?
