PC TUNE UPS
Does my computer need an oil change?

Is your computer running slow or idling rough? Does it stall or have trouble accelerating? Like finding a quality auto mechanic, it's important to find a trustworthy computer technician who knows how to fix your PC on the first try. Just like cars, computers benefit greatly from regular maintenance.

Our specialty is optimizing your computer's performance using our 10-Point PC Tune Up checklist:

1. Turn off unused programs. Fewer programs running in the background equals faster computer.

2. Scan your PC for malware, spyware and viruses that can stop your PC faster than a flat tire.

3. Remove unused programs to help improve system performance.

4. Clean out the hard drive. Like cleaning out the trunk of your car, less “junk” equals better mileage.

5. Defrag your hard drive to improve drive performance –every “motorist” should perform every three months.

6. Update applications - like new tires, this will improve PC safety in all types of weather.

7. Back up critical data. Like a second set of keys, it’s always a good idea to make a spare copy of important files.

8. Dust removal. Vacuuming* the interior and exterior of your PC can help your computer breathe easier, like changing the air filter.

9. Install Windows updates to keep your computer idling smoothly and avoiding potential hazards on the Information Superhighway.

10. Check hard drive for errors. This helps ensure that your PC’s “engine” is running efficiently.
