The most common question our Orlando computer repair service customers ask us is, “Why is my computer so slow?”. More often than not, the answer is one of these three top issues which slow computers down:
Spyware Removal Service Needed
Spyware or Adware is any software installed on your computer without you knowing which reports what you’re doing back to it’s owner. It usually installs itself along with free screensavers, toolbars, shareware programs or pirated “warez” software downloads. Spyware is without a doubt the most common problem our customers have – over 90% of desktop computers have some kind of spyware installed, one of our Kissimmee computer repair customers had hundreds of unwanted programs installed and called us because her computer was completely unusable! It often causes your Internet connection to slow right down at first, then as more spyware piles on to your PC you’ll notice programs slowing down, pop-up windows (usually for gambling or adult sites) and strange things happening while you’re trying to use your PC. Be very careful when downloading spyware removal software as many free spyware nukers, spyware blasters, spyware blockers, eliminators and terminators are scams themselves and contain adware or viruses! You’ll need protection. After spyware removal from a spyware doctor (whether an anti spyware program or a qualified technician) you’ll notice a cleaner, faster PC. Our spyware removal service uses a number of custom written tools coupled with years of experience to make sure that all traces of adware are completely gone. Virus Removal Needed - Anti Virus Software not updated Viruses are programs which copy themselves onto your computer through unpatched security holes in the software your PC runs. The results can range from annoying to catastrophic – some viruses can steal passwords and credit card numbers, or allow criminals to hijack your PC to attack sites or commit crimes. For this reason you should always run anti virus protection software and keep your anti virus definition files updated. Virus removal can be difficult as the viruses bury themselves inside data files, so always scan more than once to make sure all traces of the virus are gone. Our favourite anti-virus software is AVG Anti Virus. Other options are Norton Anti-Virus, Norton Internet Security, MacAfee (McAfee), Avast, Kapersky and Panda Anti Virus. Some are free downloads and others are commercial software. If you have a small business network with a virus problem we would recommend one of Norton’s Corporate products which runs on your network to ensure privacy and security. Our virus removal service includes free anti-virus software for life. Out of free RAM! RAM memory is what your computer uses to do it’s thinking. Modern operating systems require more and more memory to operate smoothly. To find out how much RAM you have installed, go to your computer desktop, right click “My Computer” and select “Properties”. For Windows XP we recommend 512Mb of RAM and for Windows Vista anything less than 1Gb will run slowly. If you aren’t sure how to buy or upgrade RAM, ask us for advice on our FREE community help forum. Often our computer store will be able to supply you an upgrade at a price far less than Orlando Best Buy, Orlando Circuit City or Walmart Electronics in Orlando because those stores often mark up small components. What's more, you'll only pay $29.99 for us to deliver and install the RAM upgrade in the comfort of your own home or office. "Without a doubt the most common problems for our Orlando computer repair technicians to fix"
