Data backup and recovery
There are many reasons to perform a regular backup of your computer files,
photos etc: accidental file deletion, computer failure, virus or spyware
infection, free up disk space, transfer files to a new computer, theft,
or other events (like floods) beyond your control.
Call Computer Business Services at 854-0485 to configure your backup to run automatically to a CD, DVD or external backup drive -- or to recover files if your computer has already crashed.
Maintenance and prepaid service
contracts
Over time, computers slow down and may even grind to a halt. Taking a
proactive approach with regular maintenance will help prevent disasters
- like computer crashes or virus infection - and keep your computer up
and running at optimal speeds. Computer Business Services is now offering discounted
regular maintenance contracts and pre-paid service contracts - send an
email or call us at 854-0485 for more details.
Remote assistance
Sometimes the best way to fix a problem is to have someone show you how.
Windows Remote Assistance is a convenient way for Computer Business Services
staff to connect to your computer and walk you through a solution. To
prevent unauthorized access to your computer when using Windows Remote
Assistance, all sessions are encrypted and password-protected. Send an
email or call us at 854-0485 for more details on remote assistance, or
refer to the resource file: Request
remote assistance for your computer.
Technology assessments and upgrades
Before purchasing any new piece of computer equipment or software, it's
important to know what you already have and know how far you can upgrade
your existing systems before requiring new ones. Computer Business Services will assess
and prepare documentation of your existing systems, then research and
test the new products (when demos are available from supplier), ensuring
you are purchasing exactly what you need. And when the new equipment arrives,
we'll also look after the installation, configuration and regular maintenance.
Virus detection and removal
Today, protection against computer viruses and other malware is essential
when connecting to the Internet or even switching a computer on. If you've
ever had a virus attack your computer, you already know the importance
of using anti-virus software and keeping it current. If you've never had
a virus attack - you don't want one.
Whether you've purchased anti-virus software, or are using a free version, Computer Business Services will configure your software to ensure your computer is completely protected. If you've waited too long and already have a virus, we have a variety of removal tools available to help clean your system.
