PC Tuneup
PC Tune-Up: Performed in your home or
office!
Much like an automobile, your

applications clutter up the hard drive, files get
fragmented, and some applications can even spy on your
surfing habits, and get in the way of your Internet
access. A On-Site Computer Repair PC Tune Up will
enhance your computer's performance, and make sure
you're fully protected from security threats and
viruses. While we're at it, we'll provide
recommendations for how to make the most of the hardware
and software investments you've made.
The
service includes:
o Running Diagnostics
to check your system for hardware problems.
o
Update virus software and check for viruses
o
Check that your PC is secure from unauthorized
access
o Delete temporary and trash files
o Remove unnecessary programs from running at

components

disk space for your future usage

o Check your display settings are set
correctly
o Overall System evaluation
Let us professionally tune-up
your system for peak performance and
security!
Note: The PC Tune-Up
is service only and does not include any hardware or
software.

PC Selection,
Installation and Setup
So many
choices, so little time… On-Site Computer Repair can
help you determine the best type of PC to fit your needs
and budget, and provide the best sources for acquiring
it. On-Site Computer Repair can even procure or build
the system for you if appropriate (as in the case of Custom/High-performance
PCs). When the system is ready, On-Site Computer
Repair can install and configure the PC, and connect it
to your network and/or Internet access.

PC
Troubleshooting
PCs are complex and
when things go wrong they can become beasts. On-Site
Computer Repair's experienced technicians are adept at
quickly figuring out PC problems, and in many cases
fixing them right on the spot. In cases where hardware
has broken down, On-Site Computer Repair can determine
your best options for getting the system back up and
running, and provide replacement parts. In the process
of troubleshooting, it can also be opportune to upgrade
at the same time, to improve performance, storage
capacity or functionality.

Hardware
Installations/Upgrades
Hardware
installations can be intimidating even for people who
are computer-savvy. Whether you're adding a scanner,
a bigger disk drive, more RAM, or any number of other
hardware upgrades (or replacements), On-Site Computer
Repair can help in a number of ways. We can provide the
best recommendations for achieving your goals, the best
brands and most cost-effective sources from which to
obtain parts. On-Site Computer Repair can also provide
parts directly, and install them for you, while
guaranteeing that things will work when it's all put
back together. With On-Site Computer Repair, you'll
always get "plug and play" rather than "plug and pray"!

Software
Installations/Upgrades
Unfortunately,
just like with hardware, software installation can be
perilous and is often tedious, such as when upgrading
your computer operating system. On-Site Computer
Repair will make any software installation or upgrade
painless for you by making sure things are set up right.
Our technicians know where all the updated drivers are,
and they know the things that software manufacturers
don't tell you in the manuals, such as how different
software packages and options effect each other, degrade
performance, etc.

The
Internet provides a powerful (and dizzying) array of
opportunities for the home user. What level of
access do you need, and what is the most effective and

you're looking for from your Internet services, and that
they are properly integrated into your home network.

Internet and
Email Access - Selection, Installation, and
Setup
There are more options for and
details involved in setting up your Internet accounts
than you may might want to deal with. But if you
don't look at the fine print, you will probably end up
paying way more than you should for less service.
Answer? Let On-Site Computer Repair help you find the
service vendor and options that suit you and your
family. If you like, On-Site Computer Repair will handle
the whole process, including installation and setup.
Businesses have IT managers who set up their email and
Internet services - why shouldn't you?

Internet
Connection Sharing
If you have
multiple PCs in your household, you can network
them together to provide everyone with fast Internet
service from a single connection. Not only does this
save a lot of money over setting all your family members
up separately, but the convenience and flexibility is
terrific! On-Site Computer Repair can set you up
painlessly to enjoy "always on" web and email access -
you'll never go back once you experience it.

have their own web sites, for more reasons than we could
recount here. On-Site Computer Repair offers a
variety of web hosting options, and can help you get

domain names to planning, designing, and posting your
data. We work with a variety of Internet service

Virus
Protection
What do all these hackers do
for a living? Contrary to popular suspicions, they
don't work for the companies that provide anti-virus
software… In fact, On-Site Computer Repair is very happy
to provide our customers with Norton virus detection and
removal software from Symantec,
and help make sure your system is secure from these
common threats. In the event that a virus is successful
in scrambling your system, On-Site Computer Repair is

Home
Networks
The
phenomenal increase in home networks can be attributed
to 1) lowering costs of network hardware and software;
2) improvement in network performance and reliability;
3) the compelling benefits networks provide. If you
have more than one PC and more than one user in a
household, odds are you would benefit quite a bit from
installing a network in your home. And these days,
installing a network is easier and more cost-effective
than ever with the wide availability of wireless
networking.

Network Selection, Installation and
Setup
Now you can have the same types
of advantages in the home that only businesses had until
recently- sharing of Internet connections, files,
printers, and other resources. On-Site Computer Repair's
experienced technicians can help you navigate through
the many choices involved, help you obtain and install
the pieces, and configure it all so it works the way you
need it to. Current PCs, printers, and other peripherals
can usually be integrated, allowing you to leverage your
previous hardware investments in new ways.

Network
Troubleshooting
As wonderful as they
are, networks can be as confounding as PCs when things
go wrong. Fortunately, On-Site Computer Repair's
technicians are network experts who can help you keep
your network resources up and running and properly
"talking to each other." Troubleshooting is one of the
most important things we do to help our
customers.

File, Printer, and Fax
Sharing
Files, printers, and fax
should be shared, not duplicated. Networks tie all
of these resources together, for convenience, value, and
flexibility. On-Site Computer Repair can help you get
more bang for your buck by making any sharable resource
available to any trusted computer (and user) to take
advantage of shared data and devices.

Are
you aware of all the different ways that private and
potentially sensitive data (such as email, credit card
numbers, family data, etc.) can be seen by other people
you don't know or trust? On-Site Computer Repair can
do a security assessment of your current network, PC
applications, settings, and habits, and recommend ways
to keep private data private, while still getting the
benefits of networking and Internet access. As part of
our standard services, we can set up a firewall to
protect your network against outside
intruders.

Data
Backups
Are your digital photos
sitting on a single hard drive with no backup? Your
financial records? Even at home, there is critical
data you wouldn't want to lose when a hard drive fails
or a virus (or wayward child) deletes your files.
On-Site Computer Repair can help you figure out
a convenient and effective way to protect your data by
making redundant copies of it either on other computers
or on offline media such as CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, or tape.
In many cases automated processes can be created
that require very little attention or maintenance.

Data
Backup Solutions
In today's world, it
takes more than an occasional file copy to floppy disk
to handle your backup needs. Floppy disks just don't
cut it for backing up your data. On-Site Computer Repair
can assess your backup needs based on the types of files
you create, and put together a solution that fits.
-back to

Multi-PC Data Backups
You can introduce a lot of additional data
protection simply by copying data between multiple
computers on the same network. This process can be
automated, so that computers "synchronize" with each
other periodically. On-Site Computer Repair can set this
up for you as part of a comprehensive scheme for
protecting your systems against loss of
valuable/irreplaceable data such as financial records,
family digital photos, etc.

Data
Transfer
Sometimes you need to move
data from one computer to another. In the case of
moving all your email data, web favorites, application
data, etc. it may not be clear (or easy) to recreate the
same data on the destination computer. On-Site Computer
Repair can do this for you.
-back to

Data
Recovery
If the unthinkable occurs,
there may be a way out. In the case of hard drive
failure, for example, it is often possible to recover
lost data using highly technical tools. On-Site Computer
Repair can quickly help you determine what your options
are, and in many cases recover at least some of your
data. Of course, if you contact us now, we can help you
to set up a robust data backup scheme, and you most
likely won't ever need this service!

custom PC providers.

Applications
The ability to
run useful (and fun) "apps" is a major reason you have a
computer. There are many thousands of applications
that run on PCs, and it can be challenging to find the
right application for what you're trying to do with so
many to choose from.
On-Site Computer Repair can
often provide help in finding the right application for
you, either from our direct experience with many
