Have you noticed that your computer seems to run a lot slower than when you first purchased it? This is a common problem and it’s not your imagination. Although the computer itself isn’t running slower, over time there are factors introduced that cause the computer to work harder and process more and more data that is no longer necessary.
Our Tune-Up & Virus Removal service is designed to address this issue along with identifying potential problems. Sometimes a slow computer is the first sign of a failing hard drive or possible other hardware issues. All hardware will be tested and if found faulty we will contact you and discus your options.
Over time as you install software, drivers, browser plugins and other programs the installers will register some of the program processes as system resources or edit the registry to run the processes at system startup slowing down your computer. The more active running processes running in the background the less processing power your computer has to run the programs you are using.
At CMD Computer, we have skilled technicians who deal with this on a daily basis. We review the processes running in the background and in your system registry and remove the unwanted processes, returning wanted computing power back to your computer. Our skilled technicians are well versed in virus and spyware removal, which are also key factors in slow running computers.
Viruses are nasty byproducts of the internet. Many unscrupulous individuals write small pieces of code and stick them in any number of places they think your computer may access. Unprotected computers are not aware of the mal intent of this code and execute it. The results can be anything from a simple one time inconvenience, to a nasty worm that duplicates itself and attempts to send it to all your friends in a neat harmless looking package. This not only causes harm to your computer, it also causes those that trusted a message coming from you to get infected as well.
Viruses are always evolving. Even with the latest virus definitions (the way anti-virus software recognizes viruses), a clever coder can come up with a new way to sneak into software vulnerabilities before they are realized and patched (fixed). When this happens, many times people attempt to fix this problem themselves. Sometimes they are successful, but for the most part viruses hide themselves. Even if you get the problem fixed the next time you reboot the computer, the virus reinstalls itself and all the work done trying to rid the computer of the pesky code is wasted.
At CMD Computer, we have skilled technicians that deal with this on a daily basis. We understand how the various virus infections operate. We go in and get rid of all iterations of the virus down to the root in the registry. We clean it up, repair it and make sure the bothersome critters are gone.
There are occasions when the damage to the system files is too great and the best solution is to just start over. We offer this service as well, and in two tiers: Basic Reinstall and Advanced Reinstall. Please visit these links to learn more. In the case that a reinstall is needed, it is very rare that you will lose any personal data (pictures, documents, financial data, emails, contacts, etc…).
