With the fast deployment of high-speed internet in this area, it is commonplace now to tie home computers together to make home networks so you can share files, printers and the internet. Doing this while keeping the network secure is the key consideration.


  Are you concerned about security?

 

One of the most common service calls today is removing viruses, trojans, spyware (a generic term for all this nasty stuff is scumware) from computers. It is far better to prevent these than to spend money on repairing your computers. With a little planning and discipline you can avoid scumware incidents.


I will install security measures to protect your computer and your personal information.

 

I will give you advice on how to keep your system up-to-date with the latest software (of your choice) to ensure you do not have any problems now and in the future.

 

I will show you what to do when you are threatened with a virus.

 Backup your system  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Many people ignore this important detail until their hard-drive crashes. Or they wish they could track changes of what’s on their drive from month to month.

 

I can show you different methods to back up your whole drive, and create a DVD boot disk.

 

 

 

  

Most often today, home networks are being used for home businesses.  Frequently overlooked items can be summed up in these questions:

 

  • Could you run your home network and home business if your computers were inoperable?

  • How long could you function without your computers?

  • How important is it to keep your systems running safely?

 

These questions will determine how you should plan and how much you should spend on your Information Systems.  If you cannot afford to lose your computers, plans for fault-tolerant systems need to be put into place. 


Additionally, plans for keeping backups of your data need to be formulated.  What happens if you have a fire?  Keeping data off-site may be necessary.
