Keep Your PC Running Smoothly with Our Comprehensive PC Healthcheck
Like any machine, your laptop or PC needs regular care to stay in top condition. Our PC healthcheck is a fixed-price service designed to keep your system performing at its best. This service includes a variety of performance tweaks, thorough anti-virus, malware, and rootkit scans, and personalized upgrade recommendations. You’ll receive a detailed written report outlining all the points covered in the PC healthcheck.
Just as a car needs servicing, neglecting your laptop or PC can lead to failures and breakdowns. Preventative maintenance is key. Dust, drawn in by your machine’s cooling fans, can settle inside, eventually causing overheating and potentially catastrophic failure. This failure can be costly, or even make repairs uneconomical. Beyond hardware issues, a neglected computer can become unbearably slow. Fortunately, there are steps you can take to speed up your PC, such as defragmenting the hard drive and ensuring your antivirus software is current and active. Our PC healthcheck addresses all these critical areas.
Why a PC Healthcheck is Crucial
Prevent Unexpected Breakdowns: Regular checks help identify and resolve minor issues before they escalate into significant problems, minimizing downtime and costly repairs.
Boost System Performance: A PC healthcheck clears unnecessary files, optimizes software, and disables unnecessary startup programs, ensuring your PC runs faster and more efficiently.
Enhance Cybersecurity: Our service verifies antivirus effectiveness, patches security vulnerabilities, and implements robust firewall settings to safeguard your data against evolving cyber threats.
Prolong PC Lifespan: By addressing performance bottlenecks and cleaning internal components, you can extend the life of your device and reduce the need for frequent upgrades.
Data Backup and Recovery: We assess your backup systems and recommend improved solutions to ensure critical files are safe, providing peace of mind against data loss.
Stay Up-to-Date: Regular checks ensure all applications and operating systems are updated to the latest versions, enhancing security and unlocking new features.
Cost Savings: By addressing potential issues early, you avoid expensive emergency repairs and extend the life of your existing hardware.
Improved User Experience: A well-maintained PC is more reliable and responsive, enhancing your overall computing experience.
Performing a PC healthcheck on a regular basis – we recommend at least once a year – is a prudent investment in the longevity and performance of your computer.

Dust is an insulator, and a computer caked in dust is at risk of a drastically reduced lifespan. As Lifehacker.com points out, "Not taking the time to dust out your computer once or twice a year is like being too busy to get your oil changed."
