Keep your computer secure and up-to-date with our Computer Maintenance Plan
Updated October 2023:
Since 2003 clients regularly ask us for a way to keep their computers secure and up-to-date, and not have to worry about the seemingly constant barrage of updates. With websites getting hacked on a daily basis, and the increasing chance of your personal information being lost or compromised, it’s more important than ever to keep your computer up-to-date and maintained.
With the Computer Techs Maintenance Plan, we will maintain, update and check the security on your computer on a convenient quarterly schedule. Service can be performed via a Remote Support session which takes about an hour. Services include:
- Install security updates for browser add-ons, program updates, available router updates, critical computer firmware and Windows updates
- Remove adware/toolbars/homepage hijackers
- Remove or disable unused or unnecessary apps that cause security or performance issues
- Check internet connection settings and remove any malicious scripts, DNS or proxy settings
- Virus/malware/adware scan
- Check hard drive health and used space
- Check back-up and system restore settings
- Defragment hard drive files
- Check browser settings and remove unnecessary extensions and allowed notification pop-ups
- Delete unnecessary temporary, log and update cache files to free up drive space
- Check Wi-Fi settings and adjust if interference or performance issues exist
- Check internet connection and speed tests
- Apply computer manufacturer’s urgent and recommended software and hardware updates if needed
- Check for print jobs stuck in the queue
- Check for frequent app crashes or system “blue screen” errors that could lead to more serious problems
Additional benefits of being on our quarterly Computer Maintenance Plan include:
- Priority callbacks and email replies with simple or easy-to-resolve issues or questions under 5 minutes at no charge.
- VIP rates: Receive regular (non-maintenance) in-home service calls at the same price as our remote rates (Save $20/hr)
When you sign up for the Computer Techs Computer Maintenance Plan, you’ll get all of the services above for less than the price of a house call – quarterly remote service for one computer is just $80 payable at the time of each quarterly service. Additional computers maintained during the same appointment time are just $20 each. Semi-annual remote appointments are also available for $89 and $30 for additional computers. On-site service is also available at regular VIP hourly rates. To sign-up for your initial quarterly remote service, schedule your appointment – or contact us for semi-annual and/or on-site service.
