Technology Tips
SYSTEM PERFORMANCE
The number one issue we see is with spyware and virus infection. These items can take your computer and bring it to a crawl. Many people ask us why their system is so much slower than when they first purchased it, and this is often the reason. The second issue that causes major loss of performance is too many items loading at startup. One of the tech's at DeBug would be happy to remove any spyware and virus infections, and cleanup your startup tray, restoring your system performance. We can also educate you on how to keep you system clean and keep these issues from reoccuring.
DATA BACKUP
Are you backing up your data? We take on new clients every week, and are frequently surprised to find out they are NOT backing up their data! A computer hard drive is a mechanical device, and it will eventually fail. It is CRITICAL that you backup any documents, photos, and music that are valuable to you. Backups can be quick, easy, and painless, and are a whole lot cheaper than data recovery! We would be happy to help you evaluate your current backup strategy, or come up with one that is easy, practical, and that will work for you.
SECURE YOUR DATA
You'd be shocked at how easy it is to guess many users passwords. A basic knowledge of their child's or pets name, phone number, or even zip code, will often grant an unscrupulous person access to a users computer. An easy way to come up with a complex password that is easy to remember is to use a simple sentence, without spaces, and utilize at least one uppercase charactor, a number, and special character such as an exclamation point or asterisk. Example: Spr1ngisAwesome! would be a very secure password, and can be easy to remember if it has meaning to you.
