Laptop software repairs and upgrades in Croydon.
Laptop repairs are not always about fixing the nuts and bolts, the software can go wrong too, and even more-so with laptops as they are often on the move and have wifi and often bluetooth on them too, leaving them more at risk to hacking, viruses and attacks than the hard wired desktop computer.
Operating system problems:
Its often the case that the very engine that runs your entire computer (The operating system) is the very cause of most problems, and viruses can easily do terrible damage to operating systems, or badly written applications that do not install or un-install properly can also mess things up.
Older operating systems such as Windows XP, Windows 2000 and older do need maintenance and reparing much more-so than newer operating systems, but also many applications people install these days can sometimes make fundamental changes to your operating system leaving other things not working properly, and a customer with no idea what has gone wrong.
So, if you have a virus on your computer, switch the computer off and call us, if your operating system is generally very slow and/or is problematic then give us a call!
Application problems:
As mentioned, some applications can make system wide changes to your computer's software, or maybe you clicked a pop-up one day and find that your suddenly having crazy internet pop-ups, or your computer seems to be running hotter than normal / much slower than normal, then give us a call and we can come over and get it all working perfectly again.
Sometimes applications can and do become corrupted, and you may find that even re-installing them doesnt work, so your computer may need the application to be thoroughly removed from places that most computer users dont even know exists. so give us a call and we can sort it out for you.
Viruses and Malicious applications:
If you have virus software installed and you know for sure you have a virus on your computer that your antivirus software doesnt seem to be removing, switch off the computer immediately and give us a call, DO NOT leave the computer running, and DO NOT leave it connected to the internet at all as this will potentially allow the virus to get worse.
