Viruses, spyware, adware and other malware are an unfortunate fact of our computing lives. These malicious programs can destroy important data, slow your PC's connection to the Internet, send your private information to potential identity thieves, or simply cause annoying pop-up ads. If you suspect your computer may be infected with malicious software, let Help Computr save it from an uncertain fate. I can scan your PC with trustworthy applications made for seeking out bad software and eradicating it completely. I can then help you ensure it doesn't happen again by installing essential security software to safeguard your PC.

Whether you're having trouble setting up a home network or you want to make sure your wireless signal isn't being used by uninvited guests, Help Computr can help. With a home network you can share files, printers and even a broadband Internet connection among two or more computers. Save the hassle for me--let Help Computr do the work.

Wireless technology is a modern miracle, if you stop to think about it. One thing not everyone who enjoys this technology considers is security. With the greater freedom wi-fi affords comes a greater risk. What's to stop your neighbor (or any passerby, for that matter) from intruding on your wireless network and compromising your private information? Do you have a firewall installed? Are you using the latest in wireless encryption? Cut out the guesswork and contact Help Computr. I can help make your network as secure as possible to keep your data safe and put your mind at ease.

You may be surprised to find out that your four year-old computer still has plenty of life left. While no amount of system optimization can make your PC last forever, there are almost always a few ways to boost performance by way of upgrading your hardware. Installing more RAM, for example, is a very cost-effective way to speed up your aging PC. Adding a second hard drive is another affordable option; by doing so you can increase your computer's storage capacity to allow for more photos, MP3s, and other personal data. See what Help Computr can do to prolong your computer's life.

Having trouble figuring out how to get those digital photos from your camera to your computer? Need help ripping music to your iTunes library or burning CDs and DVDs? Or maybe you need help recovering your music from your iPod after a hard drive crash. Did you know you can stream your music wirelessly to anywhere in your house? Help Computr can assist you with all of these tasks and more.

I can help you with your computer without visiting your home. Maybe you need help with learning how to use Microsoft Office or some other application. Using freely available utilities, I can remotely connect to your computer and share your screen to show you how to use almost any application. Contact me to find out more.

Planning to upgrade to a new PC? Want to purchase a digital camera but don't know where to start?
