Much like an automobile, your computer will become slower and start to have

you're fully protected from security threats and viruses. While we're at it,
we'll provide recommendations for how to make the most of the hardware and software
investments you've made.

Note: The PC Tune-Up is service only
and does not include any hardware or software.
PC Selection, Installation and Setup
The Comp Doc can help you determine the best type of PC to fit your needs and budget, and provide the best sources for acquiring it. The Comp Doc can even procure or build the system for you. When the system is ready, The Comp Doc can install and configure the PC, and connect it to your network and/or Internet access.
PCs are complex and when things go wrong they can become beasts. The Comp Doc experienced technicians are adept at quickly figuring out PC problems, and in many cases fixing them right on the spot. In cases where hardware has broken down, The Comp Doc can determine your best options for getting the system back up and running, and provide replacement parts. In the process of troubleshooting, it can also be opportune to upgrade at the same time, to improve performance, storage capacity or functionality.
Hardware Installations/Upgrades
Hardware installations can be intimidating even for people who are computer-savvy. Whether you're adding a scanner, a bigger disk drive, more RAM, or any number of other hardware upgrades (or replacements), The Comp Doc can help in a number of ways. We can provide the best recommendations for achieving your goals, the best brands and most cost-effective sources from which to obtain parts. The Comp Doc can also provide parts directly, and install them for you, while guaranteeing that things will work when it's all put back together. With The Comp Doc, you'll always get "plug and play" rather than "plug and pray"!
Software Installations/Upgrades
Unfortunately, just like with hardware, software installation can be perilous and is often tedious, such as when upgrading your computer operating system. The Comp Doc will make any software installation or upgrade painless for you by making sure things are set up right. Our technicians know where all the updated drivers are, and they know the things that software manufacturers don't tell you in the manuals, such as how different software packages and options effect each other, degrade performance, etc.
The Comp Doc is adept at building PCs that have specific performance objectives. Whether you need a killer game PC or a Home Theater PC (HTPC) that can provide better video output than most DVD players.
Virus Protection
What do all these hackers do for a living? Contrary to popular suspicions, they
don't work for the companies that
provide anti-virus software… In fact, The Comp Doc is very happy to provide
our customers with Norton virus
detection and removal software from Symantec, and help make sure your system
is secure from these common
threats. In the event that a virus is successful in scrambling your system,
The Comp Doc is there to help you recover,
and prevent future attacks.
The Comp Doc' Virus Protection services:
o Virus protection assessment
o Anti Virus software and updates
o Virus detection and removal
o Operating system and application configuration/settings
o Establishing "best practices" for avoiding exposure to viruses
Data Backups
Are your digital photos sitting on a single hard drive with no backup? Your
financial records? Even at home, there is
critical data you wouldn't want to lose when a hard drive fails or a virus (or
wayward child) deletes your files.
The Comp Doc can help you figure out a convenient and effective way to protect
your data by making redundant
copies of it either on other computers or on offline media such as CD-ROM or
DVD-ROM.
In many cases automated processes can be created that require very little attention
or maintenance.

Data Backup Solutions
In today's world, it takes more than an occasional file copy to floppy disk
to handle your backup needs. Floppy disks
just don't cut it for backing up your data. The Comp Doc can assess your backup
needs based on the types of files you
create, and put together a solution that fits.

Data Transfer
Sometimes you need to move data from one computer to another. In the case of
moving all your email data, web
favorites, application data, etc. it may not be clear (or easy) to recreate
the same data on the destination computer.
The Comp Doc can do this for you.

Data Recovery
If the unthinkable occurs, there may be a way out. In the case of hard drive
failure, for example, it is often possible to recover lost data using highly
technical tools. The Comp Doc can quickly help you determine what your options
are, and in many cases recover at least some of your data. Of course, if you
contact us now, we can help you to set up a robust data backup scheme, and you
most likely won't ever need this service!
