Sick of waiting for your files to open? Does your computer freeze up all the time? Are you constantly rebooting?
These are all signs that your computer network is in desperate need of maintenance or possibly an upgrade.
What makes computer networks run slow?
- Spyware, Viruses, & Adware: This software, often known as malware, secretly installs itself on your computer and attacks your network from the inside out. Once the malware installs, it slows your computer down by constantly sending data to and from your network. This sophisticated software is designed to collect your information (personal data, web history, and sometimes anything you type) and sell it for a profit.
- Old Equipment: Believe it or not, computers have shelf lives of 3 to 4 years. Old computers are slower than new ones. However, you can extend the life expectancy of equipment by keeping it properly maintained. Which brings us to number 3…
- Poor Maintenance: Just like your car, your computer needs regular maintenance. When you’re driving your car and the oil light comes on, you’re supposed to get the oil changed. If the oil goes unchanged, the car will run worse and worse, until it eventually breaks down completely. Your computer is the same way—only the oil light can be a little tougher to spot.
Maintenance is the key to dependable and fast computer networks. For our Fixed IT customers, we perform maintenance continuously. Maintenance like; defragmenting hard drives, virus and malware scanning, malware prevention, end user restrictions, network optimization, security patching, and removing unnecessary programs and files.
If you haven’t been monitoring and maintaining your computer network, and things are starting to break down, it’s time for Fixed IT.
