If you’re a Fixed IT customer, it should be. In case you haven’t heard, on Thursday nights, the Dynamic Edge team is hard at work into the wee hours of the morning performing maintenance on your computer. We apply critical security patches, install software to make your computer run faster, manually scan for viruses, quarantine spyware, clean up temporary files, and defragment hard drives. We’re like the tooth fairy, but better. Because when your computer runs properly, you’ll make more than a nickel.
How can you help? Just leave your computer on for us, so we can make sure it is in tip top shape.
What can you expect? We will reboot your computer on Thursday, so save your work.(You should really be doing this every time leave your machine). It also means that you can anticipate having to log in when you arrive at the office on Friday.
What if you miss the maintenance window? Your computer turns into a pumpkin. Kidding. But, you might encounter problems if you don’t perform a manual back-up. If you have an hour or so, simply right click on the DE Fixed IT icon in the bottom right hand corner of your screen (down by the clock). Then, choose a Back-up option. If you only have an hour, select the “quick backup” option. If you are going to be away from your computer for a few hours, use the “full backup” option.
Rather have maintenance on a different night? No problem, just let us know!
