Antivirus and PC Tune-up – a computer’s best friends


For the less frequent or home users of computer, the online troubleshooting and support service for computers is the best way to get their computer quickly fixed. These services can be accessed remotely for any kind of repair, maintenance and updates for your computer. These services can be accessed in three main ways:

  • Via email
  • Over the phone
  • On chat

If you have to explain your problem in detail right from the point it started, and other issues that arose afterwards, you can write all the details in the email or chat with an executive of the computer support service. But this is only possible if the issue is related to any software so that your computer is able to function. If it is a hardware issue or a major software issue such that you are not able to run your computer, you can contact them over the phone. They will arrange a technician visit to your home giving you all the details about when to expect him to reach you.

These computer support technicians are experts in their work and also have an option to access your computer remotely to diagnose the issue. If it is a small issue, it can be resolved there and then but if some hardware changes are required, they will have to visit you personally. Such a high level of support service leaves you with no stress about an issue related to your computer. You don’t have to take out time from your busy schedule to take your computer to the repair shop.

The two most commonly occurring problems that most of the computer users come across are virus attacks and computer working slow. When a computer is connected to internet, it becomes vulnerable to get online viruses and malware. If the antivirus you are using is not strong enough or updated, lots of viruses get a good opportunity to get into your system. From disabling software to crashing down the operating system, a virus can result in any kind of disasters. You may lose your valuable data due to a virus or a Trojan. Another common issue is your machine running slow which can have several reasons. 

Whenever you perform a task on your computer or connect it to the internet and download a file, there are several temporary files that get stored into the memory of your system. These keep on accumulating in the memory until they are deleted. But due to their different format, it is difficult to locate them and identify which one of them is of no use and can be deleted. 

For this purpose, there is special software called the PC Tune-up software. This software can easily determine the redundant files stored in the system memory and get them deleted to empty the occupied space. This will speed up your system again and it will start working at its normal speed. Some of the functions the PC Tune-up software performs are:

  • Uninstall software that are of no use
  • Hard drive de-fragmentation
  • Updating antivirus
  • Installing security software
  • Deleting cookies and temporary files that are of no use
