Operating System Installation and Re-installation
An Operating System is a set of programs that manage computer’s hardware resources and provide common services for application software. It’s the most important type of system software in a computer. Examples of popular modern operating systems are Microsoft Windows, Linux and Mac OS X. During the time of usage of the Windows systems a lot of slack and orphaned files and registry entries collect. It is nearly impossible to remove all those by hand or with the help of cleanup software. Most of these leftovers just sit there wasting space; others might even influence application behavior, like dll's or drivers that haven't been correctly uninstalled after testing software. A fresh install gets rid of all that and gives you a "clean" system. Some of the reasons to reinstall your OS: - computer keeps crashing - programs keep getting errors - OS files have been corrupted beyond repair either by improperly uninstalling software, a computer virus or a corrupt software installation Installing or reinstalling operating systems can be challenging to say the least. It's easily the most complicated, and probably the most time consuming, software installation.
Virus/Spam removal
If you use a computer, read the newspaper, or watch the news, you will know about computer viruses or other malware. These are those malicious programs that once they infect your machine will start causing havoc on your computer. What many people do not know is that there are many different types of infections that are categorized in the general category of Malware. It can be a Adware, Backdoor, Dialer, Hijacker, Spyware, Trojan, Worm or a Virus. Malware can increase its chances of spreading to other computers by infecting files on a network file system or a file system that is accessed by another computer. It includes applications that spy on you, corrupt your data, destroy your hard drive or give control of your machine to someone thousands of miles away. Often a virus will cause a system to hang, and a subsequent hard reboot will render a system restore point from the same day corrupt. Some viruses disable System Restore and other important tools such as Task Manager and Command Prompt. You can expect to have a Malware when: - computer's running slow - programs not operating properly - Windows crashing with a blue screen - other people telling you that they are receiving emails from you in mass form - other networked computers are operating poorly in terms of performance At Groovy IT, we provide onsite and depot computer virus removal services on every type of laptop and desktop computers. We troubleshoot and fix some of the most difficult virus infections.
Data Backup & Disaster Recovery
A backup is the process of making copies of data which may be used to restore the original after a data loss event. Backups have two purposes. The primary purpose is to recover data after its loss, be it by data deletion or corruption. The secondary purpose of backups is to recover data from an earlier time, according to a user-defined data retention policy, typically configured within a backup application for how long copies of data are required. Data loss is a very common experience of computer users. About 67% of Internet users have suffered serious data loss. With that rate, preparation for continuation or recovery of systems (backup and data disaster recovery) needs to be taken very seriously. We can do a backups and data restoration (when needed) for you and help you run your computer systems smoothly.

Hardware Upgrades
The rule of thumb should be this: Upgrade when the cost of not upgrading exceeds the cost of upgrading. New hardware should help you work faster and more efficiently. Or maybe you need to upgrade your hardware to run new software applications that will improve productivity. Similar situations include a broken PC, one that crashes regularly, or one that keeps you from doing the work you need to do. Take a look, not only at your current computing needs, but also at what your future requirements might be. Will you need a full-featured database program in the future? Will you run memory-hogging graphics programs or other special applications? And will your new machine integrate with your current network? Hardware upgrade at this stage may just save you a lot of money down the road.
Diagnostics & Testing
Computers are easier to use and more dependable with each new generation of hardware and operating system update, but that doesn't mean they're problem-free.
