Q: How can I avoid getting viruses and spyware on my computer?
A: First, put excellent virus/spyware protection on your computer! We have access to all forms of antivirus protection, but the only one we recommend to our clients is the same one that we use to protect the computers in our store and in our own homes. We also
recommend Carbonite Cloud Backup to protect against loss of your data in the event of a virus attack or hard drive failure.
Q: Should I repair my computer or replace it?
A: Just because your computer is an older model (five years or older), there is no need to replace it, if it still does what you need it to do! Unless a major component needs to be replaced - such as the computer's mainboard - it is almost always less expensive to repair

Q: Should I upgrade to Windows 10?
A: If you are running Windows 7, we consider it a good idea to keep it for now. If you have Windows 8 or 8.1 and like it, fine; if you don't, Windows 10 might be a better choice for you. If you have any operating system that is older - such as XP or Vista - then we recommend upgrading to Windows 7 or perhaps Windows 10. We can help you with any of these choices!
