System Backup & Restore

As mentioned, if a system is badly infected with a virus or severely outdated & with numerous issues, usually it is more beneficial for a complete backup and restore process. Over the years ComputeRx has worked to perfect this process and the end result is a nice clean, up to date system (and usually faster then when bought new) & without losing any critical data and settings. All backed up data is also scanned to make sure viruses do not get put back on the system. What is backed up and restored includes:

• Pictures, Documents, Music, Videos
• Favorites, Bookmarks, Wireless settings
• Outlook, Thunderbird, AOL email & settings
• Major Applications: Office, Quickbooks,Quicken, Itunes
• Windows, Mac OS X, Mac OS, with latest cumulative / feature /security updates, antivirus, up-to-date web applications

Once the system is restored it is still crucially important to keep your system up to date with Windows / Mac OS, Antivirus (tied to keeping your operating system up to date unless using a third party program), & your web browsers. Java Runtime should only be installed if needed. If you see that one of those in particular needs updates (usually by a pop-up by the system time), don’t ignore them, these updates are usually security reason based. The rest includes scanning any downloads BEFORE opening them and being very careful with clicking through links from emails and social networking sites.
