“No protection is complete unless you also have someone you can talk to.”

Call-A-Geek has been cleaning up computers in the Quinte area for about 20 years .

It gives us great satisfaction to know we can make someone’s life easier by doing the things which are everyday and simple for us, but fast changing and complicated for you. When we do a clean-up on your computer, we know that when we leave it is as safe as it can be, and is running as fast as it can be.

And then a new day dawns.

You are constantly bombarded with attacks. Whether through exploits of bugs in software like Windows and Java, compromised emails and websites or “social engineering” (fancy term for tricking you into letting the malware in), the war for your eyeballs and money is relentless.

You might have a good, up-to-date antivirus program, but even that is not enough. No antivirus program is perfect and unfortunately, a large number of infections are due to the computer user allowing the virus in.

Take the worry out of your online life. Let the people you already trust worry about your online safety and your computer’s performance.

(Know what one of the best things about keeping a computer in tip-top security shape? It makes them run faster too!)

Due to the explosion of cloud based technologies and services, and increases in Internet speeds, we have been able to put together a reasonably priced package for homes and small businesses which does just that.

We take care of everything

• Constant monitoring and patching of your computer (e.g. Windows Update, Java, Adobe etc). That means you never have to wonder if you should say yes to that little update reminder in the bottom right of your computer. We will do the wondering for you.
• Antivirus provision and monitoring. No need to buy or renew an antivirus program again. It’s included.
• Remote tune-ups to keep you fast, fast, fast!
• Easy remote access.
• Optional on-site visits (extra cost).
• Priority response times.

What else can you do remotely?

• Respond to questions via phone, email or text. “Quick Questions”* are FREE.
• Connect to your computer to show you how to do something (extra charges may apply)
• Fix a problem you are having
• We will provide help with any devices we have knowledge about: e.g. computers, laptops, tablets, routers, printers, web-cams, head-sets, smart phones, TVs, home theatre receivers or game consoles.
• We will provide help with any software we have knowledge about: e.g. Email, Skype, Facebook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint.

What proactive maintenance will you do?

On each covered computer in your home or business, we will:

• Constantly monitor your security status
• Perform required patches and updates as they are made available
• Perform remote Tune-Ups
• Optionally set up drive imaging backups. (External hard disk drive required and not included.)

Will you still come to my home or office?

• Absolutely! We just charge our normal hourly rate for on-site
• But you also get front-of-line priority when booking

What things can you help me with remotely?

Some examples are:

• I can’t get connected to the internet
• I’m not getting any emails
• Do I have a virus?
• My computer is slow. Can you speed it up?
• I just got a call from someone saying they are from Microsoft and they noticed I have errors. Should I trust them?
• I screwed up an important spreadsheet. Can you get me the version I had last week?
• I accidentally rolled my accounting software to a new year. Can you reverse it?
• I’m out of the country and want to access a Word document on my home computer. How can I do that?
• We are visiting friends and they want to see our vacation pictures but our laptop is at home. Is there a way?
