Computer services, simplified

Virus Removal

Definition: A program that reproduces itself automatically from one device to another through the Internet, network, or a removable device such as a USB drive. Often times (but not always) a virus is malicious.

How Computer Outreach deals with PC Viruses: Using the latest virus detection and removal tools, we attempt to track the origin of the virus and remove it. We will then remove it from any other device it has spread to. Additionally, we will install and configure virus prevention tools.

Spyware removal

Definition: A piece of software that can change user settings and exploit open security flaws so that it can collect a user's personal information.

How Computer Outreach deals with spyware: We use the latest spyware detection and removal tools to find the spyware and thoroughly remove it. After the removal we will re-configure the user's system to assume default or higher security levels.

Data recovery

User data that has been lost (due to accidental deletion, reformatting, and/or hardware failure) can often be recovered.

Computer Outreach can recover lost data using special recovery software and other expert recovery techniques. In extreme scenarios where we can not recover your data, there will be no charge. In such a case, we will refer you to other data recovery experts whose special facilities and hardware may be able to recover your data.

OS Installs

Definition: OS, short for "operating system," is the system that your computer runs that allows you to interface with your computer's hardware in a user-friendly manner.

Computer Outreach's OS installation process: Most personal computers run some version of Microsoft Windows. We can install and configure Windows properly on your new machine, update the OS with the latest security patches and platform improvements, and give you a tutorial on how to best utilize the OS.

Computer Outreach can also install other operating systems such as Ubuntu Linux, Mac OS, and Other Linux variations, just to name a few.

Server configuration

Computer Outreach will install and configure servers for your home or business.

Our expertise ranges from servers for home use (such as Windows Home Server), to small office servers utilizing a computer connected to a WIndows Workgroup for simple file sharing, or more complex Windows Servers (2003, 2008) with domain controllers and network shares.

We can also configure Linux-based servers.

Data archiving & organization

Users often neglect backing up their work and/or personal data and when their hardware fails they have no means to recover the data themselves and must rely on expensive data recovery techniques.

Computer Outreach can prevent data loss by backing up data on an external device, setting up automatic data duplication such as RAID 1, or setting up a remote backup service to "The Cloud."

Also, Computer Outreach can help organize multimedia files such as images, videos, and audio files. Correctly organizing multimedia files will allow easy central access to files from the user's PC, over a network, and on mobile devices.

PC & laptop upgrades

Computer Outreach will analyze your current hardware and to determine the best upgrade path, if upgrading is actually necessary at all.

Often small hardware upgrades to the hard drive, memory, and processor can help extend the life and/or speed of the device. Computer Outreach will install these upgrades to maximize your computer's hardware potential

PC & laptop repairs

Computer Outreach offers PC and laptop repairs, such as replacing RAM, hard drives, screens, and much more.

So that you will not pay for an expensive, unnecessary repair, Computer Outreach will analyze your device and let you know if the total repair exceeds its value.

Custom PC & server builds

Computer Outreach can create a custom PC for users who want a specialized hardware configuration.

Custom hardware solutions can surpass "off the shelf" PCs in performance and quality, and we take special care to ensure that our builds are stable and fast.

Please note, we will only build custom PCs and servers that exceed a price point of $800.00. Otherwise, we recommend you look to other vendors, such as Dell or HP, for pre-built computers.
