Here is what a typical security checkup includes. I can perform this checkup either onsite or remotely. I’ll run Ccleaner first and then one of the security programs you have on your computer to make sure your computer is safe. Ccleaner is used to clear out copies of websites stored on your computer as well as cookies. The main two security programs that I use are Bitdefender and Malwarebytes. What I use on my computer is the same that I recommend for your computer. Both Bitdefender and Malwarebytes usually rank in the top 5 of security programs. Both programs overlap in what they are best used for: Bitdefender for viruses and some spyware and Malwarebytes for spyware and some viruses. Together they make a great package.
I recommend that you renew your security programs if needed at this time. I purchase BitDefender and Malwarebytes licenses through a wholesaler so I can offer them to you at a discount. From me they are usually $35-$40 each.
After Licenses are renewed , it’s time to backup the computer This is done using an external drive and a program like Backupper or Acronis True Image. A backup like this one provides some security especially if your computer is hacked or the internal hard drive fails. It won’t protect you if your home has a fire or the computer area is flooded. An offsite solution is recommended for that Once the backup is complete, we can do a windows update which may install much needed patches that your computer needs. A typical visit remotely or in person costs about $125-150 depending on the time it takes. Call me at 215-696-5574 and leave me a message. All calls are returned the the end of the day!
