Home Networking
If you have two or more PCs in your home, have you considered networking them? A network allows your computers to share files, a printer, and an internet connection. Even better, a wireless network is the cutting-edge way to connect all of the computers in your home. Wireless networks are perfect for people who want to connect laptop and desktop computers, or for people who don't like to be tied down. When you go wireless, you won't have the inconvenience of tripping over unsightly cables.

Firewalls and Internet Security
How secure is your computer? Have you downloaded the latest patches and updates for Windows? As Internet usage has grown, so have security threats. One way to protect yourself is to install a firewall, which keeps intruders from sneaking into your computer and accessing your private data. Firewalls also can alert you when spyware programs attempt to transmit your sensitive information over the internet. In particular, firewalls are crucial if you have the always-on internet connection of DSL or cable. Protect yourself and your family... with help from Uwharrie Technology.

Preventative Maintenance
You wouldn't drive a car for years without changing the oil, so why ignore your computer? Like any investment, your computer needs constant care... which means keeping it dust-free. When was the last time your PC had a thorough cleaning? If it's been more than 6 months, it's time to schedule a Preventative Maintenance visit.

Upgrades
Is your computer several years old? Is it slow to boot up? Are you running out of storage space? We can breathe new life into your PC by upgrading some of its key components. Even if your system is fairly new, you may need a few enhancements to accommodate your growing collection of digital photos, movies, files, or video games. Have questions about whether or not you should upgrade your hardware? Call us!

Data Backup and Recovery
How often do you backup your PC? If it were suddenly damaged or stolen, would you lose valuable data? We recommend installing an external hard drive, which allows you to save your files to another device. We also recommend using Carbonite, an off-site backup solution. Along with helping you to store your data safely, we also offer data recovery services that can try to recover lost files resulting from hardware malfunctions, software conflicts, or viruses.
