SupportSquad™ Offers Quick Spring Cleaning Tips for PC’s
Technical support service offers essential maintenance tips to help computers run efficiently and virus-free
Fort Lauderdale, Fla. – May 27, 2010 - SupportSquad™, a fast growing technical support company for a host of electronics, is helping consumers clean up their computers before summer kicks into full gear. While it is easy to put aside tasks during this time of year, performing necessary maintenance checks and updates to computers is essential for its longevity and to increase computer speed. Frequent checks will ensure troublesome viruses are minimized, keeping long-term maintenance costs low.
According to the 2010 Consumer Reports State of the Net survey, approximately nine percent of social network members in the past year encountered some form of abuse, including identity theft, malware infections or scams. These survey findings are featured in the June issue of Consumer Reports and on http://www.ConsumerReports.org. It is estimated these security breaches ultimately cost consumers $4.5 billion over the past two years and led to the replacement of 2.1 million computers. In contrast, by regularly performing maintenance checks, consumers can eliminate viruses and malware before they invade and cause harm to their personal computers.
“Technical support is no longer a do-it-yourself function,” said Benny Aboud, President of SupportSquad™. “There is a growing demand for this service as is evident by reports stating Americans spent billions last year on tech support.”
In April, SupportSquad™ 24/7 tech support introduced Ultrafast, an easy to use PC maintenance tool to enable consumers to keep their computers running at optimal speed. Since its launch, the demand for a self-directed method to routinely scan, debug and defrag the entire computer system, and ultimately make your computer faster, has been well received as well as the around-the-clock technical support.
To keep your computer running smoothly and efficiently, SupportSquad™ suggests following these maintenance check guidelines:
- Frequently check for software and program updates
- Perform weekly scans using a professional tool or anti-virus software to catch and fix unknown viruses, malware, spyware, failed software and/or faulty installations
- Scan, debug and defrag your entire system once a month
- Backup important documents, digital photos, music libraries at least every month
- Increase disk space, run a disk cleanup on a monthly basis to remove cookies and temporary files
- Check security settings to ensure optimal protection
Through routine maintenance, requiring minimal time to perform, you can extend the life of your computer and also make your computer faster. If additional assistance is needed, SupportSquad™ provides a variety of flexible technical support options. From 24/7 phone support to online forums, additional information and personalized assistance is available when needed. The Company’s monthly plans offer a universal protection program to over 80 software applications and 34,000 unique hardware devices for a one-stop shop service.
