Frequently Asked Questions

Should I Replace My Computer?

It is our opinion that a computer should be upgraded as you go along. A good computer should last 8 or 9 years from the date of purchase, and serviced yearly.

Why do I get viruses when I have antivirus software?

Antivirus software is a program to help protect a system from known viruses but will always be only as good as the latest update. When a new virus is created most antivirus companies don't know about the virus right away. Once they become aware of the virus they can update the definitions so they can protect the computers they cover. Free antivirus usually only scans a limited amount of files on the computer and will use older definitions. This is one of the reasons we promote our managed Antivirus. Not only will it let you know if your system has a virus but it will let us know as well.

Will a tablet be as good as my computer?

Tablets are able to do several things and for some it can be enough. I find it to be far to limited as a computer replacement at this time. Most tablets are designed to be usable only for a few years and then need to be replaced. They have limited storage ability which means that data will have to be stored in the Cloud. Most tablets can not be upgraded. They are what they are.
