PC Preventive Maintenance

By: Carl Valerio

Hello again everybody, thank you for taking the time to read our newsletters. You always let us know how valuable we are to you with the services we provide. Today, I would like to talk with all of you about the importance of PC Preventive Maintenance. Many people do not fully understand the importance of taking care and maintaining their computer. It is just like whatever car you own; you know you have to do some maintenance like changing the oil or rotating the tires. You must also treat your computer that way.
This correlates to the maintenance plans we provide to any of our clients. Everyone looks for their own trusted mechanic; someone that does not overcharge and gives honest service. We here at E-Geniuses take pride in knowing that through purchasing our PC Preventive Maintenance Plans, you have entrusted us as your mechanic. In turn, we will provide you with the best service possible to help keep your computer safe, well-maintained, and running efficiently. Computers have become such an important part of our day-to-day lives; we have to take care of them. We realize how complicated and time consuming maintaining a computer can be. Providing this service to our clients enables us to have that responsibility and give our clients piece of mind, knowing that we are keeping this computer from harm.
There are many advantages to having a scheduled maintenance on your computer. Our maintenance plans ensure your computer to be virus free, keep your data safe, and save you time and money. We have spent a good amount of time finding the right combination of anti-virus programs, anti-malware, and one click backups to ensure that your computer is ready for any issues that can arise. Computer updates are also very important and is also included in any maintenance plan you purchase from us. We only install necessary updates that are needed to help your computer run better. Our technicians set up a backup system to ensure your data is not lost just in case any hardware problems cause your computer to malfunction.
Most every part of your computer requires occasional attention. Using our services will guarantee that your computer has been given the proper attention it needs to be able to run as well as it should. E-Geniuses will also keep you up to date with your tech needs because we constantly do research on the best programs needed to help keep your computer safe. The payoff will be a healthy, reliable, and safe computer.

“Communicate Consistently and Form Partnerships with People You Admire.”

This is one of our most important Core Values when it comes to the way E-Geniuses conducts its business. We cannot stress enough how important communication has been in leading us to forming relationships with all of our clients. Our clients are the most important people we have. Through my own experience, I have noticed that because of good communication skills, we have the ability to fix a client’s problem and put a smile on their faces.

Whatever your method of communicating is the most important thing is to remain professional. Respect everyone, listen to their ideas and give them a chance to speak. Being a good listener and getting your thoughts and ideas across honestly and effectively is the best way to make you a good communicator. There is always room for improvement when it comes to communication skills. The more you practice by interacting with others, the better you will be. In addition, you will be better able to tell when you are getting your ideas across effectively, and how to improve if you are not. The better you are at communicating, the easier it will be to do your job. Your work with others will also make the workplace more enjoyable, and make you a more successful employee. The better the communication, the better the relationship will be.

We here at E-Geniuses know how important it is to reflect this core value to our clients. We want to give clients an opportunity to give us advice on what works and what does not work for them. We are very appreciative of the input given from our clients, and we welcome constructive criticism. We are always here for our clients and we will, to the best of our ability, give sound advice in making the best decision when it comes to fixing your computers. If we have not stressed it enough, thank you for helping us become a better company.

Dust build-up in a computer case can cause fans to work inefficiently and possibly seize up. This causes parts to fail prematurely.

We recommend cleaning your computer once every few months; more often if it is in a dusty environment.

We don’t recommend using air canisters because they have liquid that can be dangerous when used on high voltage electronics such as those inside of a computer’s power supply.

Joey and Tariq at E-Geniuses compare using Steven Gould’s CleanUp! to Piriform’s CCleaner.

Download CleanUp
Download CCleaner

We came to the conclusion that they are both good programs for cleaning up unecessary temporary files; CleanUp! being the simpler of the two, while CCleaner gives advanced users more options.

Malwarebytes is one of our favorite programs. We recommend it to all of our clients who don’t already have it.

After you have installed Malwarebytes, here are some of the typical settings we use:

• Change the update frequency to REAL TIME or HOURLY.
• Uncheck SHOW TOOLTIP BALLOONS so it doesn’t annoy you.
• Add a scheduled SCAN that scans with a FREQUENCY of DAILY.
• Choose a convenient time for the daily scans so it won’t interrupt you.
• Check WAKE COMPUTER FROM SLEEP so it can scan while YOU are asleep.
• Check PERFORM SCHEDULED TASK SILENTLY so the program doesn’t pop up while you’re “working”.
• Check REMOVE AND QUARANTINE THREATS AUTOMATICALLY. Why would you want to keep them around anyway?
