Computer Tune-Up — Speed + Security Optimisation
Last Updated:
A computer tune-up is preventive maintenance — different from “fix it because it’s broken”. We do a comprehensive sweep: startup cleanup, malware scan, browser hardening, OS update, security audit, password manager setup, 2FA enrolment, backup verification. The before/after benchmark documents the improvement.
Most-common pattern: clients book a tune-up every 6-12 months. Computers slow down predictably from bloat accumulation; addressing it proactively avoids the major-issue path. Tune-up is also a good entry point for clients who think their computer is fine but want a security audit.
