Q: My computer is running slower than it was when we bought it. What could I do to speed it up?
A: Your computer was running faster before because you had more free space in the hard drive. You can fix this by deleting files you no long need, or by installing more RAM in your computer. Virus and Spyware problems can also slow down your system. Call us today about a maintenance tune-up or virus cleaning.
Q: How do I clean a virus??
A: Your computer is infected. Once the virus gets past your anti-virus protection it can be very difficult to remove. At this point you could bring it to Salem Computer Center.
