Sorry But Antivirus Software is Simply Not Enough

I once had a guy say to me, “I don’t think I have spyware. My computer’s not acting any different.”

I replied, “It would be pretty bad spyware if your computer did act different.”

I see my in office computer clients every four to six months. I …

Remove spyware before it steals your or your clienteles’ information

I’ll see something or hear something that may mean nothing to you, yet may be an important symptom of an issue which would cause your computer to crash to me.

I’ll see something which may indicate to me you have spyware in your computer. Most spyware bypasses your antivirus software disguised as normal programs nowadays.

Many of my mobile support clients tell me it’s like HAVING A BRAND NEW COMPUTER after a professional cleaning!

Sometimes the computer is twice as fast as it was before cleaning it. No, there isn’t one single piece of software to do this for you regardless of what the international companies with multimillion dollar advertising budgets try to convince you of their single product solution. It’s the right combination of various applications combined with experienced, professional eyes.

I’ve gained the respect of my peers for my tenacity in removing items which slow down my clients’ computers and removing viruses and spyware before they become issues.

Backups and Syncing

I’ll help you setup automatic backups to the cloud or your external backup devices. Syncing between team members, computers and mobile phones is a MUST nowadays. A paper calendar simply will not suffice in the 21st century business market.

Getting the Most from Your Mobile Phone

Scan business cards instead of inputting all that information by hand

Keep your schedule updated. You’re setting up at least some appointments off site. You need to see the up to date company calendar. Even if it’s just you and your spouse running your Oahu based business, mistakes can be made without an up to date calendar costing you money and giving you negative word of mouth advertising.

Save time and just put it in your phone once. Like any computer you should only have to type something in once. I know which apps to use to make your mobile life simple.

“I left that file at the office!”, is something you should never have to say with the right syncing system for your mobile phone.

I Know The Right Free Services and Software

I’m very frugal. Having been in computers since 1993 (no the gray hair is not from being married), I know what free services and software are as good as or sometimes better than paid services and software. Just as importantly, I know what not to buy and what not to download for free.

For example, did you know OneDrive, Microsoft’s free and paid cloud storage has free Microsoft applications which look and work almost exactly like the computer based Office 365 version?

Did you know OpenOffice is the most popular free Microsoft compatible office suite?

Did you know Google Drive, Google’s free cloud storage has online applications which can import and export Microsoft Office files?

This is why having me, Rick Kirkham, as your primary computer consultant and repair expert will save you hundreds or even thousands of dollars!

“How Much Do You Charge Rick?”

There’s an old saying. “Pay cheap, pay twice.” I charge $95.00 per hour for check or credit card or $75.00 per hour cash or prepaid. Being one of the best puts me in high demand. Don’t delay in securing your appointment time so I can help you with your computer or device challenge.

What Type of Computer to Get for Your Business

As an onsite computer repair specialist, setup expert and device trainer here in Honolulu Hawaii covering all of Oahu I see a lot of different styles of computers, tablets and cell phones. Here are my recommendations based on my own experiences out in the field.

What General Requirements You Need for Your Business in a Computer

Upgrade ability
Efficiency 
Flexibility
Repair ability
Cost effectiveness



Notice first I placed cost effectiveness last. If you have employees making extra clicks because you didn’t have someone like me optimize your computers for use or employees having to waiting for programs and web pages to load while being paid by the hour, a low cost, but inefficient computer will cost you a lot more money in wages and time then you spent on the cheap computer.

Upgrade Ability

Requirements for software and now online processing and applications change over time. Processing speed becomes a factor but even more important is RAM. RAM stands for Random Access Memory. It’s the memory used to run both the operating system of your computer, whether it’s Windows 10, Apple or Ubuntu, as well as programs and applications both online and offline. Having your videos buffer while you’re trying to watch them for example is a symptom of not having enough RAM in your computer.

Efficiency

Efficiency covers a wide range 

Proper setup
Removal of bloatware
Keeping unnecessary programs from loading automatically using RAM
Proper screen size for comfort
Number of clicks to do your work
Space requirements

Flexibility

Flexibility and upgrade ability are related. The ability to install a more powerful video card as your computer processing needs change is one important example of flexibility.

Repair Ability

Did you know some of Microsoft’s new devices, according to the Microsoft representative I spoke to at a Chamber of Commerce event, CANNOT be repaired. He specifically told me I could not even take the screen off (a pain in the okole by the way) to repair the computer. The computer was built for disposal and to buy a new one. I think the one I looked at cost $800.00 NOT my idea of a disposable price. 

Stay away from expensive tablets or combination tablet and computer devices. Most of these require the computer repair technician to remove the screen. There’s usually a 50% chance the screen will crack. I always have my computer repair clients here on Oahu sign a waiver when I repair these tablets. A standard laptop is as small as I would go if you’re going to spend a lot of money on the device. It can be repaired, normally, by opening the back (no I’m not suggesting you do that).

Cost Effectiveness

You usually don’t have to buy some high end gaming computer to solve your business electronic device needs. If, however your software requires a minimum amount of RAM for example, get more than the minimum. Windows 10 for example minimum requirements include on two gigabytes of RAM for a 64 bit computer. The average person can fix dinner and clear his or her unanswered emails by the time the computer would finish loading. 

For basic individual use, not business use, I suggest four gb of RAM IF my in home computer setup client doesn’t watch streaming video or play online games. If this is the case my recommendation for RAM is the same as business computers. 

I’ve optimized multiple computers in offices with different hardware. Even when I’m done cleaning out temporary internet files which slow you down enough that I see my onsite computer clients every four to six months to maintain their computers, there is a HUGE difference between four gb of RAM and 8gb of RAM. I’m not discussing processing speed. When you buy a computer with a higher amount RAM a faster processor usually comes with it. Changing a computer’s processor is tricky and I don’t normally recommend it.

Tablets

I’ve spoken of tablets briefly and recommended staying away from tablet computer combinations. If you need the portability of a tablet and there is NO software to install, just get the cheapest tablet you can get in your hands. 

Make it Android operating system based. It’s the most popular and the best supported. Even containing Google Drive built in so you can sync files and photos from your tablet and other business devices. I bought an Android Tablet a few years ago for $49.00 and it still works. For me six to 8 inches is the right size. Easy to carry and I can turn it sideways to landscape mode if I want a wider view. 

I’d stay away from Amazon Fire. Even though it’s technically Android it has its own version and last I checked many apps were not compatible with the tablet.

To Summarize What a Business Generally Needs for an Efficient Computer

 

Standard Desktop Computer Stay away from anything fancy including all-in-ones 8gb RAM minimum 

Standard Laptop Stay away from the two mode style combination tablet laptops 8gb RAM minimum 

Cheap Standard Android Tablet Only if you need the portability. Get the cheapest one you can. Software problems are fixable but hardware is difficult. 


Follow these simple guidelines and you’ll have efficient, repairable computers for your business. Oahu call or text me, Rick Kirkham for computer optimization, setup, preventive maintenance and repairs. 808.224.1870

Two New Computer Viruses Windows and Apple #InHomeComputerHelpOahu

Two New Computer Viruses Windows and Apple #InHomeComputerHelpOahu



There’s a new virus that takes over your search engine. I’ve removed it from both Apple and Windows computers. From a Windows computer I removed Windows search which had installed itself on an in home computer client’s Windows Desktop.


If you’ve noticed any changes in your computer,


Home page
Search engine
Desktop theme
Slowing down of your computer
Or even more buffering of videos


It’s important to call or text me right away so I can stop a potential problem before it becomes a major problem.


Also, if I haven’t cleaned your computer in four to six months, call me right away. I’ve noted regular cleanings keep computers running fast. I can also stop problems before you even notice them. The common phrase I hear is “every seems ok”. That’s the idea of a computer virus or spyware. To be unseen. I remain one of the best on Oahu for this thanks to my God given and experienced based skills.


So if any the conditions above exist call or text me 224.1870
