Living in the past?

Updating the software you use most often can be daunting as well as expensive. Sometimes you get to a point where you don't know whether you should click 'Next' or 'Cancel' - it can be so bewildering. After you find your way through the maze, another piece of essential software won't work because the application that you just updated has changed important files.

Your business depends on functional software. Sometimes it's easier to just leave it as it is because "if it ain't broke, don't fix it".

Grafixation can help you to upgrade all of your important programs at the same time. We research thoroughly to make sure that our recommendations are accurate, plus we can provide you with prices and options where appropriate.

Essential protection

We can recommend, install and configure important communications software such as virus and spyware protection and firewall, and configure them to your needs. We don't benefit directly by suggesting a particular piece of software - our aim will always be to provide you with a functional, suitable, secure Internet connection at the right price.

So, why worry? Your computer is fine at the moment.
Or is it?

As if it wasn't bad enough that we receive spam faster than it can be deleted, there's always someone trying to persuade you that following a link will give you the prize that you've won, or another leads you to your lottery winnings, or that your Bank urgently needs you to click this link because somebody might be using your details or has tried to log in to your account.

It's credible and there are times when you pause over the 'delete' button, wondering if you should take action.

It is amazing how easily malicious files can be acquired and how much financial and social damage they can do. Though computers that become infected seem to run normally, someone else could be using your PC or your broadband without your knowledge. And that "someone" is most likely to be doing something illegal.

Using standard anti-virus products is important; however, they are limited by the "Zero Day" concept (protection software updated as the threat is realised) and are only as effective as the most recent version. But you must have that update to be properly protected.

We can help you to stop worrying about threats like this by performing a "health check" on your computers and connectivity. We can recommend changes to your system which might be cheaper than you thought, and our "preventative medicine" could save you time and money as well as the possibility of lost data. We could suggest data back-up systems that can copy your important files to a secure medium while your system is not in use - if the worst comes to the worst and you have to re-install everything because of an infection, you'll be happy to know that your computer files have been safely saved.
