- Home Networking
With so many homes now owning more than one PC, we are receiving
an increasing number of enquiries about home networking. Most often,
the need is to be able to share an internet connection between multiple
PCs, but the home network brings several other benefits. You can quickly
move or copy files between the PCs on your network for sharing or backup
purposes. You can also share other resources such as a printers, and
CD/DVD drives and, of course, the home network is ideal for game playing.
You don't even need to install cable these days, as the price of
wireless networking
hardware has fallen significantly and is now well within reach of the
home user. Wireless is the ideal solution for laptop owners
- imagine the freedom of surfing the internet from anywhere in your
home or garden, or maybe connecting to your printer in the study, all
without the hassle of trailing wires. We can advise you on the best
solution in your circumstances, supply and install the necessary hardware
and configure everything to operate together efficiently and securely.

- Wireless Security Despite all the publicity, a worrying number wireless networks installed in the UK still have no form of security or access control. If you have one of these then your neighbours, or anyone else within range, could be abusing your internet connection or even accessing files on your computer without your knowledge. All modern wireless hardware can be configured to provide a secure networking environment but it can be tricky to set up, which is why most equipment comes out of the box with all the security features turned off! A visit from PC Xperts will determine the best security setup for your particular installation, and make all the necessary configuration changes to your wireless network to protect it from unwanted access. back to top

Virus
and Spyware Removal Common signs of infection are: your computer is running slow; it frequently crashes; you are plagued by pop-ups; your home page keeps changing itself; you can't seem to reach certain websites any more. We continually update the tools we carry to enable us to clear even the most recently discovered and stubborn infections. Unfortunately, many viruses are now able to recognise and prevent the installation of anti-virus software. Specialist cleaning is then required to deal with the infection. If this sounds like your machine, then give PC Xperts a call. we carry all the
tools necessary to scan for and remove existing viruses and protect
against future re-infection. back to top
