Let Us Set Up Your Recovery Software & Optimize Your Computer

If you’re a frequent computer user, you’ve probably experienced a software crash. When this happens, your screen might freeze or turn blue with an error message. Usually, there isn’t much you can do except restart your computer and hope everything is okay.

To help prevent this, Support.com can help set up something in Windows called “system restore.” Just like the name implies, it can help restore your computer to a time when you weren’t experiencing problems. We can do much more than that, too. We’ll help with the following:  

  • File recovery
  • System start-up problems
  • System memory problems
  • Clean viruses that could cause crashes
  • Security warnings
  • Suspicious pop-up windows
  • Improve security
  • Install Windows patches
  • Computer viruses
  • Malware removal
  • System restore
  • Install fixes
  • Past security alerts
  • Email security
  • Advanced laptop and desktop repair

What Is Software?

Your computer, whether it’s a desktop or laptop, is your hardware. This includes all of the physical parts of your computer (e.g., the CPU, the hard disk, the motherboard, etc.). Software is what you load into your computer to actually make it accomplish tasks. This can range from browsing the Internet, writing email or playing a game. All of this happens because of software giving detailed instructions to the hardware.

You could think of this as analogous to driving a car: Your vehicle is the hardware, while the thoughts in your brain provide the software. Without you giving input to your car, it just sits there. But when operating together, you can accomplish things such as getting from place to place.

Computers speak in numbers, and thus they are able to perform mathematical equations incredibly fast. To understand these instructions, computers receive their directions in the form of programming languages. Naturally, you personally don’t need to understand these languages yourself to use your computer anymore than you need to be an expert mechanic to drive your car. The GUI (Graphic User Interface) is there for this (it’s what you see on your screen).

To enjoy your software, however, you first need to load it into your computer and set it up. Sometimes, this isn’t that easy to do. Here’s where Support.com can help.

How Hard Drive Recovery Software Can Help

If you do install new software that you’ve downloaded, and later find that you’re having problems, having disk recovery software already installed can help return your computer to a time when it was working properly. For this to work though, you must install it before you have a problem. As a tip, consider doing this now. It may prevent headaches down the road.

Some software may alter your computer’s settings in a manner that you don’t like. And even worse, some free software available on the Internet may be posing as a “trojan”, meaning it appears to be one thing, but actually carries something far more dangerous inside (think: the Trojan Horse that was presented as a gift to Troy, but actually housed enemy troops inside).

If this happens to you, file recovery software can reset your computer to a time before you installed the malicious software.
