Spyware & virus removal |
These are the 3 causes of much frustration computer users are now
experiencing. Spyware, malware & adware severely interfere with internet
connections, your personal files, and general performance of your PC.
Spyware,
as the name suggests, is where software is planted (during an internet
connection) onto your PC, and spies on your operation of the PC.
Information, such as email addresses and unprotected files are easily
transferred from your PC or PCs back to the hacker responsible. You must
be adequately protected if you do not want to be victim to spyware.
Malware and Adware is similar, where malware causes misbehaviour and
havoc with you PC and various applications and programs you usually run
on your PC. Adware is largely responsible for advertising, nuisance
popups, and redirection of web pages to unfavourable or inappropriate
web sites.
You may already be so badly affected that rebuilding your PC is the only
answer. Contact Cast Iron if you are victim to these terrible 3 culprits
or strange behaviour on your computers and we will provide you with the
necessary services and solutions to rid you of further frustration and
problems. |

Internet installations -
Broadband (Cable, ADSL & Wireless) & Dial-up |

will outline for you which internet providers can supply you with
broadband internet, and which options are best and most cost effective

Software & hardware installations |
|
Cast Iron carries out most
common software and hardware installations. Often PCs need to be rebuilt
or reconfigured as a result of a failure. Internet security
installations, routers, network cabling, preparing new PCs before you
use them for the first time, are among the most popular software and
hardware installations Cast Iron performs. We can even purchase
new PCs, laptops or notebooks, printers and other equipment on your
behalf where preparation & installation usually follows.

information and assistance. |

Computer upgrades |
|
Upgrades refer to both operating system (eg. Windows 98, ME or 2000 to
Windows XP) and hardware upgrades. You may wish to boost your computer's memory capacity
(RAM) or hard disk drive space, or even improve graphics for movie &
music editing. Let us know what your
current computer state is, and we can provide suggestions and cost
estimates to improve your computer's performance. |

Networking PCs - wired or wireless |
If you have many PCs in your office or home that are not talking to one
another, do not share resources, such as printers, internet connection
and folders or directories, simple networking of your PCs, with or
without wires, can change all this.
Cast Iron can provide comprehensive advice, install cables, purchase
hardware & software necessary and devise a small and simple plan
outlining how it will all work for you. The end result is you will
likely make better use of your equipment as well as save time & money. |

Internet security - PC & network |
Are you having trouble with a slow PC?
Is your PC performance not what it used to be?
Do you experience other strange behaviour on your PC?
It is imperative that PCs have appropriate protection and security
against internet thieves & hackers. Anti-virus software is now no
longer enough. The new nuisance is spyware, adware & malware. You
otherwise run the risk of disclosing valuable information to strangers
on the internet!
If you have a number of PCs across a network, and you use wireless
technology, a passer-by may even be using your internet!
Cast Iron
Computing can provide all advice, software, hardware and
measures necessary to protect you, and will explain how it all works so
you can take control yourself. |
