Emergency Virus Removal
A virus to a business can be potentially very dangerous. Viruses can affect your company PC’s and
network in a variety of ways, however the most common way is via e-mail or CD.DVD Roms and USB Keys brought
into the business from outside. Whether it be personal e-mail or an employee who has been working from home,
this is when you are most at risk. Home security is not always as effective or up to date as your company
security. Do you have a Company written I.T Policy? You should have, to protect the company and its
directors. top
Data Recovery
In some cases, there will be no option than to “wipe a machine” or a hard drive may have failed.
Data recovery can be extremely expensive especially if a company has previously tried to recover the data
using inferior data recovery techniques.
Business critical data recovery is best left to top tier data recovery specialists as they will have
access to recovery tools and forensic techniques that most local computer repairers would not invest in due
to cost.

Networks
There a number of different configurations for you to consider before finalising your business
