I have over 25 years experience of computer repairs and tuition in Calderdale, Kirklees and Bradford. I charge up to 35 for solving your computer problem or giving tuition remotely. Many people prefer remote access because it's cheaper as you only pay for how long the job takes and I can fix your problem the same day rather than having to book a home visit appointment.

Serving for six years in the Royal Air Force in Air Traffic Control and working for five years in Sun Alliances' computer division gave me an excellent technical grounding in computers, support and training.
After setting up a company in the early 90's I wrote and sold management software to the entertainment world for the next ten years.
This gave me a great understanding of business and extended my knowledge of the computer industry.
After leaving that business in a very healthy state I turned my attention to the home market and that is what I have been doing ever since.

Don't tell anyone personal things about yourself - like where you live, your surname, phone number, email or the name of your school.
Instead of posting photos of yourself online, use a cartoon or a picture of your favourite band.
Remember that once something is online it can be copied and posted in other places where you can't get rid of it.
Respect other people's privacy and feelings - don't send info, photos or gossip about other people without asking them first.
Watch out for junk messages, links to dodgy sites and scams to get your money - ignore the links, don't reply and don't give out your details.

The Internet is central to so many things in our daily life that when it stops working it can be very frustrating and you will want it fixing fast.
Sometimes the Internet is working but there is a wireless problem and it's not always easy to understand what's going on.
Very often wireless does not always reach all the corners of the house that you want it to.
Either way I will diagnose the problem quickly and in most cases be able to fix the it within an hour.
Sometimes the problem can be a faulty telephone line in which case I will leave the service provider with all the information they need to test the line and repair the fault.

One of the biggest complaints I receive is about slow computers.
Most people have or know someone that is suffering from a slow down in speed.
This can be one of the most frustrating problems of using a computer.
Computers become slow over a period of time by using the Internet.
They can also slow down by having old programs that no longer work very well or software corruption.
Many people will just buy a new computer but this is usually not necessary.
Very often I can clean away a lot of unwanted software, spyware, malware and optimize the computer so that it will run much faster.

The reason viruses exist has changed.
A few years ago viruses were sent to infect our computers by bright but morally "challenged" individuals who liked to "do it because they could".
They fall into the same category as yobs who spray graffiti on walls.
Nowadays however it's very different.
Most modern day viruses are sent by organised criminals in order to extort whatever they can from us.
But don't panic!
As long as we take adequate precautions we can be safe to bank and buy online.
I actually feel safer buying from a recognised shop online than giving my credit card number over the phone or handing my card to someone in a restaurant who disappears with it.
