- Check RAM usage, Processor and Hard Disk usage (common cause of PC slowness)
Software Check
- Make sure that antivirus software is installed, working correctly and is up to date
- Perform virus scan (with at least 2 different products) on all storage drives

- Remove any unnecessary startup programs, browser toolbars, plug-ins and temporary files
- Make sure the latest security updates and the current service pack is installed
- Check fragmentation of all Hard Disks and de-fragment if necessary
* Some Laptops may not be cleaned internally within the healthcheck due to the complexity of dismantling the system. However, we will test if system vents are blocked and if disassembly is required advise. Parts are NOT included and will be quoted separately. If problems are detected during any healthcheck, you will be advised and if any work is necessary, additional repair fees will be charged along with the cost of any parts required.
