This is just a list of current issues that may be of interest and services that FPC
can provide.

I Have a Virus!

The first question should be - how do you know? If it is as a result of the last anti-virus search by your anti-virus package then:

Make sure Windows and Microsoft Office (if installed) are up to date.
Make sure the anti-virus application is up to date.
Re-run the anti-virus application in Windows safe mode.
If this does not work, search the internet or even the anti-virus application providers web site for hints and tips (or even step by step instructions) on how to rid yourself of the virus.

If it is more a feeling than fact, then look at the next section.

If you do not really know but you do not have any security software installed or
have not run a sweep for a while, install the software and run urgently!

PC Performance issues

The 64 million dollar question! A common complaint from a user is that their PC is slow! But what is causing the slowness - there could be main reasons.

But the first point to bear in mind is that a PC over time gets slower as a natural consequence of use! For example, when first delivered and installed, I bet it was a great deal faster.

The performance issues may be hardware related (more RAM required, running out of disk space) or there may be other reasons (spyware, too many applications open and in use, too many applications automatically starting up, anti virus sweep just started!).

So there is no easy answer and any performance issue will require further analysis - see list of services in the next section.
