If the computer in your Mount Vernon home takes several minutes to start or freezes while you read email, it can usually be fixed. We find what is slowing it down, from crowded startup programs to an aging hard drive, and correct it.
We visit homes in Fort Hunt, Hollin Hills and Belle Haven and work through the computer with you so you know what changed. Most speed-ups are done in one visit.
Why Mount Vernon neighbors call us
Nothing Important Removed
We clear out junk and startup clutter while keeping the programs you use.
Storage Freed Up
We clear temporary files and old downloads so the drive has breathing room.

How We Speed It Up
Startup cleanup
We turn off programs that launch at startup and slow everything down, keeping the ones you need.
SSD upgrades
Replacing an old hard drive with an SSD is usually the biggest speed boost. We clone everything over.
Memory upgrades
More memory helps when you keep many apps and tabs open. We check your model and install the right RAM.
Adware and malware cleanup
Hidden adware and malware slow computers down. We scan for them and remove what we find.
Windows tuning
We adjust Windows settings, clear temporary files and fix issues that drag down performance.
Browser speed-up
We remove unneeded browser extensions and reset settings that make web pages load slowly.
Driver and app updates
Outdated drivers and software can slow a computer. We update them to current, stable versions.
Hardware health check
We finish with a health check of the drive, memory and temperatures so you know the computer is sound.
An older computer that still has years left
Plenty of Mount Vernon computers are six or seven years old and still sound. Swapping the hard drive for a solid-state drive is often the single biggest improvement. Startup can drop from several minutes to under a minute, and the computer you know keeps working.
