 CCS offers a compete array of computer services for your home and home office. These include:
IN HOME REPAIRS, THAT'S RIGHT WE COME TO YOU!
Home Networking Solutions
We offer networking services for home and business. Whether you need a simple network for your home to share printers and Internet access or a robust, fault-tolerant and secure setup for your business, we can help.
Today's small office / home office (SOHO) networking products are made so that anyone can plug one in and get a simple network up and running. Along with this ease of use comes a large gap in information security, particularly with wireless networking products, but for the average home user this does not pose a problem.
Making sure no one can access your data or use your shared Internet service without your knowledge or consent is your own responsibility. If someone uses your Internet services to perform illegal activities you may be held accountable. [top of page]

 System Tune-Up and Optimization
Let's face it - without periodic maintenance your computer becomes increasingly sluggish, disorganized, and cluttered. We'll optimize your system with hundreds of system tweaks and enhancements that will defragment your hard drive, accelerate your PC's performance, make Windows boot faster, and increase your Internet and download speeds by up to 300%. We'll also perform several critical system updates, maintenance tasks, and repairs that will correct hard drive problems, clean and optimize your system registry, find and fix stubborn system errors, and more.

Physical Cleaning
When was the last time you thoroughly cleaned your computer - inside and outside? If it has been awhile (or never!), then you need our physical cleaning service. Experts recommend that you clean your computer every 3-6 months. Removing dust, pet hair, and smoke buildup not only stops the spread of germs, but also keeps your computer functioning properly, and even extends the life of your computer by allowing it to properly cool itself. Let us come out and give your computer the ultimate cleaning; we'll remove the dust particles from inside your computer case, spray your keyboard and mouse with compressed air, and shine up your monitor. Your computer will look and run like new again! [top of page]
Spyware and Virus Removal
Kids and teens using your computers?
Although you may have anti-virus software installed on your computer children and teenagers are notorious for infecting systems. Most participate in P2P networks (peer-to-peer) which allow individuals to share software programs and files including music and video. Services like Morpheus, Kazaa, Ares and others allow files to be downloaded (usually illegally) and these files bypass Norton and McAfee. Many people believe that because they have a subscription to these services that the downloads are legal, THEY ARE NOT. Not only does your child's computer get infected, but it is entirely possible that all of the computers on your network will be infected.

Data Recovery and Related Services
Data Recovery - Losing your files can be devastating! Whether you've lost your data due to accidental deletion, damage caused by a power surge, corruption brought on by a virus or worm, the "formatting" or "fdisking" of your hard drive, or even an entire system crash, we can get your valuable data back. The types of data we can help you recover include email, personal documents, videos, pictures, MP3s, and more. We can also recover data from CD and DVD media, digital cameras, MP3 players, memory cards, and other portable devices.
Secure Data Deletion - Don't get caught giving away your personal data! If you are selling, donating, or otherwise getting rid of your old computer (or even just upgrading the hard drive), you must ensure that all your sensitive data is securely erased. Deleting files, or even formatting the entire hard drive, does NOT actually remove the data from your drive. All your old email, personal letters, pictures, tax returns, passwords, health documents, financial records and more still exist on the drive. With a little know-how these files are easily recoverable, which can lead to identity theft. With our secure data deletion service we can wipe your entire hard drive, or even just a few files or folders, so that the data is completely destroyed and 100% gone with absolutely no possibility of it being recovered.
One-Time Data Backup - Do you have treasured pictures, emails from friends and family, important documents, etc. on your computer that you don't want to lose? If you have never performed a backup, you could lose it all at a moment's notice to fire, theft, hard disk failure, accidental file deletion, virus infection, and more. Protect your data with our data backup service that includes the transfer of all your important files to CD or DVD media, or an external hard drive.
Data Migration - Are you looking to transfer the data from your old computer to your new computer? With our data migration service we can help you do just that. Data backup not included [top of page]
 What is Spyware?
Any software that covertly gathers user information through the user's Internet connection without his or her knowledge, usually for advertising purposes. Spyware applications are typically bundled as a hidden component of freeware or shareware programs that can be downloaded from the Internet. Once installed, the spyware monitors user activity on the Internet and transmits that information in the background to someone else. Spyware can also gather information about e-mail addresses and even passwords and credit card numbers. Also called adware. [top of page]
What is a Virus?
Programming code that was designed to do something usually counterproductive and occasionally destructive, whether through ignorance or malice. A virus makes copies of itself without any conscious human intervention. Some viruses do more than simply replicate themselves; they might display messages, install other software or files, delete software of files, etc. A virus requires the presence of some other program to replicate itself. Typically viruses spread by attaching themselves to programs and files. For example, the file formats for Microsoft word processor and spreadsheet programs allow the inclusion of programs called "macros" which can in some cases be a breeding ground for viruses.
