Many times we take our computers for granted, not recognising how much we rely on them, until something goes wrong. Most people will book their car in for an annual service, but few will take care of their computer in the same way even though they use it just as much.
It is normal for a computers performance to reduce over time as it gets cluttered with data. Deleting unwanted files or buying a hard drive to store your data is one simple solution; Ideally, you should ensure that 20% of your drive is kept free to maintain optimum performance. Don’t forget to empty your recycle bin too and your Internet browsing history, to free up some space.
Christmas is just round the corner so if you are considering buying a computer or laptop as a gift we have put together this handy buyers guide.

Disaster averted! Keen IT goes above and beyond when it comes to its IT infrastructure provision & customer service!
“The other day we arrived at work to find out we had a major power cut and our electricity suppliers were advising we would be without power in two of our units for 6-8 hours! Our internet and phone lines are crucial for our business and it was imperative we got up and running as soon as possible. I knew the answer would be call to Phil Keen and a solution would be found – and I was right, it was! Phil and Adam arrived almost immediately and moved PC’s, phones and other equipment to our unit with power. Within an hour we were answering the phones and taking orders. Phil was even kind enough to lend us the use of his office to two of our customer support team were able to work remotely from his office! Thank you Phil and Team Keen IT!” Sara from Natural Instinct.

We recently heard about a phone scam doing the rounds in the local area. The caller claimed to be from Tech Health Line in London but seemed to be having a side conversation in another language. They would then ask you to bring up the event manager which would show system errors, leading you to believe that there is a virus on your computer.
This phone scamming technique is very similar to those used by scam emailers, who seek to obtain your personal information such as banking usernames, passwords and credit card details by pretending to be a trustworthy source. In the light of this latest scam, we thought it might be useful to remind our customers some of our top tips for recognising scam emails and protecting your data.
