DoctorLaptop’s famous Annual Clean & TuneUp Service €60: For Windows & Mac. New “fileless” malware formats evade standard anti-virus programs, making it difficult for typical users to “dis-infect” computers themselves with free, consumer level tools. If you rely on your computer and want it running at peak performance an annual professional servicing with advanced professional grade tools is necessary. You wouldn’t drive your car till it runs out of oil before servicing it, would you? If you did, the engine replacement will cost far more than if you had properly maintained it with an oil change once or twice a year. It’s the same with computers, you should do a quick cleanup yourself once a month, and get an annual professional service. I do the most comprehensive cleaning and tune-up possible: verify all System files and permissions, replacing any found to be corrupt, test all hardware and do hard disk sector repairs if needed, use a 5 tool malware/adware/spyware removal protocol, clean out junk files/logs/history/etc., update Windows/Mac+all drivers+programs and finally optimize your settings and registry for fastest overall performance. Job usually completed overnight. Heavily infected comps or those showing error messages need a repair, not a maintenance service. Hard disks of 1000Gb or more add €10 and may require 2 days to complete.
ALSO: Computer repairs, websites/blogs/forums/SEO, business computer maintenance & security service. Free shopping service, send me your requirements, I’ll find you the best deals!
Windows, Apple/Mac, Linux and Android all serviced.
Contact: doctorlaptop AT protonmail DOT com or call 675 993 069 (no calls answered before 11am, missed calls returned asap). Please do not use the DigameXtra email for DoctorLaptop business. Always include the make, model, and version of Windows/Mac installed when emailing for support.

Recommendations & Requests
Pool service: Four years ago I had a PVC pool cover supplied and fitted by (I think his name was Sam) this was secured by an elasticated rope to screw type bolts. Over time this roping has stretched and in places is on the verge of breaking ( I have a sample of this rope) Towards the end of October I will need the rope replaced when the cover is fitted for the winter. If Sam or a competant pool company can contact and supply me with a quoatation for this work I would be grateful.

Tony Roam Removals: Highly recommended.
We would like to thank Tony Roam Removals for the excellent job they did in transporting our possessions from UK to Spain. Fabulous price too.
They don’t just leave it outside or at the bottom of your apartment block like many others. They bring it into your home and put it wherever you want it.
We would highly recommend Tony Roam. We cannot fault him.
Here s the link to his site: http://www.euroam.co.uk/
Thank you Tony. Take care. Geoff and Jackie, geoffjackie1 @ gmail.com
