Proactive PC Maintenance & System Audits
Comprehensive workstation diagnostics, security audits, firmware updates, and patch management to prevent crashes and stop vulnerabilities before they impact your business.
Preventing Costly Downtime Before It Happens
Most business computer problems give warning signs long before a total system crash or data breach occurs. Outdated operating systems, unpatched firmware, hidden background malware, and failing hardware silently drag down productivity and expose your network to threats.
Mike’s Computer Tech delivers thorough, diagnostic-level workstation tune-ups and system audits. Rather than waiting for a machine to fail, we proactively inspect, update, and secure your systems to ensure peak performance and long-term hardware reliability.
Core Maintenance & Diagnostic Areas
Deep Security Audits & Threat Scans
Thorough scans for active viruses, malware, spyware, and rogue background processes. We deploy robust ransomware defenses and verify system security settings to keep your workstation protected against emerging threats.
OS Patching & Firmware Updates
Application of critical Windows security patches and system updates. We inspect and safely flash motherboard BIOS firmware and update your office router firmware to close known hardware vulnerabilities.
Hardware Health & Backup Audits
Physical and diagnostic checks on storage drives (SSD/HDD health), system thermals, and memory stability. We inspect active automated backup jobs to ensure your critical files are actively syncing without errors.
What Every Comprehensive PC Audit Includes
Our Hands-On Workstation Inspection Checklist
- Operating System Updates: Applying pending Windows patches and hotfixes while resolving stuck update loops.
- Malware & Spyware Removal: Deep scanning and eliminating tracking software, unwanted browser toolbars, and rogue startup items.
- Ransomware Defense Configuration: Implementing practical system-level protections to prevent unauthorized file encryption.
- BIOS & Device Firmware Maintenance: Safely upgrading system BIOS and driver firmware for improved hardware compatibility and stability.
- Network & Router Security: Verifying router administrative settings, updating router firmware, and closing exposed ports.
- Drive Health & File Integrity Checks: Running SMART diagnostics on solid-state drives and hard drives to catch failing media before data is lost.
- Backup Verification: Reviewing recent backup logs to confirm that automated cloud and local backups are executing properly.
