Software Support

The large majority of computer problems are due to software rather than hardware problems. Purple Paperclips are software specialists experienced in troubleshooting a wide range of software related problems from hardware driver issues and Windows error messages and crashes to email and internet problems.

Hardware Support

From memory upgrades to hard drive replacement, Purple Paperclips offer a reliable, fast and competitive service.

Back Up

With computers playing a bigger and bigger part in our lives, most of us keep important and precious items on them, from music collection to albums of digital photo's to household or office correspondence and accounts. Backing up should be a regular part of your computing activity, but many people make infrequent, inadequate or no backups of their important files. Backing up your data needn't be time consuming or expensive; in fact, the best back up systems are a perfect balance of cost, time and performance.

Purple Paperclips are experienced in assessing the backup requirements of a home or office system in order to recommend a system of backing up that is most appropriate for you. Full installation and configuration, as well as routine servicing of backup sets is available.

Data Recovery

Data recovery from hard disk drives, USB flash drives and memory cards. Please note, if you have accidentally deleted a file from your computer you should contact us before using the computer as this will maximise the chances of successfull data recovery.

Having lost my entire catalogue of photographs covering a three year period, I was naturally distraught, especially as the vast majority were of my children! I had no idea they could be recovered and certainly no idea of how to go about it! Thankfully I now have them back thanks to Charlotte, who I cannot thank enough!

Virus Removal

PC's infected with viruses or spyware need to be dealt with quickly, the security threats isolated and the system thoroughly cleaned. Our overnight service sees us pick up your PC at the end of the working day and repair it overnight, before returning it for the start of the next business day, a service that is most popular with our business and home customers alike. In addition, as part of the 'clean', we will review your current security setup and advise you on ways you can make your PC more secure.

Email & Internet Security

Are you covered? Inadequate email and internet security can leave you vulnerable to a host of threats, which in turn can lead to data loss, loss of performance and system problems. Purple Paperclips can evaluate your current security setup and advise on areas that could be improved, ensuring that you are fully protected against the multitude of online security threats present today.
