23 Years, Thousands of Fixes

 

In 2002, computers were just starting to become everyday tools in homes and small businesses. Over the past 23 years, PCRescue has repaired thousands of machines, solved countless issues, and helped families and businesses get back to work (and play).

 

While every client’s situation is unique, certain problems come up again and again. Here are the top five issues we’ve solved—and still solve today.


1. Virus & Spyware Infections

 

From the early days of DOS viruses and malicious macros to modern ransomware and scareware, malware has always been a top reason people call us. The tools have changed, but cleaning and securing systems has been one of our specialties since the very beginning.


2. Password Problems & Security Issues

 

Locked out of your computer? Forgotten an important password? We’ve helped clients recover access, reset credentials, and improve their overall security—sometimes rescuing entire businesses in the process.


3. Slow Computers

 

Few things are more frustrating than a sluggish computer. Over the years, we’ve learned to quickly identify whether the culprit is too many startup programs, outdated hardware, malware, or even a dying hard drive.


4. Printer & Network Troubles

 

From Wi-Fi that keeps dropping to printers that refuse to print right before a deadline, network and device issues remain everyday headaches. We’ve solved more of these than we can count—both in homes and in offices.


5. Data Recovery & Backup Help

 

When files disappear, panic sets in. We’ve recovered precious family photos, vital business documents, and irreplaceable data. And we’ve also helped clients set up reliable backup systems so it never happens again.


Why Experience Matters

 

These problems sound familiar because they are universal. But experience makes the difference. With 23 years of hands-on work, PCRescue knows the right fix the first time—without the trial and error.

Whether you’re facing one of these common issues or something completely new, PCRescue is here to help.
