chiprivers Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 I regularly have my skills employed by my friends and family whenever they have any problems with their computers. It may be for general maintenance, resolve any issues or install new hardware or sotware.I am considering turning this into a little side earner and offering my services to the local community offering computer maintenance, IT guidance etc. Trying to plan out a few different packages and currently working on a general computer health check and maintenance package. I want to try and make this as comprehensive as possible and can think of many things myself, but wondering if you all would be happy to post here any regulare maintenance tasks you carry out on your own machines or things that you would suggest are carried out regularly.Many thanks. ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zane Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 well....generally speakingI'm sure before I do that I would ask what they want to have onbut really, if they needed a computer maintainerI doubt they'd be running a server or anything so the most I'd have to look for to not disable is stuff likevirus protection or AIM maybe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
