Computer Mechanics, Computer Repairs Perth Western Australia

Suburbs serviced

We’re actually located in East Perth, so the Perth CBD, South Perth, West Perth, Victoria Park, Subiaco and Osborne Park are all within a stone’s throw. Chances are good that we can repair your computer the same day you break it.

We do a daily run through the western suburbs, ie Wembley, Floreat, Nedlands, Claremont, Cottesloe and Mosman Park, all the way to Fremantle, cleaning up virus and spyware issues along the way – they’re usually same day repairs also.

We do carry computer parts in the vehicles but certain hardware issues like notebook power supplies and broken screens will need workshop attention. In this case we take the PC back to East Perth then return it. There is no call out fee when we return the computer.

We also have a route that includes the northern parts of Perth, it runs from Joondalup and Wanneroo, then Hillarys through to Greenwood and Karrinyup, across to Dianella and Mount Lawley.

If you live in a more remote suburb, like Kwinana, Rockingham, Mundaring, Armadale, Kalamunda (or anywhere in the hills for that matter) we are quite prepared to send someone out especially. The first half hour will cost around $130 alternately workshop inspection with no callout is $55. However, if your computer problem is very quickly fixed we will use the balance of the half hour to do useful maintenance, for instance, cleaning up your hard drive, helping you sort out your email or giving you some software training.

The washable keyboard

Coming to a store near you. The HP washable keyboard. Can see this being very useful in a laptop but keyboards for PCs are pretty cheap... Not in market yet but close.

Zero Day Firefox

The Register reports on a Zero Day Exploit for Firefox circulating in the wild. Translation: some programming code is available on the Net that allows people to hide software on a web site that infects your PC without you or Firefox knowing anything about it. MORE>>

Bluescreen?

Got a bluescreen problem? If your PC is running Windows XP and starts crashing with the ol' big blue screen with nuthin' on it - time to check it for rootkits. Microsoft confirms that unexpected re-booting may result from the Aulureon Rootkit. Get thee to a Computer Mechanic promptly or call 9325 1196 to arrange a visit. More info.

Microsoft Team

And Facebook Team. Both spam email messages have links which carry  a trojan virus payload. The Microsoft one warns you about the Conficker Virus. Though it actually delivers the Bredolab trojan virus. Obviously some administrative error...  Source.

Profile will be locked

Spam email advises: "Your profile will be locked in response to a complaint received by the Administration". The email offers a link by which you can refute the complaint. And compromise your computer security.

Laptop cooler

The reason the industry stopped calling their products laptops was the realisation that putting the things on your laps was potentially harmful. Belkin have just launched a laptop cooler - no, not just a cushion - it has a fan in it. Also it has an 'AirFlow Wing'. Buzzwords aside, it's probably a sensible thing if you actually use one on your lap.

Win 7 laptop batteries

Windows 7 has battery performance monitoring software that has been alarming laptop users who thought the messages about their batteries being flat/dying were a bug. Not the case, says Microsoft. If you get the warning message MS says your battery is indeed a dud and the software is working fine. Source.

Google Buzz

Well that didn't take long. A privacy concern about Google Buzz, which allows people to see who you chat/email the most. Frankly, we don't regard that as the Da Vinci code but some people get excited about that sort of thing.

New box: good reasons

Increasing evidence that newer Windows machines - those running 64 bit processors - are more secure than older systems. Far less rootkit intrusions on the newer hardware.

Designer netbook

The Seashell - the ASUS EeePC 1008P - reviewed here by engadget. It's cheap and it looks really pretty but "like the HP Envy and Dell Adamo it suffers from performance issues at the expense of better design". For battery life and performance reasons, engadget prefer the EeePC 1201N.

Sharing iPhone photos

If you're uploading photos, iPhone photos in particular, be aware that information about where you were when you took that photo may be discoverable. This applies especially if you are uploading photos to a Twitter service like Twitpic. In some cases, GPS information (including which direction the phone was facing) may be encoded in the photo itself. More info here.

Insecure passwords

You know already that 12345 is not a secure password, right? Neither is any normal dictionary word or name because the crooks have software that tries all those. When RockYou.com got hacked, it allowed researchers to look at thousands of insecure passwords. ZDNet write about what an insecure password looks like...

IE6 defunct

Google has declared it will no longer support Internet Explorer 6 and Microsoft has endorsed this, urging users to upgrade to the more secure IE8. In the words of one Microsoft exec: 'friends don't let friends use IE6'.
