— Computing Made Easy —

Since 2007, Lauver Systems has provided computing support locally and globally with emphasis on reliability and safety built upon 13 years' prior IBM mainframe operations and systems development.

Whether you are a novice who just needs a little help or your computer has become an enigma, as long as it's still running, we can probably get you back on track*.

As complex, versatile tools for rapidly managing information, infrastructure and tactical applications, computers (mainframes, PCs, mobile and IoT devices, and more) can be highly convenient, informative, and entertaining.  For these benefits, they must be interconnected, and this allows them to be dangerous by theft and disruption.

Through obsolescence, unpatched vulnerabilities, and lack of active defenses, the little machine on your desk can be coopted by malware (malicious software) to expose your secrets or to join a botnet (robotic network) to attack other systems.

Due to the sheer multitude of computing devices in existence, our view is that their owners should regard the operational health and security of these devices with a sense of responsibility more akin to operating a motor vehicle than, say, a set of lawn darts.

* Our goal is to equip you and your computer to be self-sufficient.

Anti-virus software alone is no longer enough.

Tip: If a security vendor isn't in those reviewers' lists, ignore it.

Use only one vendor.  If you use a patchwork of defensive measures - AV, firewall, etc - use only one of each type.  Two or more may cause system instability and slowness and fail to protect due to collisions.

Next, spice up your browser with some of these defensive extensions for PCs or apps for mobiles - long-press each for details:

A good search engine and your computer maker's website can address many problems, and a working second device can be invaluable.  You can even converse with AI-enabled engines such as Copilot in the Edge browser.

The more you know, the less likely that your devices will succumb to malware, or you to scams –– some malware can conscript your device into a botnet for massive attacks or to further distribute malware.

If your style is pay-to-play, there's always Geek Squad or your local repair shop - the break-and-fix treadmill.  The best fail-safe is knowledge.

Free help by email and phone.

Free if you fix it - obviously.

$30/hour if we fix it - for work time, not siestas.

$15/hour for travel.

Payment by cash or check, in U.S. Dollars.

1	PCs running Windows 7, 8.x, and 10.  Typically, computers running Windows versions below 7 cost more to fix than to replace, and they're an unsecured invitation to malware and botnets.

2	We have no store-front or public parking.  Ignore lazy data-miners who say we do.
