Sun Life Tech FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions About Sun Life Tech Computer Services

Getting
Started

WHY DO YOU HAVE TO TAKE MY COMPUTER TO FIX IT?

Sun Life Tech offers on-site and remote support services for routine repairs and check-ups. These services are charged on an hourly basis. However, more major services such as virus and malware removal, OS repairs, and hardware upgrades require more time and controlled procedures in controlled environments. This includes backing up and protecting your computer’s data. Most off-site repairs are performed at a flat rate cost, making the repairs more affordable for the customer and allowing us to perform a much more complete and thorough service.

HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO REPAIR MY COMPUTER?

Most repairs take 2-3 days to complete. However, there are some situations where repairs may take longer, such as when parts need to be ordered. Sun Life Tech strives to only use high-quality, often original equipment manufacturer (OEM) replacement parts. These parts are not always readily available, especially for older computers. As a result, it may take some time to source the proper replacement parts.

HOW MUCH WILL IT COST TO REPAIR MY COMPUTER?

It’s difficult to say exactly how much your computer repair will cost until we have a chance to fully evaluate the issues you’re having. During our free initial consultation, we’ll ask you about the problems you’re currently experiencing with your computer and what you expect to happen. We’ll then make an initial assessment of what needs to be done to get your computer back to full working order and present you with an estimate of the repair cost.

In rare cases, the final invoice may be slightly higher due to unforeseen issues that surface during repairs. However, Sun Life Tech will always contact you to authorize any additional charges before performing the additional work. Most repairs fall under our standard $129.00 flat rate service fee, plus any additional parts or services required.

WHY SHOULDN'T I JUST BUY A NEW COMPUTER?

The free initial consultation is an opportunity to discuss your computer needs and determine the best course of action. In some cases, upgrading to a new computer system may be the best option. Sun Life Tech can help you with the upgrade process, from selecting the right system to transferring your data. We’ll make sure that the upgrade process is as smooth and hassle-free as possible.

WILL I LOSE ANY OF MY DOCUMENTS, PICTURES OR OTHER DATA WHEN YOU REPAIR MY COMPUTER?

At Sun Life Tech, we understand that your data is your most important asset. That’s why we always begin every service with a complete backup of your system and data. This ensures that your data is safe and secure, even if something goes wrong during the repair process.

If there is a problem with the data on your system, we will notify you of the problem and discuss the options you have going forward. We may be able to recover your data, or we may recommend that you start fresh with a new system.

No matter what the situation, we will work with you to protect your data and get your system back up and running as quickly as possible.

Viruses

HOW DID MY COMPUTER GET A VIRUS?

Every day, over 150,000 new viruses and malware are released. These malicious programs can infect your computer through a variety of ways, including:

  • Downloading software from illegal download sites: These sites often contain malware that is disguised as legitimate software. When you download a file from an illegal download site, you could be unknowingly installing malware on your computer.
  • Vulnerabilities in your currently installed software: Software developers are constantly releasing security updates to patch vulnerabilities in their software. If you don’t keep your software up to date, you could be vulnerable to malware that exploits these vulnerabilities.
  • Clicking on malicious links in emails: Malicious links are often sent in emails that appear to be from legitimate sources. When you click on one of these links, you could be taken to a website that will infect your computer with malware.
  • Visiting a compromised website: Even legitimate websites can be compromised by malware. If you visit a compromised website, you could be infected with malware without even knowing it.
HOW CAN I PREVENT MY COMPUTER FROM GETTING INFECTED IN THE FUTURE?

To protect yourself from viruses and malware, it is important to:

  • Only download software from legitimate sources.
  • Keep your software up to date.
  • Be careful about clicking on links in emails.
  • Use a security software program to scan your computer for malware.

By following these tips, you can help to protect your computer from viruses and malware.

Here are some additional tips to help you protect your computer from viruses and malware:

  • Use a strong password for your computer and your email account.
  • Enable two-factor authentication for your email account.
  • Be careful about what information you share online.
  • Back up your data regularly.

By following these tips, you can help to keep your computer and your data safe from viruses and malware.

WHAT IS THE BEST ANTIVIRUS FOR MY COMPUTER, PREFERABLY FOR FREE?

We all like free things, but as the saying goes, “You get what you pay for.” While there is no 100% guarantee with any antivirus solution, the current state of virus and malware attacks on today’s computer systems means that Sun Life Tech no longer recommends any of the free antivirus products currently available. They simply do not offer the same quality of protection as paid products.

When you pay for your antivirus product, you get far better protection than what any of the free solutions offer. Sun Life Tech has created a comprehensive package of several products that, when combined with the other steps mentioned in an earlier question, we feel is the best protection solution for your computer system.

Here are some of the benefits of using a paid antivirus product:

  • More frequent updates: Paid antivirus products are updated more frequently than free products, which means that you are better protected against new viruses and malware.
  • Better detection rates: Paid antivirus products have better detection rates than free products, which means that they are more likely to find and remove viruses and malware from your computer.
  • More features: Paid antivirus products often have more features than free products, such as parental controls, firewall protection, and password manager.

If you are serious about protecting your computer from viruses and malware, then you should use a paid antivirus product. Sun Life Tech’s comprehensive package of several products is the best protection solution for your computer system.

Web Design

Is it possible to calculate the exact cost of website development?

The cost of website development can vary depending on a number of factors, including the complexity of the website, the features that are required, and the method that is used to develop the website.

If you are looking for a fully customizable website, then the cost will be higher. This is because the website will be tailored to your specific requirements. If you are willing to use a pre-made template, then the cost will be lower.

You can approach a website designer (freelancer) or contact a website development agency to develop your website. The cost will vary depending on the experience of the designer or agency. You can also try developing a website on your own using some well-performing website builders.

At Sun Life Tech, we come up with the pricing after a separate analysis has been conducted on the projects and after brainstorming we work towards achieving the desired results.

Here are some of the factors that can affect the cost of website development:

  • The features that are required: Some features, such as e-commerce or a content management system, can be more expensive to implement than others.

Does my site need to be updated to HTTPS instead of HTTP?

You shouldn’t compromise on this. It is essential to update your website to HTTPS instead of HTTP. HTTPS is considered to solve data protection issues by encrypting your data with an SSL certificate.

Websites that handle eCommerce, banking transactions, and user data should mandatorily be updated to HTTPS in order to protect user data from getting hacked. If your website is not configured with a valid SSL certificate, the browser will detect it as an error and display the message “connection is not secure,” as illustrated in the below screenshot.

Frequently Asked Questions 1

To establish your website with a secure connection, you need to implement the necessary security configurations. This includes obtaining a valid SSL certificate and configuring your website to use it.

Here are some of the benefits of using HTTPS:

  • Data protection: Your data will be encrypted with an SSL certificate, making it much more difficult for hackers to steal.
  • Improved security: HTTPS websites are considered to be more secure than HTTP websites, which can help to improve your website’s reputation.
  • Increased trust: Visitors are more likely to trust a website that uses HTTPS, which can lead to increased sales and conversions.

If you are serious about protecting your website and your visitors’ data, then you should update your website to HTTPS. This is a simple and relatively inexpensive step that can make a big difference in the security of your website.

How long will it take to get to the 1st page of Google?

The time it takes for a website to appear on the first page of Google can vary depending on a number of factors, including the difficulty of the keywords used, the quality of the website’s content, and the amount of competition.

In general, it can take anywhere from 3 to 6 months for a website to appear on the first page of Google. However, there are some cases where it can take longer, or even shorter.

The difficulty of the keywords used is one of the most important factors that affects how long it takes for a website to appear on the first page of Google. If the keywords are very competitive, it will take longer for the website to rank.

The quality of the website’s content is also an important factor. A website with high-quality content that is relevant to the keywords used is more likely to rank well in search engines.

Finally, the amount of competition also plays a role. If there are a lot of other websites that are competing for the same keywords, it will be more difficult for a website to rank well.

As you mentioned, nowadays the competitors are quite high and almost every business are keen on establishing SEO optimized websites. This means that it is more difficult than ever for a website to rank well in search engines.

Business Support

How Much Does Outsourced IT cost?

The cost of outsourced IT can vary depending on a number of factors, including the size of your business, the level of support you need, and the provider you choose. However, in general, outsourced IT is more affordable than hiring an in-house IT team.

Here is a breakdown of some of the factors that can affect the cost of outsourced IT:

  • The size of your business: The larger your business, the more complex your IT needs will be, and the more you will likely pay for outsourced IT.
  • The level of support you need: If you need 24/7 support, you will likely pay more than if you only need support during business hours.
  • The provider you choose: The cost of outsourced IT can vary depending on the provider you choose. Some providers are more expensive than others, but they may offer a higher level of service.

Here are some of the benefits of our pricing model:

  • Simple and predictable pricing: Our pricing is based on the number of users being helped, which makes it easy to understand and budget for.
  • Customized support: We can customize our support to meet the needs of different user types.
