Computer systems and networks require routine maintenance to keep running effectively. Maintenance functions include:

• Hardware cleaning and assessment
• Software cleaning (malware, unnecessary taskbar pre-loads)
• Data backups
• Troubleshooting

NorthEast Codeworks provides these services as needed, or on a scheduled basis, to keep your systems running and your data safe.

Cleaning the hardware insures your systems run at peak performance, while reducing heat buildup that shortens the life of the hardware. Software cleaning eliminates various pests and unwanted features that eat system resources for no benefit. Data backups are critical to insure that your information and data files are preserved in the event of a catastrophic hardware, software, or environmental event. Finally, NorthEast Codeworks is an experienced troubleshooter for hardware, software and network performance issues.

Call or email NorthEast Codeworks to keep your systems running at their potential.

NorthEast Codeworks' owner has extensive software development experience. Having held job titles such as Software Engineer and Systems Programmer, he has experience in a variety of programming languages, such as C, C++, and assembly language. Development projects have ranged from maintenance and enhancement of existing systems through development of entirely new programs, including the writing of device drivers and embedded software for instrumentation.

Whether you have projects under development that need more bodies, or have one or more small projects that would make your life easier but haven't found someone to build them, NorthEast Codeworks can help.

Give NorthEast Codeworks a call to assess what parts of your software development projects would benefit from this experience.

Spyware, adware (pop-up ads), viruses, trojans, keyloggers... all of these programs share a common feature - they are usually unwanted on anyone's computer system. Once you let one in, it tends to call up it's "friends," and soon your system is running slow, your work is constantly interrupted by pop-up ads, and your data is subject to theft or corruption.

NorthEast Codeworks has been successfully removing these pests from systems since 2002. As the authors of these irritating programs have become more sophisticated, it has become more important than ever to perform a comprehensive assessment of each system both before and after removal. We have not found any single product that can remove 100% of the problems 100% of the time. Invariably, some manual intervention is required to complete the cleaning process.

Many shops simply insist that, once your system is infested, the only way to assure your system is clean is to reload the Windows system. While this approach certainly does clean your system, it leaves you with the burden of reloading all of your applications, data files, etc. ...And if you haven't done backups of your data (your documents, spreadsheets, etc.), you lose them.

NorthEast Codeworks has the expertise and experience to successfully clean these pests from your system at least 90% of the time, without reloading Windows. If your system is pestering you with ads, or is running molasses slow, give us a call. See the Contact Us page.

Windows continues to grow bigger and bigger. Systems that originally ran Windows XP suddenly become sluggish when upgrading to Service Pack 2, mainly because SP2 requires more memory. Memory upgrades are relatively inexpensive, and can give new life to an overloaded system.

Disk space gets consumed over time, as more data files and more images are added to the system. Increasing disk space by installation of a new hard drive is easily accomplished, with complete transfer of all existing system and data files to the new drive. The old drive is returned to you for proper disposal, at your option.

The above are just two examples of simple upgrades that can make a dramatic difference in your system's performance. If you think you've outgrown your current system, give us a call to see if an upgrade would make sense, or whether it would be more cost-effective to simply replace the system.

Note that, if you are replacing your system, the only choice from many vendors is the pre-installation of Windows Vista, which can have serious consequences for ongoing operation of your business software.

Call NorthEast Codeworks to see if your systems can be affordably enhanced to better fit your current needs.

NorthEast Codeworks has worked on "special" projects, including providing customer support to users of a software system in clinical trials, enhancements and corrections to that software, and enhancements to "legacy" (old) software systems.

Some companies continue to rely on software that was originally written in the 1990's (or earlier), and, unable or currently unwilling to upgrade these programs, still require maintenance and enhancements of function. NorthEast Codeworks is always willing to take on projects involving these "legacy" systems, to help your business get the most from its software assets.

Please give NorthEast Codeworks a call or email for any special projects you want considered.
