We’d like to announce that we’re expanding on the services we offer to students at the Help Desk.  Over time and even with normal use, computers accumulate a lot of “baggage” that slows them down and otherwise interferes with their operability – most commonly, this takes the form of spyware / adware / as well as different viruses and trojans.

We provide instructions for helping to keep computers clean of these problems on our website here: http://helpdesk.coloradocollege.edu/index.php/tips-and-how-to/protect-your-computer/ but have been unable to assist students with these problems because it is so time consuming and we don’t have enough staff to handle the load.

Starting now, we are offering help “tuning up” computers to rid them of problems and otherwise get them to perform as fast as possible during the Help Desk night shift (6:00 pm to midnight most nights). We are still not able to offer this service during the day, but our night shift folks will be happy to help you tune up your computer.  Stop by after 6:00 and give it a shot!
