While a hacker was on my computer accessing my bank accounts and trying to remove the anti-virus software that Computer Problems Solutions ltd had installed , CPS were alerted that this was happening, so they tried to alert me by phone numerous times, but because I was on the phone to the hacker, (who claimed they were from Microsoft tying to remove a virus), they couldn't get through to me. So they drove several miles to my house and arrived just in time to stop the hacker and phoned my bank to alert them. They came back the next day to check my computer etc. By the way this was over a weekend.

We had been experiencing problems with internet access and increasingly slow speeds for a couple of weeks. We were having to re-boot several times a day and were on the point of throwing the computer out of the window !!! I saw an advert for PCS in a local magazine and rang on the 15th February. I explained to Neil the problems and an appointment was made for the following day. At last we could relax - professional help was just around the corner ! Neil rang back shortly afterwards to say that due to a cancellation, he could be with us within 20 minutes !! Cleared the desk and made sure the coffee pot was on. He diagnosed the potential problems within seconds. He recommended deleting certain antivirus software installing a different product and suggested relocating the router, which I did the next day. What a difference in performance !! Knowledgeable, trustworthy, professional and very friendly. We still have windows 10. Neil pointed out that our existing computer could not be upgraded to Windows 11. Fear not - we will be returning to CPS to purchase a new system. Can't speak highly enough of the service we received. Thoroughly recommend CPS to anyone

I needed to replace my very slow computer and printer. Currys were less than helpful. I phoned Neil on Wednesday 22 November and discussed my needs and the very next day he arrived with the new hardware. The data from the old computer was transferred to the new computer and the system was updated to Windows 11. I cannot express how impressed I am with him and his CPS company. It is so good to deal with a small business rather than a huge company. It was so good that everything was done in my home rather than me having to take my computer elsewhere. He advised me on updating an external drive to back up my data - which I did. Totally amazing. Thanks Richard Austin

I had locked myself out of our pc and my wife had some urgent banking to deal with. I rang and left a message out of desperation expecting a lot of faffing and a big bill, at best.. A few minutes later, my call was returned and a time and hourly rate was agreed. Within the thirty minutes predicted, Phoenix had started to fix a more complex problem than I expected. Within the hour he had resurrected access to Windows 11, reinstated most of our usual sites (which had been wiped), resolved a problem with our security software and a long standing problem which affected a few sites but not others. This last was probably the result of re setting W11, which had come pre-loaded with the pc. A full sixty minutes of flashing fingers. Even gave us tips on replacing our old mobiles, bonus. Hope not to need them again, but if I do ....

The time had come to replace my old laptop and printer but, as a pensioner with very little knowledge of computers, the prospect of doing so was quite daunting. I need not have worried. I found an advertisement for CPS in a local directory and phoned to ask if they could help me. They could. I explained what I needed and in no time Neil came to my house with suitable replacements and set everything up. A week or two later I phoned him again to ask for some Windows 11 tuition. He came the following day. The service I received was outstanding - competent, prompt, obliging and friendly. I would not hesitate to recommend Neil and his company.

After far too long suffering the frustration of a painfully slow Laptop, constantly watching "the Circle of Doom", I finally decided to do something about it. Thanks to Which Trusted Trader I found CPS Ltd. I phoned CPS on Monday and a home visit was arranged for 10am on Tuesday. Phoenix arrived punctually and within minutes diagnosed my laptop had a faulty SSD. After further investigation he identified the HDD I required to replace the faulty part. Phoenix knowledge was exceptional. He kept me informed throughout of his findings, my options, and costs involved. I decided to have a new HDD fitted, which Phoenix had in his vehicle. Within 2 hours he had diagnosed, repaired and transferred everything onto the new HDD, leaving me with what feels like a brand new Laptop. I can't thank CPS enough for the service they have provided and won't hesitate to use them again, should I ever require them. Thank you.

We had advised BT that we were moving but had also advised them in good time that the move wasn't going to happen. On the morning of the 17th October we found that everything had been disconnected - phone, Broadband etc. As we are both elderly and my hearing isn't good we contacted Neil Buzzard who came out very promptly and took over the phoning to BT and generally helping us out. Between then and the 31st he was in contact with us and also had visits from Phoenix. We are so grateful that they helped us out in such a friendly and professional manner and I would highly recommend them..

My computer had years of accumulated dross and ancient security. I contacted Neil Buzzard and he immediately offer to visit the same day but on reflection thought it could be dealt with remotely. Within minutes I received a telephone call from the engineer in his office who then spent two hours sorting out the issues and installing new security. Everything sorted within 2-3 hours of my initial call and I now have a properly functioning computer again with ongoing monitoring. A real pleasure to deal with individuals and a company who provides such prompt and first-class service and I have no hesitation in recommending Computer Problem Solutions.

Found that my computer wouldn't run Windows 11. Emailed Neil ( outside business Hrs!) and received a reply straight away . Booked me in for a home visit so no need to dismantle my computer & lug it to a shop. The technician on the day was very professional and friendly, explaining in detail what he would be doing. The issue was fixed within the hour I was told it would take. I am extremely pleased with the service I have received, and also by the fact that I have saved the cost of having to buy a new computer

I was browsing on the internet for a gift and series of warnings came up and was recommended to call Microsoft. I called the number on the screen presuming I was talking to Microsoft. The operator was very polite and patient and asked me to give her access to my system. She proceeded to reassure me that she was removing a Trojan bug. However at the end of the call, something did not feel quite right. I was worried all night so decided to contact a local IT specialist the next day. I came across Computer Problem Solutions in the Local Pages. I rang the company and spoke to Neil. He said that the "Microsoft Help" was a scam and came out immediately. Neil reset the computer to a fortnight before and cleared a couple of viruses. He was very reassuring and professional, keeping us informed at all times. I have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone who has IT problems and we will certainly be using him again.

I had been putting off doing something about my elderly laptop. Along with being slow , it was developing worrying problems and I was pretending it wasn't happening. My concern was the transfer of my many music playlists, which I had lost on a previous laptop update. Local journal provided advert for CPS and my goodness did Neil deliver. Came in ten minutes after call and fixed everything by cloning my data, plus playlists onto new computer. Nothing was a problem and all completed in amazing time and reasonably priced. Details now on my fridge for service updates etc.

CPS Ltd not only came well recommended by a good friend who actually did work in IT, so I had high hopes of getting a good service. I was not disappointed, I had a number of problems that needed resolving, not only to work from home in the future but to also work from my Garden Office. From the installation of a new system to extending the WiFi and improving it drastically, not only throughout my home, but now extended to the end of the garden and most importantly in the Garden Office. What I enjoyed most, that Phoenix the IT expert, explained everything throughout the process in basic terms, that my ageing less than IT savvy brain could fully understand and more importantly take in. This was done without any pressure and always taking into account what was in my best interest not just for now but in the longer term future. I now for the first time in a long time, have everything I need to work comfortably from home and most importantly everything is all connected up with no stone left unturned. I highly recommend CPS Ltd and will certainly remaining with them for all future IT requirements.

I was experiencing some Outlook email issues and contacted CPS having seen Neil’s articles in my local community magazine. He called the following day and soon remedied the problems. As my laptop was running slowly, following a discussion, I asked Neil to replace the hard drive with a solid state drive and increase the RAM by 50%. This has effectively future proofed it and it is significantly quicker. After the visit I realised I had lost my email contacts but this was quickly rectified remotely. Very happy to recommend and I’m pleased to know I have a local specialist should I need assistance in the future.

Neil has supplied all my computer needs and technical support for well over 20 years now. I can't speak highly enough of him. Neil is extremely knowledgeable; he is a very effective problem-solver; he is pragmatic and practical; and he is efficient, effective and obliging. Neil is always available to give advice, whether during the working week, at weekends and even when he's on holiday. He responds very promptly and, in an urgent situation, will be on site in very short order. Neil is also a lovely, polite and considerate person, who I regard as a friend. In short, I couldn't contemplate seeking advice elsewhere. Neil is utterly reliable, trustworthy and competent and he delivers a superb service. Long may he continue to provide that!

Those of you with families will know what several years of gaming and the kids' unwanted downloads does to the running speed of an already ageing desk top. My own contribution to this mess was an iTunes library that had somehow come to contain music located in four separate folders. Neil put together a great new package to meet the spec I set out and combined bulldog determination and saintly patience in sorting out my music library. I was particularly impressed by his near-instant availability in response to e-mail pleas for help. Definitely beyond the call, and highly recommended.

I urgently needed to replace my laptop. After visits to the national companies where I was unable to find exactly what I was looking for, I was recommended to Neil with a view to having a laptop built to my requirements at a very competitive price. The service I received was excellent, both by Neil himself and by Phoenix, his assistant, who came to my home and completely set up the laptop within a very short period and took time to ensure I was totally happy with it. Nothing was too much trouble and even the most basic questions were fully explained at length and with patience. This company is extremely efficient and I am so grateful for the recommendation which has enabled me to have someone on the end of a telephone for help if required.

Whooooosh!!! That's the sound Internet Technology makes when it flies over our heads !!! But luckily we have CPS at hand to unfurrow our brow !!! It always seems like a massive drama to us, if and when we get a glitch in our PC but Neil is only a phone call away and has always been with us within the hour with an attitude and manner with his expertise that is reassuring. Nothing is a big deal and he always explains what he is doing, which also makes that woooshing sound !!! We don't understand what he does but he does it and leaves us "online" once again. We would recommend Neil and CPS to anyone, especially the 60 something's who have found themselves with the 21st century technology but haven't got the expertise or the solutions to the gremlins that come with it. Thank you for being there at the end of the phone Neil. Alan Spencer & Jo Evans.

15 months ago I needed a new PC with Windows 8-1 and the latest Office software installed. After researching well-known companies I decided to also research locally. I was impressed with the modern and informative web-site of CPS. I enquired if a bespoke pc could be made for me - it could and the cost compared with the big companies. I will never use a national company again. Why? From my initial enquiry to the installation everything was undertaken promptly, efficiently and courteously. No time was wasted on idle chatter, no unnecessary work was undertaken and Neil exuded confidence and efficiency. A problem that occurred later due to a faulty component was dealt with immediately - Neil visited my house and replaced it. No having to spend ages speaking to a company's technical department only to find that they want me to return the pc for the part to be replaced. He provides an optional service annually and once again, all work was carried out with speed and efficiency. One can ask Neil the stupidest of pc related questions and you will be treated with respect. He never wants to know your life history or personal circumstances - which I find refreshing. After he leaves one feels he has earned every penny and not wasted a moment. In short, I now feel that I have 'my' own personal pc guru at the end of a phone. And of course, he knows everything about my pc and takes pride in ensuring all is well. Neil also prides himself in responding quickly to phone or e-mails
