Setting up and new Apple Macbook Pro and changing broadband provider at Radford Semele in Warwickshire

Good morning today I am with a customer near Lewis Road at Radford Semele in Warwickshire, we are here because the customer has reported issues with using his Apple Macbook Pro Computer, It seems the problems the customer has on his Apple Macbook Pro are all to do with driver issues and need to be downloaded from the internet, unfortunately the internet service provider is Enta and the tariff has never been upgraded so the download speed obtainable (70 Kilobits per Second) is only about twice the speed of an old fashioned dial up connection (35 to 40 Kilobits per Second), the customer is already with sky for his telephone and TV package so we have ordered their Sky broadband unlimited package which they have reported should run between 1 and 4 Megabits per second and come back to fix the computer issues after the Sky Broadband has been activated.

Tiscali ( Talktalk ) internet trouble after AVG internet security installed at Leamington Spa in Warwickshire

Good morning we are with a customer on Guys Cliffe Road at Leamington Spa in Warwickshire, we are here to help the customer solve an issue with their internet which started after upgrading the antivirus to AVG 2012 Internet Security.

Update: Before we arrived the customer had ran system restore and this had got the internet security in to a bit of a mess, the add remove programs and the AVG removal tool would not work , so we removed all the temp files and application data, ran the Windows Install Cleaner and was then able to attempt a reinstall of the program, once installed the firewall failed and got stuck in a reboot loop, this seemed to be going no where fast so we removed the program and reinstalled the AVG Free which worked first time.

We also realigned the Brother DCP585CW whilst here as the print out appeared to have a blurred shadow in normal printing mode, with adjustment this appeared to be better, with Fine mode looking perfect.
