Is your computer slow, noisy, overheating, or taking forever to start? Good news — you likely don’t need a new computer. Most systems in Lethbridge just need a proper computer cleaning and tune-up.
I’m Tony from Y-Not Tech Services, and I help seniors and families in Lethbridge get their computers running fast, cool, and reliable again — without confusing jargon or pressure to buy things you don’t need. If you’re looking for computer cleaning in Lethbridge, I provide both on-site and drop-off service.
Why Your Computer Gets Slow Over Time
Computers slow down for a handful of predictable reasons:
- Too many startup programs
- Years of junk files and clutter
- Old, failing hard drives
- Dust blocking cooling
- Browser toolbars and hidden malware
- Out-of-date software
- Conflicting antivirus programs
A full cleaning and tune-up restores performance without replacing the computer. My computer cleaning services in Lethbridge include dust removal, tune-ups, scam cleanup, and cooling fixes. Some software could be spying on your browsing habits and slowing things down. We offer professional spyware removal services.

Dust & Overheating: Computer Cleaning in Lethbridge
One of the most common issues I see in Lethbridge is dust buildup.
Over time, dust causes:

A proper internal cleaning makes your computer run quieter, cooler, and much more reliably.

Scam Pop-Ups & Fake Virus Warnings
If your computer suddenly shows:
- Fake Microsoft warnings
- “Your computer is infected” messages
- Loud beeps or scare alerts
- Numbers to call
- Strange Telus/Outlook pop-ups
These aren’t real viruses — they’re scams. During your tune-up, I remove them fully and verify banking safety.
