WHY IS YOUR PC SO SLOW?

Did you know that clicking “Shut Down” in Windows may not completely reset your PC because of Fast Startup?

Over time, your computer can accumulate background processes and performance issues, making it feel slower.

Quick fix: Instead of just shutting down, try Start → Restart. A restart gives your PC a proper refresh and can help resolve minor performance problems.

Still running slowly? Oh So Tech can help get your computer back up to speed.

Scammers are getting smarter every day, but a few simple habits can keep you (and your money) safe.

Here’s what actually works:

• Think twice before clicking any link or opening attachments from people you don’t know
• Use long, unique passwords — and never reuse the same one everywhere
• If someone contacts you asking for money or personal details, double-check who they really are through a different channel
• Your bank, SARS or any official organisation will never ask for your password, PIN or OTP
• Only shop on sites that start with https:// and show the padlock
• Keep your phone and computer updated
• Talk about scams with family and friends — awareness really does help

If you ever think you’ve been scammed, contact your bank straight away, change your passwords, and report it to SAPS or the Cyber Crime Helpline on 0800 203 722.

Stay sharp out there.

South African businesses are being warned about a growing cyber threat.

INTERPOL has raised concerns about cybercriminals targeting organisations with ransomware, phishing, malware and data theft.

It’s a good reminder that cybersecurity isn’t something to think about after something goes wrong.

Keep your systems updated, back up your data, use MFA, and make sure your staff know what to look out for.

If you’re not sure how secure your business really is, Oh So Tech can help you check.

Is your old computer ready for Windows 11?

Windows 11 offers better security and smoother performance, but not every PC meets the requirements.

Your computer generally needs:
• 64-bit processor
• At least 4 GB RAM (8 GB recommended)
• 64 GB storage
• TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot

Not sure if yours qualifies?
We can quickly check your system and advise you on the best next step.

Is your Wi-Fi suddenly slow or dropping for no clear reason?

It’s not always your internet provider’s fault. A lot of the time the problem is sitting right in your home.

Here are the most common causes we see:
× Router in a bad spot – Corners, the floor, or stuffed inside a cabinet kill the signal.
× Interference – Microwaves, cordless phones, baby monitors and lots of Bluetooth devices can mess with your Wi-Fi.
× Too many devices – When half the house is connected at once, older routers start struggling.
× Internet plan too slow – Streaming, gaming and video calls need more speed than people realise.
× Outdated router or settings – Old firmware or a router that’s just past its best can cause constant problems.

Quick things you can try:
-Move your router to a central, elevated spot
-Use the 5GHz band for streaming and gaming
-Restart the router once a week
-Disconnect devices you’re not using

If you’ve tried the basics and still have dead zones or slow speeds, a proper check or a mesh system usually sorts it out.

Need help figuring out what’s going on with your -Fi?

We’re happy to take a look.

I feared the day will come and it is coming. Upgrading your PC will become nostalgie.

The next generation might not let you upgrade anymore

Thinking about upgrading your security cameras?

A lot of people still have older analog systems, but IP cameras have become the better option for most homes and businesses these days.

Here’s the simple difference.

IP Cameras give you:
Much clearer HD footage (you can actually see faces and details)
Live viewing from your phone anywhere
Better night vision
Smart alerts for motion, people, or vehicles
Stronger security and encryption
Easier to expand later if you need more cameras

Analog cameras, on the other hand, are usually lower resolution, harder to access remotely, and more limited in features.
If you’re still relying on an older system, it might be worth looking at an upgrade — especially if clear footage and remote access matter to you.

We install quality IP camera systems across Pretoria and can help you choose what actually makes sense for your home or business.

Feel free to message us if you’d like a free site assessment or just some honest advice.
