Computer Origins are pleased to announce our second birthday today! We opened our doors this day on 18th June 2008 and have come a long way. We hope you have enjoyed having us as your local sales and service shop because we intend on being here a good while longer!

Below is a few pictures of the shop just before we opened in 2008. A bit of a mess but we soon got it sorted out!

Access your files in more places - and on your schedule - with applications you can use from your computer, from a Windows phone, or via a Web browser.

Acronis Drive Monitor for FREE!

Richard Hall - Saturday, June 12, 2010
Acronis, the company behind some of the computer industry's leading disaster recovery software, have just recently released a Windows hard drive health monitoring application called Drive Monitor.

What is it and what could it do for me? Built into almost all computer hard drives, one or more you will have in your own notebook or desktop computer is a technology called S.M.A.R.T. If enabled, S.M.A.R.T. will measure and report on hard drive performance that could potentially lead to hard drive failure. The Acronis Drive Monitor software accesses these S.M.A.R.T. measurements and will notify you (hopefully in advance) of impending hard drive failure.

If the software is from Acronis then it's quality; what's even better is it's free!
Computer Origins is installing it right now!

So how did I get infected in the first place?

Richard Hall - Friday, February 19, 2010
So you've got an Anti-virus program installed, you are (as far as you're aware) careful on the internet, but it is likely your computer is more open than you think to an infection of some variety.

So how did you get infected in the first place?

If you have a spare half hour, please visit this webpage and read about the most common ways your computer can get infected. If you can't look at it now, then add it to your Favourites/Bookmarks and view at a later time for the good of your computer security.


Authorised iiNet Agent

Richard Hall - Friday, February 12, 2010


Computer Origins have officially become an Authorised iiNet Agent and we're ready to show you the cost and performance benefits of moving to an iiNet Broadband connection. iiNet is one of Australia's largest Internet Service Providers (ISP), while still providing small company service!

Richard from Computer Origins has been with iiNet both personally and professionally for over 6 years and he thought it was about time he told other people about it! If you're frustrated with your current ISP's over-priced and under-speed broadband plan then consider iiNet. We'll be more than happy to sit down with you and discuss an iiNet broadband plan that will be sure to convince you that not all internet service providers are the same.
