Today Soluto is taking a big step forward to help everyone get more from technology. Here at Soluto we’ve been working on some new stuff, and now it’s time to share it.  It’s just the beginning, and it’s pretty basic right now, but we need your feedback to make it great. Over the last year it’s become clear that many of you are supporting other people, either at work or as ‘family CTOs’ helping your parents, neighbours, even your grandma with their computers. It’s good to help others, but there’s gotta be a better way. So if you’re the person your family, friends or colleagues call when they have a problem with their PC we have something we believe will make you, and them, happier. Today we’re releasing a closed beta of the new Soluto that lets you easily help others. Here’s some of the stuff you can already do with it.

• Get tons of information about frustrations, such as non responsive apps and crashes, so you can solve things for the people you help, even before they lose it and call you screaming.
• Improve their internet browsing experience by installing or changing the default browser to the one you think is best, and getting rid of toolbars that are bugging them.
• Protect the people you help by installing anti-virus and activating their firewall.
• Eliminate constant, nagging application update reminders by automatically pushing silent upgrades.
• Install the apps that no-one should be without, Skype, Dropbox and more.
• Spot when hardware repairs are needed by tracking fan speed, temperature and battery wear. No-one likes a dead computer.
• Remove unnecessary apps from their boot to make their machine start faster and run smoother.

All of the improvements you make with Soluto will take place without disturbing the people you help. Best of all it’ll all happen as if by magic, no matter whether the machine is turned on or off, in another timezone or even on another planet. And you can do all this on your own PCs too. Go on, give it a try (it’s free). see regular releases of Yours, Tomer
