A BUSINESS is donating its charge for computer health checks to help the Asian tsunami disaster appeal.

Harrison Computers, of Langley Moor, near Durham, charges £25 for the service, but in the wake of the Boxing Day tragedy in the Indian Ocean, the company has pledged to donate the fee to the appeal fund for the next month.

The service includes checking computers' security and anti-virus programmes, and clearing up hard drives.

Director Graham Nevard said: "We felt strongly that we wanted to do something special for the appeal, but we also wanted something that would give extra value for people who have probably already made a donation."

The company hopes the offer will raise up to £1,000.

To take advantage of the service, call 0191-378 2618.
