Virus Removal

Viruses used to be merely a joke or a prank, but they have since evolved into serious threats, most of them now try to steal from you. Most viruses are completely hidden. They silently infect while trying to steal your passwords, credit card numbers, bank account information, and your identity. I have the tools to remove spyware or viruses and the anti-virus software to keep you safe in the future.

Operating System Reinstall

Computers slow down because of the abundant software, plugins, and adware installed on them over time. Viruses can cause damage to system files requiring a reinstall. I will back up all of your photos, documents, music, etc., erase your hard drive, and reinstall the operating system. Do not run "System Restore" on your own, it can delete your personal files and many times it will even fail and make things worse. I have well proven methods to reinstall with all the latest updates/service packs while saving your personal files. Many people say their computer runs faster than when it was new. I service Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7.

Windows 7 Upgrade Advice

Call me for Windows 7 upgrade advice. I can help you before and after the decision to upgrade. Windows 7 outperforms Windows Vista and is the new standard for all new Windows computers. Most older computers are only 32-bit. 64-bit Windows option is much faster and is common on new computers with Windows 7. If you purchase a new computer and want good performance, look for one with Windows 7, 64-Bit, a dual or quad core processor, and 4Gigs of RAM or more. If upgrading your current Vista or WinXP computer, it may need other upgrades first, or maybe it is just too old. Call me for advice.

This service also includes a new computer Set-Up Tune-Up. I will remove the trial software, perform windows updates, and install a the best Anti-Virus software.
