What Is A Computer Virus?
Computer viruses are small software programs that are designed to spread from one computer to another and to interfere with computer operation. A virus might corrupt or delete data on your computer, use your email program to spread itself to other computers, or even erase everything on your hard disk. Computer viruses are often spread by attachments in email messages or instant messaging messages. That is why it is essential that you never open email attachments unless you know who it's from and you are expecting it. Viruses can be disguised as attachments of funny images, greeting cards, or audio and video files. Computer viruses also spread through driveby downloads on the Internet. They can be hidden in illicit software or other files or programs you might download. To help avoid computer viruses, it's essential that you keep your computer current with the latest updates and antivirus tools, stay informed about recent threats, run your computer as a standard user (not as administrator), and that you follow a few basic rules when you surf the Internet, download files, and open attachments. Once a virus is on your computer, its type or the method it used to get there is not as important as removing it and preventing further infection.

What Is My Objective?
This is my goal, to give the best computer repairs/tech support i can and to build a good rapport with the public, people/friends that i have on here & to do my job so well that it'll make them bring their computers back to me if they ever need it repaired again & they'll send their friends to me if they ever need a repair. What i do is fix & repair computers that have been damaged from viruses, rogue malware, spyware, and various other malicious programs that install themselves without users consent & sometimes knowledge. I also repair the operating system, recover lost or deleted files, repair the registry, prescan for viruses with bootable antivirus discs & then backup the remaining files for replacement after the repairs are finished. I can also provide tuneups, and install antivirus/antispyware software (Free/Paid Versions) to prevent future reinfections. No antivirus is 100% effective in stopping a virus or trojan infection so safe browsing habits are always advised to anyone that uses the internet & downloads files from the internet. I can optimize the computer & maximize its efficiency for however your daily useage & routine requires. I also do operating system installations & upgrades, hardware installation & upgrades, troubleshooting, remote virus removal (providing the computer boots up & will connect to the internet) and remote assistance of solving common computer problems. All YOU have to do is download this free remote computer software program and install it and give me the ID number & password to give me FULL access to the infected computer and watch me go thru your computer & remove the infections. If they are infections that cant be removed then u receive a full refund of your money. If you’ve ever experienced the Blue Screen Of Death then you know that even after a virus is removed theirs still damaged files, & critical operating system components that have to repaired/replaced before the computer will properly run again. In some but not all of them instances a “Remote Repair” isn’t possible because the computer is rendered inoperable and will have to be brought into the shop so a bootable recovery & repair disc can be used to clean & repair the computer. Ive compiled together a partial price list to show the fees of my services here.
