Detailed Services

• Virus/Spyware Removal
  
  Does your computer run slow, are you plagued by constant pop-up windows while surfing the internet, have you lost your Home page? Your computer may be infected with a virus or spyware.
  
  Have you run your virus scans, Spybot and Adaware and are still plagued by pop-ups? You may be infected with CWS (CoolWebSearch) or the Lop installer. These are two of the more difficult infections to detect and remove.
  
  I have the tools to detect and remove these infections as well as software to install to help prevent future occurances. My recommended software tool kit is all shareware software that can be downloaded for free.
  
  
• New PC Setup
  
  You've got the computer out of the box, now what do you do? Can you connect to your printer, connect to the internet, are you safe from viruses and spyware? Is your computer startup slow because of all the unnecessary programs Dell, HP, etc. load at startup?
  
  I can customize your desktop, set up user accounts for all family members, install all current drivers, connect you to the internet, optimize your startup, and configure virus and spyware removal software.
  
  
• Home Network Setup
  
  Do you have multiple PC's and want to share your broadband internet connection? Do you want to use your laptop anywhere in your house or yard without wires?
  
  Let me install a secure wireless network so you can share your boardband connection, share printers and share files or just use your laptop throughout your house.
  
  Do you have a wireless network but it is not secured using Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA)? Let me secure your network.

  Let me upgrade your operating system. Ready for Vista?
