Why should I bring my computer to you?
Because I have been in the computer field for over 7 years and I am a Certified Technician with a lot of experience.
When your computer comes to me I guarantee you will get specialized personal service and any questions you have will be answered. You could chose to bring your computer to a big chain of repair shops but before you do just remember that you're paying for tha name more than the work. My overhead is low and my rates are lower, plus the fast service.


Am I affordable?
Yes, my rates and fees are way cheaper than most of the competitors in the field. No hidden fees or extra charges.


How long will it take to fix the problem?
It depends, most problems can be solved in about 1 hour. Spyware and Virus's take much longer to diagnose and repair. In extreme cases only a complete format and re-install will remove all problems.


Do I need the original CD's that came with my computer?
Yes, if you do not have the CD's then I can not legally install an operating system.


Can my data be saved?
In most cases yes. If I can access your hard drive then most, if not all of your data can be saved. If your hard drive can not be accessed then it can be very expensive to retrieve the data because your hard drive will have to be sent out to a lab for data retrieval. Your best chance of data recovery is to always backup your important data. In any case data retrieval can not be guaranteed.


How can I get Antivirus Software for free?
If you are a Comcast High Speed Internet Broadband customer, or Verizon DSL customer. You are eligible to download McAfee Antivirus and McAfee Firewall for FREE. It is a complimentary subscription from your internet provider, as soon as you stay as member and a valid customer.


What It Takes To Protect Your Computer?

  • Antivirus Software (Updated once a week)
  • A properly Configured Firewall
  • Antispyware Software
  • Up to date Operating System

Securing Your Wireless Network:

1.Change the default SSID name of your wireless router, or access point. Hackers know the default factory set names of the different brands of equipment. Change it to something that can’t be easily guessed (a unique name). Do not change it to a person’s name, or any other names you might use.

2.Disable the SSID broadcast option – SSID broadcast is set to on as default for most equipment. Disabling this option will make it harder for others to connect to your network.

3.Change the default password needed to access a wireless device – Default passwords are set by the manufacturer and are known by hackers. By changing the password you can prevent others from accessing and changing your network settings.

4.Enable MAC address filtering – This is a feature on some wireless access devices that will only allow access by devices containing certain MAC IDs. This is not a foolproof solution, however, it can slow down a hacker and add another security block in his/her way.

5.Make sure to set the Security Encryption (Network Password) on your wireless device. Which it could be a WEP, or WAP. 64Bit, or128 Bit.
