Virus Removal
Trojan horse virus detected by AVG
Is your computer acting funny? It could be a virus. The predominance of computer viruses and other types of infection are on the rise. And even if you have the latest antivirus software, an infection can still sometimes get through to your computer. Viruses not only cause slow performance, unwanted pop-ups and messages, but they can also steal your private information and pass themselves on to your friends, coworkers, and family. If you think you have a virus you avoid using your computer and have one of our virus removal experts clean your computer for you.
Every time we remove viruses we also tune up the computer, verify that your antivirus is functioning, ensure that your computer is protected by a firewall and that all the latest security updates are installed.
Network Installation and Repair
If you have two or more PCs in your home, have you considered networking them? A network allows your computers to share files, a printer, and an Internet connection.
Even better, a wireless network is the cutting-edge way to connect all of the computers in your home without the cost or hassle of installing wires. Wireless networks are perfect for people who want to connect laptop and desktop computers or for people who don’t like to be tied down. Our professionally installed wireless networks are secured against prying neighbors with the latest encryption techniques.
If you have a wireless network, but it just isn’t giving you the range or performance you would like, we can help with that too. Our technicians are equipped with the tools to evaluate your wireless network and resolve the causes of poor reception, slow transfers, and lost connections.

We can help you avoid a the bad situation we see all too often — crashed computers leading to lost photo albums, personal computer documents, work, and other computer files. The files on your computer are too important not to back up.
We have tested countless backup systems and can provide you with expert assistance in selecting the right one for you and we can even set it up for you.
