March Madness Special!

It's that time of the year.   68 (as of today) NCAA Division I schools are getting ready for the big tournament to crown a champion.  The Vernal Equinox is around the corner, and Spring is about to begin.  What better way to celebrate than with some specials?


Spring Cleaning:

Winter is (hopefully) about to let up.  Now's the time folks start gong through basements, attics, garages, sheds, etc and find things we no longer want or need.   Your computer is the same way.   Over time, your computer builds up a lot of clutter.  Sometimes, you may even pick up some unwanted stuff along the way.  Here's where we can help out.   

The Spring Cleaning package starts with an initial consultation.  What seems to be the problem?   Is the computer behaving irregularly or slowly?   Are there strange pop-ups, tool bars, or programs?   We can help with this.   We can clean up the PC to make it run closer to its peak.  

The basic Spring Cleaning package starts at $40, and includes an internal dusting.

Spring Cleaning Add-Ons:

Want more than just the basic cleanup?   We can make that happen too! Below are some some bonuses, along with two prices.  The first is the combination price, the second is the stand-alone price.

Spyware Scan & Removal: $15 ($20)*
Whatever you choose to call it, Spyware, Adware, etc, these pieces of software generally ride along with a program you've installed.   They may offer "great deals on things you like", but they monitor your surfing, collect your data, may replace ads with their own, use up system resources, and are generally a nuisance.   They may even sneak in without being expressly desired.   Want 'em gone?   That can happen.  We'll scan your PC, see if anything unwanted is there, and get rid of it.

* Cost of software may apply, in addition, based on customer preference 

Virus Scan & Removal: $15 ($20)*#
For our purposes here, "virus" will be defined as "any malicious code unintentionally installed, with undesirable results".   Yes, there's a lot of types, a lot of distinctions, and they can do a lot of really bad stuff to your computer.  We can make them go away.   If you're running without security or anti-virus, we can help change that, as well.   At the end, you'll have a virus-free PC, and know how to keep it that way.

* Cost of software may apply, in addition, based on customer preference
# Virus Removal may be required during Spring Cleaning if infections are detected

Data Sorting: $15/hr ($20/hr)
Sometimes you have important files in a bunch of locations throughout your PC.  Want to get them all in one place?  This may be the solution for you.   The default is the appropriate folder within "My Documents", unless you have a different preference.   

Data Backup: $40 ($50) **
"Don't put all your eggs in one basket" is a good moral.   In the PC world, that can be applied.  It's good to always have a backup.   You never know when something may damage or destroy your had drive.  It's good to have a backup so you can make sure your important information is not lost.    With the data backup service here, your "My Documents" (and any other specified files or folders) will be backed up to the medium of your choice.    

** Media used for backup varies by customer, and may be Optical Disc (DVD), Flash Drive, Media Card, or external hard drive.   Backup media may be provided by customer, or provided at an additional cost.

Spring Into Growth:

That PC running a bit  too slow?   Not able to do all that you'd like?   Let's talk about that!    Cleanup is a good thing, but it can't really get you more performance than you originally had in your machine.   The important thing here is you.  What do you want out of your computer?   During our initial consultation, we'll discuss what you have, and what the best realistic options available are.  Sometimes it's just a matter of adding some more RAM (memory) that will help you out.  In other cases it might be a new processor and/or motherboard.  After we talk it over, you'll have all the information needed to make the best choice.

I'm sorry I can't put a specific number to this one, because it depends on your needs and wants.  But, as part of March Madness, any orders booked between today and March 31, 2013 will receive a 25% discount off labor charges on component installation, upgrade and configuration!
