Computer Tune-Ups

Computer running slooooowly lately? Maybe you need a tune-up.

As computers are used (and abused), they get dirty:

• Adware and spyware violate your privacy and hog system resources.

• Programs needlessly start up and "run in the background" every time you start the computer, even when you don't need those programs running.

• Caches fill with useless data.

• Temp files build up and clog your hard drive with useless information.

• That dark and mysterious land known as the Windows registry gets clogged with garbage entries and remnants of poorly-written or improperly uninstalled programs.

Very often, an hour or so in the hands of a skilled technician can go a long way towards restoring your computer's vim and vigor. But at Geek On The Run, we go a step further. Not only do we correct the above problems, but we also tweak your settings to help speed up your system, and teach you how to help keep your computer lean, mean, and clean.

Important Notes. Please read first.

System requirements for the computer tune-up include: Windows 98 or newer Windows operating system; sufficient hard drive space for the installation of a few diagnostic and corrective utilities; and a working Internet connection. Some procedures require a high-speed Internet connection for optimal performance improvement.

Adware and Spyware removal may cause many "free" programs to not work anymore. To derive any real benefit from this offer, you must be willing to let us uninstall certain "free" programs such as KaZaa, Gator, Bonzi Buddy, Comet Cursor, and other spyware-laden programs. Why? Click here to find out. If you are not willing to uninstall these programs, then you will be wasting our time -- and your money -- by getting a tune-up.

A tune-up will not correct problems caused by hardware failure, viruses, or other serious corruption of system or program files. The tune-up is intended for basically intact systems that need cleaning and tuning, not for systems that have damaged hardware or serious software problems. If such problems are detected, the technician will offer you the option of abandoning the tune-up (at no cost to you), or of correcting the additional problems (at regular rates for the parts and/or services required).

Performance improvement will vary depending upon the age, general condition, and resources of the system. Geek On The Run services Nassau and Western Suffolk Counties in Long Island, and Southern Westchester County, New York. Please contact us to schedule a housecall.
