COMPUTER SYSTEMS MANAGEMENT 
  1. I will come in periodically to do preventive maintenance so you will have fewer panic calls for help.
  2. This means less down time.
  3. I do not get paid by some software company to sell you software regardless of whether need.
  4. My hourly rates are usually less than many consultants – mainly because I specialize in planned work and less on emergency call work. I can charge less because I can plan my work so that it done in an efficent manner. 
 
THE FLAT RATE FIX
Beware of the flat rate special! There are Outfits that advertise that they will fix your computer for just one flat rate. Sounds great doesn't it. There are two problems with this offer.
 
The first  problem - These firms figure that most of the people coming to them can be "fixed" quickly. They then charge enough to cover two to three times this amount  to pay for those that will run over.  So most people pay too much for the service they get.
 
However, the real problem with the flat rate fix is that the technician doing the repair has absolutely no incentive to do the job right or even to complete what they have done. In fact they have every incentive to stop as soon as you can once again start using your computer. 
 
I have often followed these flat rate repair people onto  sites to find really basic errors and common maintenance left undone.  For these firms turning off your computer's firewall is a "fix" to connectivity problems - Yet this will leave your computer open to future attacks.
 
To properly remove viruses and secure your computer will run somewhere between 2 and 9 hours. This large difference in posible times depends on How bad the infections, how well prepaired for disaster you are and how good your backups are. One place that I worked for a short while instisted that I remove all clean-up tools from the "repaired" computer so that the end user would not figure out how to do it themselves and not come back the next time.
