Each computer has a different role in everyone's house hold.. Could be browsing the Internet and checking e-mail, could be playing games, could be downloading music, could be composing music or storing family photos. We have put the computer in our homes and without it, we are pretty much lost. Thousands of family photo's are stored on your computer. Yet, dispite all of this technology, some how your PC gets infected with a Trojan, Virus, Malware, and browser high-jacking . I can take care of all of these nasty problems and best of all, I don't charge just to look at it. That's free. Other Techs have a seperate charge for speeding up your computer, thats included when I repair it. There are never any hidden charges or suprises! My prices are never any more that $150, and the average cost is about $75. I give you a complete report on what was removed, and prevent it so you'll see me once a year for a $50 check up. Its that simple! Why not go with Joeteck's computer repair??

| File / Data recovery |
Single hard drive data recovery, non-RAID disk. The drive must be still spinning in order for me to get any data off of it. The cost to do this is $500, if no data can be recovered a 20% charge ($100) of the orginal invoice is required. This is to pay for my time during the recovery efforts.. Multiple hard drive recovery, RAID drives. Up to 3 (600Gig) for SCSI, and (2TB) for SATA, is $1500. All three drives must still be spinning and the end user in hopes to repair it has touched nothing. The entire server is needed for any data recovery efforts. If no data can be recovered by Joeteck PC Services, the same 20% charge of the original invoice (in this case) $300 is paid after services are rendered. 4 drives or more in any RAID configuration, is $3000 and up.

| What is a computer virus? |
A computer virus is a computer program that can copy itself and infect a computer without permission or knowledge of the user. However, the term "virus" is commonly used, albeit erroneously, to refer to many different types of malware programs. The original virus may modify the copies, or the copies may modify themselves, as occurs in a metamorphic virus. A virus can only spread from one computer to another when its host is taken to the uninfected computer, for instance by a user sending it over a network or the Internet, or by carrying it on a removable medium such as a floppy disk, CD, or USB drive. Meanwhile viruses can spread to other computers by infecting files on a network file system or a file system that is accessed by another computer. Viruses are sometimes confused with computer worms and Trojan horses. A worm can spread itself to other computers without needing to be transferred as part of a host, and a Trojan horse is a file that appears harmless. Both worms and Trojans will cause harm to computers when executed. Most personal computers are now connected to the Internet and to local area networks, facilitating the spread of malicious code. Today's viruses may also take advantage of network services such as the World Wide Web, e-mail, Instant Messaging and file sharing systems to spread, blurring the line between viruses and worms. Furthermore, some sources use an alternative terminology in which a virus is any form of self-replicating malware.Some viruses are programmed to damage the computer by damaging programs, deleting files, or reformatting the hard disk. Others are not designed to do any damage, but simply replicate themselves and perhaps make their presence known by presenting text, video, or audio messages. Even these benign viruses can create problems for the computer user. They typically take up computer memory used by legitimate programs. As a result, they often cause erratic behavior and can result in system crashes. In addition, many viruses are bug-ridden, and these bugs may lead to system crashes and data loss. |
| What is Malware? |
Malware is software designed to infiltrate or damage a computer system without the owner's informed consent. It is a portmanteau of the words malicious and software. The expression is a general term used by computer professionals to mean a variety of forms of hostile, intrusive, or annoying software or program code. Many normal computer users are however still unfamiliar with the term, and most never use it. Instead, "computer virus" is incorrectly used in common parlance and even in the media to describe all kinds of malware, though not all malware are viruses. Software is considered malware based on the perceived intent of the creator rather than any particular features. Malware includes computer viruses, worms, trojan horses, most rootkits, spyware, dishonest adware, and other malicious and unwanted software. In law, malware is sometimes known as a computer contaminant, |
