Honest scope
What we don't do
We don't sell ongoing antivirus subscriptions. We don't push you toward a paid antivirus you don't need — we'll tell you which free tools (built-in Windows Defender, Malwarebytes free, Mac's built-in XProtect) actually work, and we don't charge you to install them. We also don't fix infections we can't actually find — if your computer is just slow, the answer might be an SSD upgrade, not a virus cleanup.

Steve told me my old laptop wasn't worth fixing, instead of charging me to find out. That's the only kind of repair shop I trust.

FAQ
Frequently asked
Common signs: pop-ups when you're not browsing, browser redirecting you to unfamiliar sites, fans running constantly, computer suddenly slow, programs you didn't install. If any of these are happening, bring it in for a $75 diagnostic — we can confirm in under an hour.
No. Standard virus cleanup keeps all your files intact. We only do a full OS reset when the infection is so deep it can't be cleaned safely, and we always back up your data first. You'll never lose photos, documents, or downloads.
Yes, just less often than Windows PCs. Mac malware is usually adware (browser pop-ups, fake search results) rather than full viruses. We clean Mac infections the same way — flat $75-$150 depending on severity.
Yes. The $75 diagnostic fee is applied toward the cost of repair if you proceed. So a $100 virus cleanup is really $75 diagnostic + $25 — or just $100 total. You only pay extra if the cleanup goes beyond standard scope.
Bring it back within 30 days, we re-clean it free. If you're getting reinfected repeatedly, the issue is usually a browser extension or a habit (clicking suspicious links, downloading software from sketchy sites) — we'll show you what's causing it.
