Computer Attacks are at an All-Time High
It seems that every day another friend of mine's Facebook account is getting hacked, their laptop fails to boot up, a hard drive dies, on and on...Of course I get the occassional surprise visit from the evil computer leprechan myself, but for the most part, I prevent a lot of problems from ever occuring.
I work in a company of about 200 hundred people. Over the last 6 years here, I've fixed viruses, replaced RAM, installed hard drives, installed graphics cards, removed junk files, etc. But I'm not in the IT department... Nope, I'm just your ordinary guy that decided to take matters in my own hands and learn about how computers work and how to fix them.

The True Problem is not your broken computer, rather the fact you don't have the knowledge to take care of it yourself... yet!
Ever heard the saying "knowledge is power"?
Well, I'm about to turn you into The Hulk, without all the anger management issues and ripped shirts... Spend a few hours with me and I'll
cure all your computer woes...
