Default Computer fixed - it was messed up

After installing a new virus software, calling one of the $25-30hr guys in the newspaper, having a friend knowledgeable about computers and who communicates with the Computer Club gurus, I finally gave up and called TED FRY with MidStatePC (352-399-4986). Ted came to the house and tried to see if it would be an easy fix and it was not. He took it to his house, had it over the Easter weekend and brought it back Monday all cleaned up.

Here is what he found. THis being my wifes computer, it had BIG problems with 2-3 trojans, Rootkits imbedded, hidden files and drives, a radio that would start playing 2-3 in the morning, Computer Restore would not work, and the registry's for the USB drives were wiped clean.

Ted charges more than the $25-30 guys you see in the paper but you obviously get what you pay for. Ted is patient and understanding plus he got the job done....AND for an extra charge, he will tell your wife to stay off the Arts and Craft web sites that most likely got her into this mess.
