My neighbor used someone named Carl who can be reached at 352-430-5149. She was very pleased with his service and rates. My advice to you is to be very careful when installing updates to your machine. Often an update will offer additional software such as Google Toolbar or Chrome to be loaded in addition to the intended update . The bad part is that the checkbox to approve loading these extras are checked by default. If you don't uncheck these things your machine will get clogged with stuff you never really wanted. Some of these extras are add-ons to Internet Explorer that may slow down your internet browsing. Other times they are little programs that get loaded at startup and run all the time for features you don't want or need and they consume valuable system resources such as memory and CPU cycles. You need a professional to get rid of the stuff you already have and you need to be diligent when doing updates. Hope this helps.

Contact the Village computer club. They have a list of people who do repair work on computers. All knowledgeable, and reasonable. Carl is one of a number of people from the club.
