Most everyday home computer problems, such as virus/malware infections, cost between $40 and $80 and take a couple of business days. We have a secure server for backups, and we safeguard your data first and foremost.

Pricing

Diagnosis is free, and we don't perform labor without first verifying it with you. Our in-shop service rates are $20 per hour, and our on-site service rates are $70 for the first hour and $40 for each additional hour.

The typical virus/malware cleaning costs $40. This is usually a great option if your computer has only just become infected.
The typical erase-and-reinstall costs $40. This may be a good option if you have no personal data that needs to be saved.
The typical data backup, erase, reinstall, update, cleaning, and restore costs $80. This is a great choice for those looking to save documents, data, pictures, music, and other personal files while restoring the computer to a clean, like-new state.

We fully disclose the price of replacement parts, and we usually don't make any markup on parts.

News

May 25th, 2010 — Benjamin Vander Jagt is running for a position on the City Council for the 3rd Ward in Winchester, VA. For more information, please watch the campaign website: http://vj2010.com (external link)

March 29th, 2010 — We will be closed on Tuesday, March 30th and Tuesday April 6th in observance of Passover.

March 25th, 2010 — We have just successfully split the server into an "external" server and and "internal" server. This has many great advantages, perhaps the biggest of which being reliability. The web, email, and name services are in a Fedora server, and the backups, proxy, firewall, file, and print servives are in an openSUSE server. This lets us scale servers individually, keeping on-par with the type of traffic needs we have. At the same time, we've taken the opportunity to change our Wiki. It may have some rough edges, but this should be a much more elegant and useful service. This split also means that each server can be a backup domain server for the other, and modifications made to one won't affect the other.
