Service

DoorToDoorGeek offers service on anything with a chip in it

Most in-home services will cost $80.00 or less, of course time is money, the longer the job takes the most it will cost. DoorToDoorGeek will do everything possible to keep any single service call $80.00 or less.

The only job in the last 2+ years that cost a customer more then $80.00 was a job where the customer asked DoorToDoorGeek to purchase hardware.

DoorToDoorGeek likes a challenge and likes to learn that is a large part why DoorToDoorGeek tries to keep prices down, DoorToDoorGeek also believes if you are truly satisfied you will suggest services to friends and families

Any successful business follows the trend of "Supply and Demand" a overwhelming percentage of DoorToDoorGeek customers need what they think are tune-ups (actually they need spyware removal, virus removal, security updates and security applications) DoorToDoorGeek has devoting a exorbitant length of time researching solutions to those issues and because spyware and virus authors always aim to get past security programs all of the big name security programs like Norton and McAfee, they are often rendered useless by spyware and viruses. Companies with less of a public footprint can do a better job of remaining useful on a infected computer and remove a large percentage of spyware and viruses.

DoorToDoorGeek also believes in sharing knowledge and would prefer to loose a small amount of business to help educate all computer users, The first thing any user should know is the 5 rules of keeping your information safe on the internet and keeping your computer safe.(I did take this word for word from Leo Laporte)

  1. Don't open email attachments; even if it's from someone you know. If you do get something from someone you know, make sure that they really sent it to you. Email attachments are the number one way viruses and trojan horses get into your email. You might also want to turn off HTML email in Outlook and other programs. HTML emails are just as dangerous as rogue web sites, and can spread infections just by previewing them.
  2. Don't click links in email. That link could lead you to a phishing site, or the link may lead you to install malicious software. Copy and paste links into your browser, or type them in by hand instead. Another reason to disable HTML email - the HTML hides the real destination of that seemingly innocuous link.
  3. Don't download files from places you aren't absolutely sure are safe. Stick with the well known sites. Teeneagers who use filesharing software like BitTorrent, Azureus, Kazaa, Morpheus, Grokster, and Limewire, often unwittingly download spyware and trojans. If you must, quarantine all downloads then scan them a few days later with an updated anti-virus.
  4. Update your OS regularly! Turn on automatic updates in OS X and Windows. Apply all critical updates immediately. Criminals often create hacks within 24 hours of Microsoft's patches (these are called zero day exploits), so you need to protect yourself the day the patches appear.
  5. Use a firewall. The best firewall is a hardware router - the kind you use to share an internet connection. Even if they're not billed as firewalls, they are, and they're quite effective. I also recommend turning on your operating system's firewall - even if you have a router - but I don't recommend third-party software firewalls. They cause more problems than they solve.

DoorToDoorGeek uses the following software (but is not limited to)

All of these software packages are free or have free versions.

Also I feel it necessary to say any "geek" or "nerd" that says they know everything are the kind of person you do not want to touch your computer

While it is possible to know a lot or know how to find out information everything with or about computers or software moves at such a pace it is impossible to know everything

DoorToDoorGeek is committed to stay on the conservative side of the bleeding edge, all that really means is that DoorToDoorGeek does not use or suggest anything until it has proven to be mostly stable and free from defects or vulnerability, that goes for all technology.

DoorToDoorGeek looks forward to help you, your family or your friends through any technical hardships, issues or questions.
