PRESS RELEASE
YOUR HOME COMPUTER – THE ANGRY APPLIANCE
A cure for the Blue Screen (Of Death!) blues.
MORRIS COUNTY, NJ – December 1, 2005 – With over 1.6 million home computers in New Jersey, is it possible that there is no business that specializes in maintenance, upgrade and repair of these machines in the home? Well, now PCHandyMan has come to the rescue of millions of computer owners and users in New Jersey.
PCHANDYMAN of New Jersey is the first COMPLETE SOURCE for home computer support, offering services to the home computer owner that until now were only available at the office from corporate IT departments.
“The home computer has become as common in the American home as any household appliance. And like your dishwasher, from time to time, your computer is going to require a little maintenance and probably a good cleaning.” says Jeff Rothstein, owner and president of PCHandyMan. “Nobody expects you to haul your dishwasher back to the store for repairs. Why should you have to lug in your computer?”
PCHANDYMAN comes to you. A technician will speak with the computer owner and diagnose the problem, then they’ll go the extra step of not only returning the computer to it’s optimal performance level, but by inoculating it against all of the dangers that are floating around on the Internet: viruses, Trojans, worms, spam, adware & spyware and more. Then they’ll update your computer’s operating system, virus protection and firewall, finally securing the computer from all of the most common threats.
PCHANDYMAN also offers one-on-one tutorials on all the popular software titles, advises the owner on purchasing a new computer, and will even order, set-up and configure a new computer. Networking, wired or wireless, wireless printing, virus removal, system backup and "Divorcing Yourself from AOL" are some of the other services provided.
For more information on this revolutionary new service, or to set up and appointment, contact PCHandyMan at (973) 919-7876 or email them at pchandyman@optonline.net
What can you do about spyware and other unwanted software?
Spyware is a general term used for software that performs certain behaviors such as advertising, collecting personal information, or changing the configuration of your computer, generally without appropriately obtaining your consent. Continued...
Get your computer tuned up and cleaned out regularly!
If you’re like most personal computer users, you’re probably beginning to notice that your computer is showing it’s age. Programs don’t start as quickly as they used to, the computer freezes when you shut down, or right in the middle of that big project (that you forgot to save!) and you can’t surf the web because web pages load sooooooo slowly.
PCHandyMan is an idea whose time has come. There are 54 million households in America with at least one computer (Source: 2000 US Census), and yet most PC support companies and small businesses won't make house calls. What about us, the home computer owner? Where's our IT dept.? Where's our on-call support staff, or help line, our troubleshooter?
If you're on the Internet, if only to check your email, then you (and your computer) are at risk. There are three simple steps to protecting your PC while on the Internet.
Whether you call it a notebook or a laptop, portable computers are quickly replacing the old, bulky desktop computers of yore. And really, why not. When it comes to speed, memory, DVD burners and wireless networking, there's nothing these little guys can't do that their big counterparts can. PCWorld Magazine has reviewed the best notebooks of the year.
