Virus Removal, Cleanup / Tune-Up...

Are you about to give up on a computer that has become painfully slow or is unusable?

This behavior is usually the result of stuff that accumulates over time and with use: malware includes viruses, rootkits,spyware, and  unnecessary programs and processes running on start-up, damaged registry or corrupt operating system files. Our Tune-Up returns your computer to new, or even better than new, performance. 

Included in our $85 flat-fee Tune-Up and Virus Removal:

  • Complete rootkit, virus and other malware removal
  • Repair of damage Windows from malware, viruses
  • Hard drive cleanup of all temp items from browsing
  • Installation of free antivirus and malware cleaning software
  • Registry cleanup and repair
  • All Operating System updates
  • Removal of un-needed boot processes and startup items
  • Blow out dust from internal fans and components.

Tune-Ups must be performed at our location for the flat-fee $85amount, and usually require at least 24 to 48 hours to complete.

YES, we can come to your home or office for the tune-up and to remove viruses, but the hourly billable rate applies. A proper tune up at your place could take 5 to 7 hours or more of continuous work. We sometimes can get the job done in a couple of hours at your home or office, BUT fair warning, a badly infected computer CANNOT be remedied in a reasonable amount of time at your place and must be completed at the shop. The best thing to do is call us first do discuss whether or not your computer might qualify to be tuned-up at your location.

Why it makes more sense to bring it to us rather than having us come to you:

We've done this for years. We take in on average 6 computers per day for tune-ups, and have found that a proper and complete computer tune-up as described above can take many hours to complete. Much of that time is simply waiting for the various repair and cleaning utilities to complete. Just as well, there are times that an infected computer's operating system will be ruined beyond repair by viruses and the cleaning process, after many hours, will not succeed and an erase and reinstall will be necessary. Also,we like you to see it running perfectly after completion–at pick-up time–before you take it away.

Call ahead at 503-289-1986, or just bring your computer in. We are next to the Gotham Tavern at the corner of North Interstate and Albina Ave. If your computer is a laptop, please remember to bring your power cord. If you still have the Operating System CDs or restoration CDs that may have been included with your computer, it would be a good idea to include them. We cannot tune up Windows ME, Windows 98, or earlier, machines.

Metro Computerworks recommends you back up your important data prior to bringing in your computer for a Tune-Up.
Metro Computerworks can provide a back up service for an extra fee.
