I think im getting popular these people i help are from the poor side of town they can't afford to pay the local tech $65 an hour so they bring their sick pcs to me and i just charge them $20 for the whole job. Scan pc get rid of viruses, download and install Avast free edition, and ccleaner, defrag hdd, update anything that needs updating like windows updates and double check that the pc is clean before they pick it up.
