A computer virus is a computer program that can copy itself and infect a computer without the permission or knowledge of the owner. The term “virus” is also commonly but erroneously used to refer to other types of malware, adware, and spyware programs that do not have the reproductive ability.
A true virus can only spread from one computer to another (in some form of executable code) when its host is taken to the target computer; for instance because a user sent it over a network or the Internet, or carried it on a removable medium such as a floppy disk, CD, DVD, or USB drive.

I love to learn, and the computer world gives me an opportunity to do that! All of my knowledge is either School or self-taught or absorbed from friends/associates who are more knowledgeable in other computer related areas. I love networking and web design, though oftentimes you'll find me at a client's home helping them with their personal computer problems.
Running my business has allowed me the freedom to work when clients need me and yet not miss out on valuable family time. My kid thinks it's normal to have Daddy around working on computer during the night, I feel very fortunate.
Please understand that I work with computers because I love to. I enjoy what I do, I enjoy working with my clients and I would love the opportunity to earn your business!
