So in the process of job hunting, I of course download something called ""PC Defender 2011"" and of course it wants my credit card info... right... not gunna happen. So I start calling around, Best Buy wants like 220, Office Depot wants like 199... sigh... so having all but given up on getting my computer fixed this pay check, low and behold on my way home from work, I see a ridiculously tall dude standing out waving a sign that says something about computers and ""$89"". Needless to say I was curious. I pull in expecting to find some teenager fresh out of high school, thinking he has some idea of what he is doing, but is really going to make my life hell. But wait! These are people in suits... maybe they know what they are doing after all. Okay, little leery of paying before I get my computer back, but hey, these guys are quoting a price I can actually pay, so what the hell, I will give em a shot. I dropped the computer off at about 5pm. The next day I get a call while I am at work telling me that my computer was done, and that I could come pick it up. I look at my watch. 3:30pm... So on my way home from work again, I swing by. At this point I am predicting all sorts of horrible things... but wait! It not only works, but they did all of my updates, for all of my programs, cleaned the computer, and sat down with me and showed me what happened and how to stop it from happening again... score! Thank you giant guy waiving the sign you are a life saver!
