The computer is running quite nicely now. This was the second viral infestation in eight months. Greg did a fine job of keeping me posted on the process. Sure glad I signed up for the Quality Care program.

After having my old computer repaired by Data Doctors a few years ago, when it came time to buy a new one, I could not think of a better place to buy it. You guys have spoiled me. No more big box stores for me.
