You just can not trust computer repair shops for the most part.

Case in point, I had gotten a new computer (first one) when i had gotten out of middle school. I took it to comp usa half a dozen times to have serviced under its warranty... after countless back and forth confrontations i decided to rip into the thing myself... bought 2 256 sticks of ram swapped them out and voila... computer was purring like a cat.

When id worked at Circuit City... firedog always tried to tack on pointless apps (spyware defenders norton ect) and usually the customer didn't need these applications. But if you talked to a tech they made them seem absolutely neccisary.

90% of these computer repair agencys make profit by screwing our moms/dads/grandparents over...

and sadly since they dont know any better; they're typically taken in hook line and sinker.
