Karla Johnston , Business Manager, Ray White Toowoomba
Our Toowoomba Ray White offices have been using Neil Sciffer from Computer Troubleshooters since 2004, after years of frustration with other technicians and service providers. Neil is always contactable and patient and his advice reliable and effective. No problem has ever been too big or too small. He gets along well with everyone in the office and has always felt like part of the team. It is very refreshing to be able to call a computer technician and not feel like you are bothering them or taking up their precious time! Neil has always responded quickly in times of technical crisis and provided solutions. I would have no hesitation recommending Neil’s services to any business or individual.
Nicki Forrest , Equifab - Mining, Drilling, Construction Toowoomba
Equifab has been contracting Neil and the team at Computer Troubleshooters since 2006. We have always found Neil a pleasure to deal with, his manner patient and knowledgeable, and the service provided by him prompt, efficient and value for money. We look forward to continuing our business relationship and recommend his services without reservation.

You did it. Thank-you Neil. You finally fixed the problem with my computer. Can't thank-you enough. So much for ??? being a tech support group for their product. Thanks for your support. Will spread the word about you. Regards
Margaret Brabrook , Esperanto Court
Dear Neil - just a line to thank you for your totally professional service this past week when I had a severe case of Separation Anxiety - turning to the Yellow Pages is a lottery but this time I struck lucky! There were so many ads but yours appealed -- firstly the words "no fix, no fee, guarantee" and "We know how you feel! We take the time to use plain English - - - -" I loved the picture of a man in a desperation pose - a pose I know so well! I've just emailed your details to all my Twmba friends - many thanks.

Frequently Asked Questions

WHAT IS SPYWARE? Spyware apps sneak onto your machine when you download many file-sharing services, open infected e-mails, or click on dubious Internet pop-up ads. They can manipulate your system, record your habits, and steal your passwords and credit card numbers. Depending on their degree of aggressiveness, they can steal your privacy or even your identity. And they can be terribly difficult to remove. HOW DO I KNOW IF I HAVE A VIRUS? You must remember that there are very many things that can go wrong with your computer and a virus is not always to blame. The only way you can know whether or not your computer is infected is by scanning your machine with an up to date anti-virus program. WHAT IS A TROJAN? A Trojan is a piece of code that performs unexpected or unauthorized, often malicious, actions. The main difference between a Trojan and a virus is the inability to replicate. Trojans cause damage, unexpected system behavior, and compromise the security of systems, but do not replicate. If it replicates, then it should be classified as a virus. A Trojan, coined from Greek mythology's Trojan horse, typically comes in good packaging but has some hidden malicious intent within its code. When a Trojan is executed users will likely experience unwanted system problems in operation, and sometimes loss of valuable data. WHAT IS A WORM? A worm is a computer program that has the ability to copy itself from machine to machine. Worms normally move around and infect other machines through computer networks. Using a network, a worm can expand from a single copy incredibly quickly. For example, the Code Red worm replicated itself over 250,000 times in approximately nine hours on July 19, 2001. A worm usually exploits some sort of security hole in a piece of software or the operating system. For example, the Slammer worm (which caused mayhem in January 2003) exploited a hole in Microsoft's SQL server. Worms use up computer time and network bandwidth when they are replicating, and they often have some sort of evil intent. A worm called Code Red made huge headlines in 2001. Experts predicted that this worm could clog the Internet so effectively that things would completely grind to a halt. The Code Red worm slowed down Internet traffic when it began to replicate itself, but not nearly as badly as predicted. Each copy of the worm scanned the Internet for Windows NT or Windows 2000 servers that do not have the Microsoft security patch installed. Each time it found an unsecured server, the worm copied itself to that server. The new copy then scanned for other servers to infect. Depending on the number of unsecured servers, a worm could conceivably create hundreds of thousands of copies. WHAT IS A VIRUS? A computer virus is a program – a piece of executable code – that has the unique ability to replicate. Like biological viruses, computer viruses can spread quickly and are often difficult to eradicate. They can attach themselves to just about any type of file and are spread as files that are copied and sent from individual to individual. In addition to replication, some computer viruses share another commonality: a damage routine that delivers the virus payload. While payloads may only display messages or images, they can also destroy files, reformat your hard drive, or cause other damage. If the virus does not contain a damage routine, it can cause trouble by consuming storage space and memory, and degrading the overall performance of your computer. Several years ago most viruses spread primarily via floppy disk, but the Internet has introduced new virus distribution mechanisms. With email now used as an essential business communication tool, viruses are spreading faster than ever. Viruses attached to email messages can infect an entire enterprise in a matter of minutes, costing companies millions of dollars annually in lost productivity and clean-up expenses. Viruses won't go away anytime soon: More than 60,000 have been identified, and 400 new ones are created every month, according to the International Computer Security Association (ICSA). With numbers like this, it's safe to say that most organizations will regularly encounter virus outbreaks. No one who uses computers is immune to viruses. DO YOU SELL USED COMPUTERS OR PARTS?
