What is My Home Tech Guy?

We are your personal high tech support guys specializing in computers and networking for home and small business users. We do the same thing the guys in a big office IT department do; keep your computers and network up and running smoothly. Hire your own personal computer tech guy to come to your home or business to take care of all your computer needs.

We serve the north Idaho and east Washington area.

Don't let the other guys erase your important data.

That is the number one complaint we get about the competition! They fixed my computer but erased all my saved pictures and files. What could be worse? We at My Home Tech Guy value your data as much as you do. We always back up your data before any procedure that could put it at risk.

Don't let the other guys lose all your installed programs

Most tech support and repair shops reinstall Windows to fix things that they don't know how to otherwise. This is a sign that they are less competent. Don't let the other guys reinstall windows when it can be repaired. Reinstalling Windows means that all your software must also be reinstalled. And if you don't have the install disks then you are out of luck.

What sort of things do we do?

Of coarse we can fix your broken computer whether it is a hardware or software problem. But we can do much more than that!

• We can help you with buying or upgrading your system.

• We do wired and wireless networking so you can share internet access and data between your computers. You can even share printers, scanners, and more.

• We can make your computer run faster by eliminating all the extra junk software that you don’t need or ever use.

• We can help you to become more knowledgeable and productive with your computer by tutoring you on the basics about it. How would you like to be able to look at the file system on your computer and know how to organize it? It’s not hard to do. You just need someone to show you how easy it really is!

• We can even make you your own custom designed web page or Windows computer program using the latest .net technology from Microsoft.

Think your computer is operating perfectly and doesn't need service?

Don’t be so sure.

If you use the internet from your computer and aren’t running anti virus and at least one anti spyware software, then it is likely you are infected even if you don’t notice a problem. A lot of spyware doesn’t adversely affect your computer's performance. It simply does as it's name implies. It spies on you and the data on your computer. Some spyware track where you go on the internet and report it back to a database. Others are not so benign. They search your computer for more harmful information about you such as passwords, account numbers, and social security numbers which can be used by identity thieves. Let us do a complete check of each or your computers and your network to make sure you are safe and secure.
