Tom was fantastic. I got him through Angie's List. I saw all the reviews on him and decided I need to talk to this person. Within a few seconds of talking to him on the phone, I knew I had the right person to trust with my computer. We scheduled a date and time and he came over on time. Both my husband and I where present when he started up the computer and he knew as soon as he turned it on and saw the screen what was going on. I had fallen for the Malware Trap. He said he would take my computer home, try to get rid of the malware, get all my information off the computer and call me in two days to let me know if he could get the old clunker back to running again. He called back with in 2 days and explained to me that the malware spread through the whole computer. He said that he could rebuilt the computer and be able to speed it up a bit. My husband and I talked it over and decided I needed a better computer. We told Tom we were on a budget and he fully understood. He suggested a refurbished computer. He gave us some good advice on what protection that we can access for free, how to use it, the difference between the operating system, whether a lab top or desk top would be better for me, etc. I decided on the desk top. He was able to order the computer, we got it within 4 days. We scheduled a time for him to come to the house and run through the programs and install all my personal information from my old computer. He explained how to run the scans, etc. He showed me how to get some of my old software to run, etc. Tom gave us more time than I ever expected. He is a very personable person who knows his business and goes beyond what any store can offer you. I would recommend him to everyone.

Have dual-core/dual disk tower unit that froze up completely. Was advised by another party that disk needed to be replaced. I felt this was not the problem. Called Tom,arranged to meet him the next day and dropped off my unit. Five days later, Tom met me and returned unit,after eliminating virus/malware problems and restoring and updating all files. More importantly Tom took time to explain in detail how to identify and prevent any FUTURE problems. Tom goes beyond ordinary to resolve computer problems and help you keep them from returning. For great service at a reasonable price, Tom is the man to see.

Tom came out to my home. He was very prompt, he ran some tests on my computer. Checked for malware and other bad things that your computer gets infected with unexpectedly. After a couple of hours it was working like brand new, fast and no more freezing up. He helped me understand all the different tricks that we can protect ourselves with that no one ever tells you. He also called me a couple of weeks after our appointment to make sure everything was still running smoothly. And yes everything is perfect. He is now my go to computer guy :)
Description of Work: I was having trouble with my home computer, it was very sluggish and constantly freezing up and it was less than 2 years old. I was ready to throw it out the window!

His advice solved the problem both times.
Description of Work: The owner of this business is such a service-oriented individual! On two occasions we have called him about problems with my wife's computer - both times he spent his valuable time counseling her about ways that she could bypass a service call and both times he was spot on. Naturally we hope that we won't have need for his services soon, but we would definitely rely on CPR for any of our PC needs.

Contacted Tom over the weekend; he picked up the computer the next week and completed the work within a week. He was clear about how long it would take and why. He was pleasant, personable and very helpful with answering questions and giving explanations. He was fair and considerate about pricing including checking back with us about certain costs. We would definitely call him again in the future.
Description of Work: Replaced hard drive, installed new OS, retrieved data, and other software, networked new computer to wireless printer and to other household computer.

Tom was on time, professional and very reasonably priced. We have used CPR for a couple of years and have had the same experience every time. Anytime we have an issue with malware or a virus he's there to help you. Just genuinely wants to help you and explain the issue instead of just coming in, charging you for coming, doing something in 10 minutes and then charging you for leaving. You won't find a better assistant if you have any issues with the computer. I'm pretty sure networking is what Tom does on a daily basis but he understands computers and was able to figure out our system and get it going perfectly.
Description of Work: Tom came in and set up 3 new computers on our network. They needed some work to get the same operating systems as the other 3 we have here. They also needed to start pulling information from our main computer.

We were having major issues with our computer and when Tom came out to take a look he suspected it was the hard drive. Tom took the computer with him along with a back-up disc. The problem was exactly what Tom said it would be and it was repaired rather quickly. Unfortunately, we were having work done at our house and asked Tom if he wouldn't mind keeping it for a few weeks. When we were finally able to have Tom deliver the computer it was perfect. He uploaded all the old programs we had and even came back the next to day to help with some questions we had. Tom has been our computer go-to-guy for so long he has become part of the family. He is a wonderful person to deal with and is very knowledgeable in his field. We have learned more from Tom then we have from any class we have taken.

When some malware all but shut down our computer we found out about CPR and Tom Hernden's excellent reputation. Tom came out to the house and spent close to 2 hours methodically going through the computer and deleting both viruses and malware. Unfortunately, in the end it was too infected and he ended up having to take the computer with him to "rebuild" it. It did take a few days for us to get the computer back, but when he delivered it he thoroughly went through everything that he had done, what he had installed, and then preceded to make sure that all of our programs and files were complete and as we wanted them. On top of it all, he gave us instructions on how to avoid getting malware into the computer as well as using the anti-virus, anti-malware and spybot programs to hopefully keep this from happening again.
Description of Work: Cleaned out badly infected computer. Added memory. Added protection software.

Tom was very engaging and took the time to fully answer my questions. He offered suggestions that saved me money. When I could not find a data file, he made an extra visit to search my old hard drive until he found the file and transferred it to the Dell.
Description of Work: Tom Hernden came to my house and we discussed the problems I had been having with slow response time on my 2004 computer. He said my computer was short of memory and I needed a more current unit. I ordered a new Dell and wireless keyboard. Tom loaded the software I wanted, He moved the relevant data files from my old unit's hard drive to the Dell, delivered it to me, and tested it with my printer.

Tom responded right away to my initial phone call. He suggested that I purchase a one year old computer instead of upgrading my 9 year old desktop and that is what we did. He gave me a price range of $500 to $600 depending on what he found available and the price turned out in the low part of this range. He was very friendly, knowledgable, and honest and I'd recommend him to others needing computer repairs or upgrades.
Description of Work: He purchased a one-year old Dell Desktop on my behalf, delivered it to my home and transferred all data and programs from my old desktop to the new computer.

This fix went beyond my expectations. Once again, Tom's hard work saved my laptop. He is an absolute miracle worker! He was on time for all visits, and kept me posted on his progress. He explained everything to me and answered all of my questions. He is a true professional. Tom is kind, understanding, and a really nice person. I would highly recommend him to fix computer problems. My cost was far less than I expected for the work done. I will continue to call on him for all my computer needs. I'm beyond happy with his service. HE IS FANTASTIC!
Description of Work: I once again had to contact Tom regarding my computer and its error messages and inability to connect to the internet. I tried everything he had told me to do from previous contacts with him. Nothing worked, so he came to my home and began working on my laptop. There were numerous viruses and assorted problems. Tom ran security checks and all seemed well until he rebooted. There seemed to be something wrong with the operating system. He had to take my computer with him to look at the hard drive, possibly doing a repair or needing to erase and rebuild the hard drive. I was afraid I would lose some things I hadn't backed up -- he reassured me those chances were slim and that he would keep me posted. He phoned to tell me additional security scans did not work and he needed to rebuild the hard drive. A day later he told me it was fixed, that he had saved everything, and would drop it off at my convenience. He installed a couple more programs for me and spent additional time explaining what to do in the future.

My experience with CPR-Repair was wonderful. Computers have always intimidated me, but not with Tom Hernden explaining the simple steps it takes to be safe. I will sing his praises to all my friends and neighbors. Should anything arise in the future, I will be on the phone to him in a minute.
Description of Work: It was easy to reach Tom Hernden by phone and make an appointment to have my laptop checked to see if I had a virus in it. Tom confirmed our appointment by email and arrived promptly. He is very professional with a wonderful gift of being able to explain in English what may have happened to the laptop. I truly have peace of mind that the malware that invaded my email is now gone.

I called Tom on Saturday and he came over Tuesday. When I spoke with him on the phone he took a lot of time with me to find out exactly what was going on. We wanted to save the computer if possible. It had not had much TLC so Tom did many things that had not been done in years, if ever. He ran different programs to clean up the system and because I am pretty much a computer idiot he explained everything in layman's terms. It appears our computer has a new life. Of course, there are no guarantees that at this age it will last a very long time, but with his expertise we are very encouraged with its' new get up and go. Tom was very professional and shared his knowledge willingly (in layman's terms). I would highly recommend him....you really get your money's worth and more.
Description of Work: Our 8 year old Dell computer (actually the tower is 6 years old due to being replaced because of a lightning strike) was running extremely slow....almost to the point of not being usable. Also, the sound was in and out.....mostly out.

Tom is one of the best computer techs I have ever worked with! He worked on two computers with very different hardware configurations and fixed the problems on both. He is very knowledgable and easy to talk to. He replaced a bad power supply on one machine and enabled front USB ports on another machine by connecting the appropriate cables to the correct spots on the motherboard. He also made a few tweaks to my Windows registry to improve performance. We also had an interesting conversation about virus an malware programs. I would definitely call upon Tom again.

I was very pleased by Tom's knowledge, patience, and professionalism. I will certainly use him again. He is going to upgrade the memory in the future. I was very comfortable with Tom and grateful that he was willing to take calls on general knowledge when I was in a bind!
Description of Work: Tom responded very quickly to my call. I was afraid that I had picked up a virus since my computer was running slowly. I was job hunting at the time and did not want anything to interfere with my communication. Tom did a thorough clean up, checked for viruses, spyware, and malware. He deleted programs I no longer used. He also had to be an instructor since most of my computer time has been data entry on a financial system and a litte "surfing the web'. Tom was very helpful and patient and gave me many useful tips. After his visit, I was still having a problem with emailing attachments. There seemed to be no logic to the problem. Tom made a second trip to see me. He went over everything to be certain that he had not missed anything. The problem turned out to be some internal set up item for Outlook that was not evident until the problem was encountered. He found the problem and fixed it. During this time Tom took many calls from me. He was always professional and never seemed like I was an imposition.

As described above, both of Tom's visits were very productive. He had to come back a second time to install the new power supply that he purchased for the computer. The second visit was primarily used to actually install the new part and confirm much of what we had covered on the first visit(a huge help to me). Both visits were very confortable as Tom is a very personable, easy to talk to individual. I would recommend him to anyone. In addition he secured for me a cable for my monitor which was giving me some problems from time to time. The new cable seems to have solved that problem also.
Description of Work: My computer developed a problem with the on/off switch. Sometimes I had a great deal of difficulty getting my computer to turn on. Fortunately for me, I found Tom Hernden/Computer Problem Resolutions on the Angie's List website. I emailed him a problem report on a Frinday, and he responded by email and called me later the same day and we set up an appointment for the following Monday. He came to my home on time for his appointment. I am very happy and satisfied with his visits. While he listened to my problems and investigated the problem, he also shared with me a tremendous amount of information about virus programs, trojan horse programs, and malware programs, etc. He was able to point me to several programs that are actually free that have already been a huge help in cleaning up my computer. He ran several of these programs to clean my computer on his first visit. He was quickly able to discover my level of understanding of my computer and then explain to me what he was doing in a way that I could easily understand. It turns out that, in fact, my computer had a defective power supply so the total fix required two visits by Tom since he had to purchase a new power supply for my model computer and then he came back for another visit for the installation. I am really pleased and relieved to have the computer working like it did before my problem came up.

Tom responded quickly to my inquiry, came over on a Sunday and worked about 2.5 hours.
Description of Work: My computer had picked up malware. Tom installed several different software programs. At first it seemed to be worked but later had the same problems. Tom had been doing research at home and found 2 of the programs (one was my own) were in conflict. Removed it and all seems to be well now.
