Well, he discovered a few problems with the Windows 7 system, removed viruses, applied all kinds of necessary updates. Because my browser no longer worked correctly, he installed Firefox as an alternative, and imported all of our settings. Now things are working correctly.
Description of Work: David logged in remotely to my system, and helped me set up online services that I had been having problems with.

Excellent, without any problems!
Description of Work: David logged into my Windows 7 machine, We went to the Windows Store on my PC, clicked a few links, and I paid for my own copy of Windows 8 (included it total above). He explained that the introductory rates will expire in January, so I'll let my friends know about this. Within about half an hour, it finished. David had me log in, and re-connect to his machine, where he explained a few vital operations that were different from Windows 7.

We spent a total of two hours with the member, who has limited vision, and need special software to read the screen to him. Care was taken to ensure that all his apps still work the same, including a blood pressure monitoring device that connects to the pc.

I called Dave and needed fast aid because my modem went out and I am an online teacher and had to have computer service. He bought a new router, came by the next day and installed it accodring to my specifications. It worked fine until we accidentally reset it (if your router is not working, unplug it - do NOT reset it). He then had to reprogram in which he did remotely very quickly. All is all a good experience with computer repair.
Description of Work: Dave came to my condo and installed and set up a new router, then had to reprogram it remotely when we accidentally reset it.

The technician (David) was courteous in explaining problem and is intended course of action. He worked quickly and efficiently to implement his plan. The system has worked well since.
Description of Work: David was very professional, arriving at the desk when he was supposed to, with his laptop and tools. The issue was a new Internet Service Provider, and switching over the XBOX, KINECT, WIFI, PRINTER, and Integrated Caller-ID. I had spent a week trying to configure things, and couldn't even get online. David explained that he would be able to do things REMOTELY, which would eliminate the diagnostic fee for an on-site visit. He immediately pointed out an issue with the ROUTER that was the cause of most of my problems. He worked for about 40 minutes, explaining everything that he did, along the way. He even asked me if I was interested, as it took longer to explain the process than it would have been to just do the work (and save me some money). He even resolved an issue that I was having with an Excel 2010 Macro that was driving me nuts... As he was packing up his equipment, he informed me that the charge would be $75 plus the $100 diagnostic fee. We then logged onto his website (www.siokonline.com) where I submitted my billing information, and charged the transaction. I immediately got an email receipt detailing the work performed, along with the transaction billing information (nicely out where desired). He even installed his "Calling Card" application, which allowed me to log in to his system with one click of a button! Asking about his previous report, he gave me a few links, and demo login credentials to his Tracking System. He mentioned something about a "Apps for Chicago Contest", and that this program might help the public if used by the government. I was impressed. David mentioned that Windows 8 would be coming out pretty soon, and that if I wanted to be a BETA tester, I'd be able to get a FREE copy from Microsoft. I will definitely keep in touch with him in the future.

We had hired SIOK Online (David Glienna) to create a customized interface for an SQL database. He took absolutely no notes in regards to our project. For the next few weeks, we provided David with detailed emails outlining what we need. He agreed to have the program up and running in 3 months. Those 3 months came and went. We spent hours discussing problems with the "beta" program he created. During these phone conversations, I asked David if he had taken any notes. He indicated he DOES NOT TAKE NOTES. In addition to phone conversations, there were mutliple emails with detailed errors and bugs with the program. When our office would alert David to an error, he would attempt to fix it. This would then cause other problems. We eventually realized (around September 2010) that SIOK Online was not competent enough with coding to complete the job per our contract. We decided to sever communications with SIOK Online at the end of September. Even though he had not performed the duties set forth in our contract, he was still paid his full $5,000.00 fee. In addition, David Glienna would make multiple phone calls a day to ask for additional money. He threatened to disable our website and even did so to show that he was "still in control." We discovered that when we had given David Glienna the credentials to our host for our website, he had created an additional hidden log in, a "back door" into our website. This company is not only incompetent but also dangerous. Do not let this company into your computer systems or network!! In total we spent $7,500.00 for a broken program. We thought at first that maybe this program may be too difficult to create. We ended up contacting another company in the beginning of 2011 and that company has already completed a different program with a total price of $3,000.00. Updated 3/8/2011 - SIOK Online's response is false. The website www.kallenrs.com is not his program, nor does his database connect to our website. We hired Computer Friendly Associates to complete our website and re-design a front end to our database. David Glienna has threatened to disable our website (which is hosted by a 3rd party) unless we paid him more money, which he has not earned. Mr. Glienna has no authorization to contact our web hosting company as he has already called and attempted through deception to gain access to our account. Once again, I caution anyone to please research this company before this happens to you! 3/9/2011 - SIOK Online does not own the unfinished program he alleges we are still using. We purchased a program called DevExpress, based upon Siok's recommendation, that we were unable to use. Siok was unable to customize the DevEpress program we purchased. We are not using that program. We do not know how to use the DevExpress program and neither does Siok. Siok did not create our website. He merely directed our existing auction link to a new page which has been deactivated since January, 2011.

Description of Work: SIOK Online (David Glienna) was contacted to create a "front end" program for our SQL database.

Overall, mine wasn't a typical case because of a few connection problems with my modem and internet service. This is when it pays to have an expert that can trouble shoot and resolve the problem. David was just that and more. He came onsite within 24 hours of my initial call and continued to offer me tech support online and on the phone untill all my CPU connection problems were resolved.
Description of Work: Established a network for 3 computers and connected all to a wireless router.
