While I waited, Don wired it up, connected it on line and I demonstrated its unusual activity. He had never seen this before but after some investigation he speculated that rather than a virus it must be an adware program that was loaded onto my computer by some other recent intentional software addition. He checked over all recent software additions and found one which couldn't be explained. He researched it on line and found others had similar problems as I was experiencing. He removed that software and my problem disappeared. Wow, what a relief! When he was done he refused to take any payment because he never ran any virus software or reformatted my hard drive. I must note that Don was alone and his attention to my problem was interrupted several times with other customers. But I was in and out within an hour and a half or so whereas others had estimated I would have to leave it in their shop a week or two.I have been a long time supporter of Goodwill but never realized how valuable of a computer resource they are. I'll never make that mistake again, and I highly recommend them to others.
Description of Work: A problem developed with my computer. It began inserting dubious ads on many websites I visited, but not by that site. I knew something was wrong because many of those pages typically never displayed ads in the past. Also, the proper page would initially open, but after a second or two the page was reformatted and ads appeared on the right and bottom areas. I scanned my computer with Norton anti-virus and their super-duty version numerous times but they never detected a problem. After much frustration I began doing some research into which companies might be able to help me, and even called a couple to set-up a visit. Then I remembered Goodwill had a computer store in their Carson St. store because I had donated my old computers there in the past and they seemed to know what they were doing. So I called them and they told me to bring down the computer and they would look at it, and gave me a cost to fully reformat it if it was deeply infected and determined that's what it needed. They weren't too busy at that time so I unplugged my desktop and took it down to their shop.
