I can hardly get into what I want because of the junk that has gotten into my computer overnight without my knowledge or permission. The net has some real problems with privacy. The sales pitches jump up and get in the way of whatever you are trying to do. Also, there are so many popups that make it difficult to work on line. The enternet is a wonderful tool for research, but the other sites trying to get in are a real distraction to one's work. I am wondering if it is a mistake to leave my computer on overnight as has been advised by those who should know. It all sounds so easy, but the real enemy to our home computers is the invasion from the net.

Ill admit we DO overcharge tho. I used to work on computer repair by my own... but ppl like to pay for expensive services. Its sad to know, but yes, it is true. Most GS agents are plain posers....

That tool is called MRI, built from scratch by Geek Squad Agents. CC's firedog has permission to use MRI tho.. Geek Squad's just as good or bad as any other computer repair service. There are good agents and there are bad agents; unfortunately. And if you take your pc to a service center and for any given reason, youre not happy with the service, youll take it elsewhere. So there, no wonder why GS never got pcs with a firedog system installed... theyve got no such thing. Its all Geek Squad. GS DOES overcharge in the states tho. I am a geek squad agent, CIA Sr. (formerly Double Agent); in Mexico City. 129 USDs for OS Install.. thats about $1,800 mexican pesos. Here, we charge $549 pesos (tax included) for reinstalling an OS. (Thats around 39 usd). Greetings. Did you know (1) Firedog "Agents" use the same tool that Geek Squad Agents?

However, I am completing my IT certification in a few months, so asking about Geek Squad hiring as a summer intern might not be such a bad idea. How much would it be realistic to expect the Geek Squad to pay its summer interns? Given the state of the economy, asking about the Geek Squad might be a purely academic experience.
