hello guys,
i've been performing pc maintenance at my high school.
adaware/spybot/spywareblaster/reg supreme/internet washer/avg; all freeware.
it seems that i've done a pretty good job cause my school asked me to build 2 pc's for them, which i did and everythings going smooth.
#1. here's my inquiry, now i have alot of the admin/teachers at my school that want me to fix their home pc's. preferrably doing so without a reformat.
what equipment will i need?
i was thinking -
laptop
external hdd or thumbdrive?
is there anything else?
also proper ways to do backups and what i should back up? like their desktop, outlook etc(i don't know how to do this).
#2. since i will be paid is it illegal for me to use the freeware above?
i wanted to follow suggestions many of you use so i can increase my chances of a successful repair.
i did do a search and methods were posted but not the procedure to do it? for example can i load adaware, spybot etc to an external hdd and update to keep it current, then hook it up to the varios pc's i repair/troubleshoot?
i'm a newb and for most of you this is elementary but i'm somewhat paranoid of doing something incorrectly.
thanks,
eddie
