Show Notes

  • Virus removals can be tricky, not always as easy as one would think. Although the general hiding spots can be helpful, they aren’t always the only place where viruses hide, and sometimes require more work and time to find and remove them.
  • Crappy antivirus programs like Norton and McAfee, like free antivirus software, are not always the easiest to uninstall and do not always detect viruses.
  • Ideal to talk to client about purchasing GFI monitoring and virus removal to protect them better and long term.
  • Virus removal jobs only pay to remove the virus. This does NOT include repairs to programs and documents that have been damaged by virus and other malware infections.
  • Malwarebytes update is bad.
    • Black screens the system after a crash.
    • Fix found! Must download a “fresh” version of Malwarebytes and install.

  • Change your interview to change your calls. Asking the right questions can lead the call in a different direction, and could lead to a product upsell.
  • Windows 8 upgrade to Windows 8.1=Vista’s “ugly cousin”?
    • Causing refresh and other problems.
  • Passwords
    • Password resets
    • Clients never remember their passwords, and have too many. It is not uncommon to receive a phone call that is just for directions on how to get into their account, reset passwords, etc. Not knowing client passwords can also create other problems when doing other jobs.
  • Quick question calls
    • Should be billed if not a simple yes or no to answer the question.
    • In some cases, a system restore can fix the problem. This serves as a first line of defense.
    • Windows Support Team phone calls to clients have been proven to be scam phone calls.
      • Taking money from clients to “fix” problems in their computers. Call to offer refunds to likely gain access to their bank accounts at a later date to take out money. — Scams.
  • Office 2010 free trials.
  • Prepay Tickets
    • Sells blocks of time to regular customers and businesses to provide them with more support and long term savings.
      • Four or eight hour blocks of time on a prepay ticket.
      • Puts them into a “premium client” club, gives them the rights to ask questions and get advice for free, text messaging, emails, and more that other clients might not get.
      • Good clients buy prepay tickets.
