TRUSTED TO DELIVER

The Internet Is A Dark & Dangerous Place

Anyone who’s been using computers in their work or their daily life knows just how rife with bugs and viruses the internet can be. We strive to protect ourselves with software and trustworthy browsers, but there’s only so much you can do. Sometimes, a virus or malware breaks through your line of defense and renders your computer a finicky and hard to use machine. If you suspect that your computer has been invaded, we can help.

Catching a virus or malware isn’t that hard. There’s a selection of new viruses that are constantly surfacing and adapting, much like viruses of the body. However, in the case of malware, it’s human beings that are adapting it on purpose in order to make it harder for your security to track it and push it away before it can infiltrate your system.

What’s more is that most folks don’t really understand malware or viruses, other than they’re bad for your computer. However, there’s much more nuance to them. And understanding them is key to helping you prevent them in the future. Viruses and malware, as you likely already know, can be installed on your computer when you’re not even aware it’s happening. This virus then functions by inserting malicious code that can monitor and manipulate your online activity with ease.

While some malware or viruses may not seem like too big of a deal and might only cause minor hiccups while you use your computer, they’re very rarely not used for except sinister means. For example, even if it’s not crashing your computer, it may be used to get your personal information and steal your identity or current credit card information. Therefore, there is never a time where you should ignore a potential virus or malware living on your machine.

If you think you’ve been made a victim of a malware or virus infection, reach out to us right away. We can provide a full diagnostic that allows us to find any causes of irregular activity on your machine so that we can pin-point and fix the problem, even if it’s not being caused by any potential malware. Ensure your safety and the safety of your computer and information today. Schedule an appointment with us now.

My 2014 MacBook Pro was stuck yesterday after I used Core Patcher to load Monterey and then Sonoma. Shouldn't have done that. I could not bring up the desktop and felt alone 🙁

I called Pleasanton Computer Repair and brought the machine in. They restored the desktop for only the diagnostic fee! I picked it up today and am attached to it again:)

Very pleasant customer service!!

Ok so I very rarely take the time to leave a review. A business has to really stand out, good or bad, for me to take the time. That being said, I cannot recommend Pleasanton Computer Repair more highly. The GPU fan seized up in my MSI GS65 Stealth Thin 8RF laptop and I brought it in to have it replaced. I needed the repair done quickly since the laptop was my only computer and I had an important video call scheduled a few days later. The work was done quickly. The aftermarket fan that was sourced and rush shipped to accommodate my deadline functionally cooled the GPU, however it made a sound that was loud enough to be heard on the other end of my video call. I brought it back and they replaced the replacement, even installing a new CPU fan, all free of charge, as the fans were purchased as a set. Unfortunately within an hour of use the new CPU fan began making a loud clicking/grinding noise, and the GPU fan for some reason was loudly cycling even when the temperatures were low/moderate! After some back and forth discussing the issue they once again agreed to replace the fans. Third times a charm! The laptop is now cooling efficiently and is running nearly silently at normal temperatures. This laptop was a fairly high end machine when I bought it just a few years ago and I was starting to lose hope that it would ever function this well again. Gabe, Karla and every other employee I encountered through this ordeal were extremely helpful, friendly, and accommodating, even though they had to go back and redo this job multiple times. If you need computer repairs you can trust this company to treat you fairly. I am local, but service like this is worth a drive. Pleasanton Computer Repair is the only computer repair shop I would recommend, and in the future I won't take my business anywhere else.

Mohamed is the best! Went to him months ago to fix my destroyed IPhone screen and add a screen protector and phone protector which is pretty with the bling and butterfly. Came back today to get my husband's Samsung screen replaced plus protector which he fixed in a reasonable amount of time while i looked for another phone protector which he ended up locating the right size and color I wanted. He knows his stuff and is always pleasant to talk to. Definitely will see him when my construction worker husband breaks his next screen lol thanks Mohamed!!!

Very professional work and ethics. My PC just refused to turn on. I took it in on a Monday afternoon and KC signed me in and sent me a full diagnosis in a couple of days. Besides the power supply fubar they also verified that the boot drive is only 8% health. Two days after I got my PC back with new SSD and power supply. They have a good ticketing system that provides the elaboration of the diagnosis and updates on the repair. Very frictionless and very methodical. Super loved this place specially since I am an engineer myself. And best part I get to support a local town business. Highly recommend this place.

This business has been a wonderful find for me. Both my husband & I have used them several times. In 2021 was the 1st time I used them when I tripped over my laptop cord & sent it flying. They were able to get it working & everything was saved! This is why we have both been back. The turnaround is quick also & I feel the rates are good.

I'm going to brag, and I can say with complete confidence that "Pleasanton Computer Repair" is hands down the best computer repair shop out there. A few years back, Gabe worked his magic on my laptop, and it's been running like a dream ever since--fast, accurate, and reliable! I can't thank you enough for your exceptional service, and I'll definitely keep spreading the word about your fantastic company!

I brought in 2 devices for assessment and they were very honest about what was worth fixing. The assessment was very quick and the laptop was fixed in time for a trip.
They were very knowledgeable and extremely organized. We got a quote elsewhere and very glad we went here as the other repair would have taken a couple of weeks and didn't have a clear estimate. We would not hesitate to come back.
