America Geeks

A friend of mine used this service to fix their computer. She did not know if she did the right thing and brought it to me to check out. I run Malewarbytes and Comodo Anit-virus. Both come back clean...

Hi Ricky,

 

All I could find on America Geeks:

Been in business since 2010

Hosted by GoDaddy and likely paying for SEO

(strangely) NO listing with better business - unless I did not look hard enough.

Based out of CA but uses independent contractors.

All in all idk.

Like Gabe suggested, and if you find no malware then I would suppose they're legit.

    Need to be careful with stuff like this.

    Computer might be clean of malware/viruses, but they could have stolen personal information.

      Uh oh. I wanted to uninstall this to be safe. However it is apparantly hidden. It is not a visible program that can be un-installed. Gonna run the suggested 2 Microsoft programs above.
