Dublin laptop repair recommendations

    Just wondering if someone could recommend somewhere in Dublin to perform a complete virus scan and removal service and general PC clean for my sister's laptop (Dell). I haven't seen the exact problem myself but she rang the other day and mentioned that a scan had shown up a number of problems, with one worm supposedly targetting credit card details (which she'd just entered online the night before). So she obviously wants a complete scrub - where's reliable?

    Normally I'd help her myself but as I use a Mac, virus/security stuff if my weak point :o

    I usually do it for people but I don't know anyone in Dublin, but it shouldn't be too hard to find someone. (If all else fails, download Malwarebytes antimalware

    and do a complete scan with it, it's a pretty good scanner ;)

    Only reason i replied was to say, please tell her to change all of her passwords (E-mail, Facebook online banking etc.. too many people use the same one for everything...) Especially as she's already used her credit card...

    Don't have any recommendations as I do all stuff like this myself and for mates and family. All I can say it be prepared to pay a crazy amount of money.

    I know if it comes to it, I can just go to her place and get it done myself.

    But if someone knew somewhere, it'd save a bit of pain and give her a bit more peace of mind I'm sure.

    Anyone?

    Hi Brian,

    I don't have anything just right now but may be looking for someone closer to the end of the year. If you want to send me your CV I'll keep you in mind.

    Hi, If your still looking, I used this crowed for Laptop repair, they are based in Dublin and travel onsite. Price was one of the lowest I could find.
