Of course we work on apple computers! It’s nearly 25% of our business. iMac, Mac Pro, Macbooks, Pro, Air, and everything in between. Believe it or not,PCs and Mac use nearly identical hardware. The main difference between them is the proprietary software that Macs run. However, they use the same chips, hard drives, graphics cards, memory, and more! That means we have hardware and upgrade accessories in stock.
But hardware is only half of it, we stock most of the popular software for apple computers, as well. From operating systems to productivity suites, we have what you need to make your Mac run like a champ. We have all versions of Mac OSX, such as 10.4 Tiger, 10.5 Leopard, 10.6 Snow Leopard, and the new 10.7 Lion. And of course, iLife for your entertainment suite, and iWork for productivity. Let us make your Mac worth your money.
With the overwhelming amount of viruses on the internet these days, chances are your computer or laptop has been infected with some type of virus or spyware at some point in time. In fact, in the US, a new virus is created every 6 seconds, and on average, over 20% of computers in current use are currently infected with malware at any given time. With scary facts like those, Pinellas Computers is proud to offer the most affordable virus removal prices in Pinellas county.
We have found some competitors are charging as much as $200 or more to remove viruses, spyware, adware, malware, trojans, worms, or scareware from consumer PCs! Seriously? That’s around half the cost of a brand new computer! Don’t fall victim to other’s outrageous pricing. Most viruses require about 1-2 hours of labor (if the tech knows what they’re doing). Don’t pay $100/hr for a geek, hire a professional for a fraction of the cost.

If your Mac isn’t running Mac OSX Lion, it’s not running the world’s most advanced operating system. OSX 10.7 “Lion” brings over 250 new features including new Multi-Touch Gestures, Full-Screen Apps, Mission Control, the Mac App Store, LaunchPad, Resume, AutoSave, AirDrop, and more.
The transition to the new operating system is reasonably easy, however the install and configuration work is a bit more difficult. Pinellas Computers can take care of that hassle and have you up and running in no time! We can get your Mac upgraded and have your computer back to you in the same day.
Pinellas Computers has all versions of Mac OSX in stock, including OSX 10.7 Lion. If your Mac can run OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard, than it is likely capable of running Lion. Stop in today and get updated!
After the continued outbreak of rogue antivirus programs and fake antispyware scanners, Tampa Bay’s 10 News speaks with computer expert Ryan Malize; owner of Pinellas Computers, LLC in Seminole. Janie Porter reports on the new “super viruses” that take online computer deception to a whole new level.
Has a so called “protection program” or “repair tool” poped up on your computer screen, and now you can’t do anything? Is it limiting access to your email, internet, and other programs? This likely means that you have been infected with a new form of virus called scareware. These programs look convincing, and trick you into thinking that your computer is actually infected with a real virus. In fact, there is likely nothing wrong.
These hackers make money by offering to fix/cure/repair the so-called problems, errors, and infections on your computer. So, what happens if you pay for their clean-up or removal service? Nothing. Your computer will still remain infected with the fake scanning program, and you may potentially have your credit card details or identity compromised by the internet theives.
New fake programs like this come out everyday. And worse, they keep changing, renaming, and adapting to the fixes that are applied. So, how do you keep safe? Make sure you have updated internet security software that can help actively protect your computer from these infections ever infiltrating in the first place. Thousands of people are getting infected with these viruses everyday.
If you already have been hit by a virus such as this, don’t panic. Pinellas Computers offers one of the most cheapest virus removal services in the county. Unlike Staples and BestBuy (who charge $199-299), Pinellas Computers offers all virus removal services for just $49. We got you covered.
