In 1998 John A. Bang took and interest in malicious software (viruses, trojan horse [backdoor access], intrusive advertising software [spyware/adware]. He frequented Internet technical support web boards and offered free assistance to users who had fallen victim to these malware files. In time he attended Syracuse University to receive various IT certifications and opened the business. First he worked from home and later opened a storefront. Now they are the premier computer service facility in the area and currently have five technicians specializing in several technology fields.

COMPU-TECHS is one of the few computer businesses which began studying and exterminating spyware when there were only a handful of known examples on the Internet. Now, after 11 years, the techs at COMPU-TECHS know how these programs work, where they originate from and where they reside on clients' computers. With no less than 10,000 unknown malicious files circulating on the Internet everyday and a million examples known to the security experts, it's nice to know COMPU-TECHS has more experience chasing and removing viruses and spyware than 99% of the techs anywhere. Combine this with 14 years working with computers and earning certifications from Microsoft, Dell, the Computer Technology Industry of America, Cisco and a host of others IT companies, COMPU-TECHS has more than enough experience to solve any problem.

Sidenote: Over the years, COMPU-TECHS has submitted over 4,000 undiscovered malicious files to various ant-virus software companies so they could update their program detection capabilities. Some of the companies included are Trendmicro (PCCillin), Symantec (Norton Antivirus), Network Associates (McAfee) and Aviratech (AntiVir).

They strive to be better than anyone else. They work harder, sell the finest, most reliable and best supported computers available at the most competitive prices. They are exceptionally experienced with regard to Internet security, user-based software and hardware and have access to some of the best technicians in the business. The one thing they believe in above all else is good service. If they can't fix it, they don't charge for it, and they guarantee the work they do. If there are difficulties after the computer leaves their facility, their customers know they will do whatever is necessary to make things right. After all, they're customers too, and know the value of a dollar and quality service.

COMPU-TECHS initiated the COMPU-TECHS Award for Continuing Academic Achievement. This award grants a new computer to a graduating high school student who has demonstrated outstanding participation and achievement in school and their community, and has enrolled in college to further their education.

Most people remember them by their outstanding service and the fine computers they sell.
