Technician Profile
Jeff Threlfall
“I purchased my first Windows PC in 1987 and by 2004, I could see the potential for growth in tech support generally. I gained my Diploma in Information Technology in 2005. I then started PC Sanity in 2006 especially because I found there was a lack of support for novice and mature-age computer users. As a mature-age technician, I found that most computer technicians didn’t and still don’t provide patient, honest advice with old-fashioned personalized service or use plain-language instead of geek speak. I am extremely patient and very understanding even with complete newbies and I’m well known for that attribute.”
Our Difference
PC Sanity has been in business since 2006. We concentrate on the quality of service provided rather than the quantity of customers served. As we have low overheads and our profit margins are low, our prices are very competitive with the big shops. We always provide honest advice and prompt, reliable and affordable repairs. Jeff is a mature-age technician and as such treats all customers with respect and personally handles all repairs and communications.
Personal Service
We offer a high level of "old-fashioned" personal service most computer repair companies don't. Being a mature technician, Jeff will treat you with respect even if you are a complete novice. We give plain English explanations.
Honest & Reliable
We provide user-friendly, honest and reliable computer repair, maintenance, support, upgrades, troubleshooting, networking, security services in a timely manner at a very reasonable price. Our new PCs & notebooks are very competively priced.
Inclusions
When we supply you a PC or notebook, we provide System Setup included in the quoted price:
- finalise the (pre-installed) Windows setup
- install all critical/important Windows Updates
- install latest Adobe Reader, uninstall trial programs
- disable unnecessary Startup entries (makes your computer load Windows faster)
- plus more

Social Updates
PC Sanity Facebook Page (for IT alerts, tips and humour)
ALERT! Fake extension crashes browsers to trick users into infecting themselves:
It was in the official Chrome Web Store under the name “NexShield – Advanced Web Protection.” If you have it, remove it ASAP!
If users install the browser extension, it phones home to nexsnield[.]com (note the misspelling) to track installs, updates, and uninstalls. The extension uses Chrome’s built-in Alarms API (application programming interface) to wait 60 minutes before starting its malicious behavior. This delay makes it less likely that users will immediately connect the dots between the installation and the following crash.
After that pause, the extension starts a denial-of-service loop that repeatedly opens chrome.runtime port connections, exhausting the device’s resources until the browser becomes unresponsive and crashes.
After restarting the browser, users see a pop-up telling them the browser stopped abnormally—which is true but not unexpected— and offering instructions on how to prevent it from happening in the future. It presents the user with the now classic instructions to open Win+R, press Ctrl+V, and hit Enter to “fix” the problem. This is the typical ClickFix behavior. The extension has already placed a malicious PowerShell or cmd command on the clipboard. By following the instructions, the user executes that malicious command and effectively infects their own computer.

A fake ad blocker crashes your browser, then uses ClickFix tricks to make you run the malware yourself.0 CommentsComment on Facebook
