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.

N

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.

N

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.

N

Fast Turnaround Time

For in-workshop jobs, our turn-around time is very short. Most jobs are completed within one or two days.

We send you a courtesy email afterwards to follow-up on your computer service/repair.

Fake CAPTCHA pages are tricking users into installing malware:
Similar to another CAPTCHA attack from last year, users are prompted to press the Windows key + R shortcut (which launches the Windows Run prompt), followed by Ctrl + V (which pastes a malicious command into the Run prompt), and then Enter (which runs the malicious command).

What ends up happening is that the fake CAPTCHA page loads a PowerShell command into your Windows clipboard, which is then executed when you follow the instructions. That PowerShell command downloads malware without you noticing.

This new attack can be used to access login information for web browsers, Outlook, Steam accounts, and cryptocurrency wallets, among other things.

Hi Jeff

Thanks for the follow-up!

Just to confirm that I am very happy with the computer & your service in setting things up.

At this stage all is OK & I do not have any questions.
Ian
over the years i have bought two desktop computers from PC Sanity and i have found Jeff goes out of his way to make sure he understands my needs. then he gives as much time as needed to explain to me the ins and outs of my new purchase. The costs seemed fair and reasonable with the PC lasting for years till i decided to upgrade.
Tassy Borne
Just wanted to say a sincere Thank You for your help & fix-up suggestions with my PC. It seems to have speeded things up and running a lot smoother now. I couldnt figure out what the problem was. The registry clean-up helped too as it seems a lot more stable now. I totally recommend Jeffs services should anyone need any PC help. It’s good to know we have someone we can turn to.

Jeff I’ll definitely keep you in mind if I’m shopping around for a new PC mate.
Luke
Jeff is brilliant at his work and responsive. Apart from providing me with hardware and software, he recently guided me through a particular software issue I had - at no charge ! Jeff has also provided some of my friends in regional and remote areas with on-line support and they now source all their hardware etc. from him.
Chris Hall
Jeff at PC Sanity has been very helpful with all our computer needs and questions. Because he is local you can expect quick and friendly service.
Sammy Jane

I cannot speak highly enough about the attention to detail given to me by PC Sanity in sourcing a notebook computer for me for my particular requirements. A wonderful personal service not often found in business. I am delighted with the computer.
I've now made this 5 stars for excellent purchase and service, which is the rating I intended to leave initially.
Lucy Davis-Benzoni
I highly recommend pc sanity and Jeff. We can speak any higher of Jeff. He has been absolutely amazing in helping us with our computer problems. If you have any needs for computers, give Jeff a call or email.
