I’m taking a class on computer maintenance in highschool, and we have to do these portfolios where we make a fake job resume and other stuff, so the first thing I need to do is find a real job on the internet, but I don’t know what kind to look for that I would need to use computer maintenance skills in.
Suggestions please.

What are a few good online courses for computer maintenance/repair?
CBT Nuggets have some of the best online training period. The have instruction on everything from the CompTIA A+ certification, Programming, Server Administration, Cisco CCNA, CCNP, CCIE training. Great stuff if you’re willing to front the cash for it. You will pass any test if you watch and understand the movie series. Also another good site is Lynda.com
I’m currently in the process of trying to open a small business and trying to figure out what I should describe the category for these skills: Virus and Spyware Removal, Remote Backup, Desktop Cleaning (Inside components, fans, etc), PC tune up (removing junk files, tweaking registry, etc). I’m leaning towards maintenance, as that is what my business is going to be the primary focus on.
Yeah, that’s maintenance.
please could some on names some ways of computer software maintenance and what they do?. eg anti malware packages.
You mean ‘Windows maintenance’ I think.
If you want a maintained computer, you would download and install ubuntu. No malware, No fragmented files, No registry, No spyware, No need to buy a new PC every 3 years.
Oh, and it’s free….
5 stars for the best answer here please 
Trying to prove that by cleaning a computer, it will save a company (????) amount of money by expanding the life expectancy of a computer. Are there any statistic’s for that??
85% of computer failure is user error/ maintenance related. I literally just learned this last night in my senior level Computer Architecture class at Virgina Tech. let me see if i can find a source.
**EDIT** Its seems my memory lapsed. it says over 5 year 95% of costs are maintenance. I do not know where the study is from but i found a link to slides that match the ones my class is taught from. ill keep looking for the external source

I am having data on the excel spreadsheet , but excel is not solving my problem.
Maybe an existing templates from Microsoft Access, or FIlemaker will help?
Writing software will be difficult. You can also look for free inventory management software.

I’ve got a few programs installed on my computer for said reasons, but are they all compatible with each other? Do they conflict in any way that I wouldn’t see? Here they are:
CCleaner
Defraggler
Advanced SystemCare (Pro)
Malwarebytes
SUPERAntiSpyware (Free Edition)
…and FileHippo.com’s Update Checker for keeping up with program updates.
Do any of these conflict with each other?
I use mb, asc pro, sas free, ccleaner, smart defrag from iobit. , smart ram from iobit. and spybot 1.6.2 free .
You are good to go… stay safe
My son who is 29 and has been a plasterer for 10 years is having to give it up because of his wrist keep swelling up, tried lots of different medication but no joy. He wants to get into computer maintenance , although his spelling is not very good but you have spell checker, also he is willing to go to college to learn but because of his age the government wont give any money towards him learning and then they moan about people not working, my son wants to work and start a new career. He done a small course at adult education centre one day a week learning about computers but they only taught him what he already knows, he loves working on computers and it would suit him to do this work. He has no savings , so does anybody no if the adult education do advance courses in this sort of work, we are willing to pay if it is not too much. thank you for your help
If you are on benefits you get help with paying for courses from the Job Centre.
I saved over £600 on a Level 2 Diploma in computer maintenance.
