Startup Idea: Automated Modular PC Cleaning Software Platform
I have worked in various tech shops repairing and building computers. The single largest source of income for whatever shop I worked in was software repair (usually viruses etc.). I have worked in these enviornments for years for a single guy all the way to Fortune 500 hi-tech retail companies.
One huge advantage a couple of the large companies I had worked for was having a software program that automatically ran various utilities and anti virus programs to "scrub clean" computers which would free up employees like me to do other things. Start the program, let it run x hours and see the results. One company "scrubbed" computers with 6 different anti virus programs and 4 different disk utility programs.
That being said, here's my idea: Make a modular platform that can remove easily various "cleaning" programs for a particular situation. Have a GUI interface, with a clean add/remove or drop in drop out of programs from a master list. Run as many or as few as you want. Then hit start and let your program run the other programs until completion with detailed analysis crank out what was found / not found / completed / not completed. etc.
So i'm not saying make cleaning software, i'm saying make a modular platform to run what you want and let it work automatically. On top of that, make it affordable and easy to use for the small company / independent user.
Hope this is a good idea and good luck. I have searched years ago for programs like this but what I found then was insanely expensive. I think you could make an easy to use, modular, up-gradable interface that's not obscenely expensive (high hundreds / thousands of dollars).
