   It really isn’t as complicated as you think. About the only software they use is virus/spyware protection and registry cleaners. If these both fail then they would go in and edit the registry manually or do a reformat and a clean install of the os. NOw if the problem is hardware they usually just replace the part that is failing rather than fix it just like a mechanic would. I hope this helps ya.

   Here is list of software i use when fixing a computer.

   Webroot Spysweeper with Anti virus- $50/year
   CClean- Free

   I myself am studying to become one of these ‘computer repair Tech’ people. here is a list of tools i would use to fix a computer.

   Windows boot/recovery discs (related to the version of windows in question)(having boot disc can fix most start up problems)

   Acronis (good for making back ups and images of computers)

   Hiren’s Boot CD 10 (lots of useful tools on this CD for checking harware and repairing hardrives. even has a Mini XP which loads into the ram so you can access your files with out formating the Hardrive)

   Ubuntu (bootable form CD same effect as mini XP)

   Norton Ghost (good for backups and imaging)

   Xenocode Virtual Application Studio (great for making portable applications can really help if you need apps fast makes em ready to go with no install)

   Those are all the software i have used in lerning my skills but some other useful tools to have would be:

   Password cracker like brute force
   Data recovery tool
   Registry cleaner
   Some powerful virus removal tool.
