You may want to start out by fixing computers for your friends and family. You'll be able to get some testimonials from them which will help out your sales (especially if you're in a small town). Word of mouth should spread your service around so eventually people will consult you rather than the competing computer business in town. You could advertise in the local paper / craigslist that you offer a cheap computer repair, malware removal, optimisation, etc. service. Decide what your time is worth for you, and offer a competitive price to what the computer shop charges.
Make sure you check to see whether this kind of business is legal in your area. I'm an Australian, and we encourage our young people to work. However, it may be different where you live.
