Is your software
safe?
Yes, it's completely safe. Because the software installed
on your computer calls our technician's computer, there
is no way a hacker can attack your computer while our tech
is repairing it. Furthermore, all transmissions between
your computer and our tech's computer are encrypted using
256 SSL encryption.
Once I install your
software, will you be able to access my computer anytime?
Absolutely not! Your privacy is very important to us. While
we are fixing your computer, you'll be able to see everything
that we are doing as if we were there. And once the Technician
disconnects from the session, our software is automatically
uninstalled and completely removed making it impossible
for us to connect back to your computer without you beginning
another session and reinstalling our software. At all times
you remain in complete control of your mouse and keyboard
and have the option of disconnecting a technician immediately.
Will you be able
to access my files without my knowledge?
No! You will be able to see everything we see and do. As
mentioned above, once we are finished the software will
automatically uninstall itself making the ability of your
computer requesting help from our technician impossible
without you beginning another session and reinstalling our
software.
I'm skeptical. What
if you can't resolve my problem?
The concept of having your computer fixed remotely is new
to home users, although many corporate IT departments have
been doing this for years. The fact is that there are only
a few types of problems we cannot fix remotely. If we are
unable to resolve your problem, you will not be charged.
I have a firewall.
Will I have to turn it off?
No. We wouldn't want you to compromise your computer's protection.
This is precisely why our software installed on your computer
calls us. This way, you never have to configure and compromise
your firewall. Some firewall software however will ask you
to permit our software to access the Internet (and call
us). This is ok, and is just like allowing Internet Explorer
to access the Internet. In some cases your firewall software
may be part of the problems. In these cases, we'll have
you temporarily run your computer with your firewall software
disabled.
I'm using a dial-up
connection. Can you still help me?
Yes. Our software is designed to maximize connectivity with
minimal bandwidth. In rare cases, if your connection is
too slow or you are using a satellite system we will likely
experience too much delay to be able to provide service.
If you think your connection is too slow, we are always
happy to try and see how it goes.
