FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What can be handled remotely?

Many software, email, browser, update and configuration issues can be handled remotely. Some printer-driver problems also qualify. Broken components, cabling, power problems and physical installation generally require on-site assistance.

Does my computer need internet access?

Yes. A stable working connection and a computer that can start are normally required. If the problem prevents internet access, call to discuss whether basic connection checks or an on-site visit are more suitable.

How do I approve or end a remote session?

The technician explains the connection steps and you approve access. You can watch the work and end the connection at any time. Ask the technician to explain the disconnect control before the session starts.

What remote-support software is used?

Confirm the specific tool with us when scheduling; do not install software from an unsolicited caller or pop-up. Use connection instructions obtained through our verified contact details and ask about removing or disabling access afterward.

What is the remote rate and minimum?

Remote support is $100 per hour, with a one-hour minimum prepaid. Discuss the issue and confirm that remote assistance is appropriate before booking. Ask how any further time will be approved before work continues.

How should I prepare for a private remote session?

Close sensitive documents and unrelated applications, save your work and keep a backup. Enter passwords yourself where possible and do not send them by email. Ask what access is needed and pause the session if you have concerns.
