“I have used Guru Aid for several months now”

I have used Guru Aid for several months now. They do an excellent job assisting me and fixing my computer when it is slow or has any type of problems. I would be happy to recommend them to anyone that needs help with their computers. They are also very courteous and patient.

I thought I was calling ESET. After letting them have remote access and paying $110, I am finding the next day that a lot of the clean up they said they had done, they did not. They were able to fix my problem with my security, however, I was told it would take 40 minutes and it took over 8 hrs. I actually had to call them back because the tech left me hanging on remote for a long time without doing anything. Once he started working on it again he was finished very quickly. Don't know if I got him in trouble and he skipped over things or what. I even missed a planned event with my Grandchildren because he had told me I needed to stay by the computer. Would not use them again. I could have done most of what he did.

EAGESH was great helping resolve my most pressing computer issues. Everything is working just fine now. I would highly recommend Eagesh to any of my friends and business associates. Thank you so much.

I fell for the " first up" on a google search when trying to reverse a suspicious renewal bill from AVG ( I had told them NOT to renew but got a MAstercard withdrawal anyway.) They politely claimed to fix it for me. At least an hour and a half later, yes, promises were made to refund, new ( it turned out it would have been free) Microsoft protection installed, and clean up/ tune up would be done. They smoothly got $100 U.S. out of me by sharing my computer site and clicking the Pay Now for me and I was caught., as I had provided myMC #. BUT, they did cleanup junk and my computer works better, faster. I realized after the fact that I could have done it all myself for free. Instead I'm out $136 Can. Lesson learned.

I had a problem with Firefox - phoned Guruaid and they sprang into action - taking a reasonable amount of time to put everything right. Also cleaned up my machine - deleting loads of unnecessary programmes. I feel confident that my machine is now working well and to its full capacity. I also feel confident in using them again.

Excellent service. I had some serious problems with my operating system preventing me from downloading Autocad. Issues solved. It must have taken a while to work out the problems, but the technicians kept at it and were always polite and helpful, all four of them! I recomend these guys to everyone.

Tip for consumers:
Just make sure you give the technicians everything they need to know to help you. They want to help you but they need to know what is going on.

I have been with GuruAid for 2 years now. Every time I have called, I receive nothing but courtesy, patience and very knowledgeable technicians. My service today was provided by Bishwajeet Bose where I experienced the same. He accomplished all of what I had hoped. I would recommend GuruAid to anyone who needs a computer technician support. Thank you GuruAid for being there for me!

The service that I received today, much like every time I utilize GuruAid, was very professional and to the point of meeting my needs. The technician was excellent at getting my computer cleaned up and back on-line with my expired Internet Protection from Kaspersky.

I am extremely satisfied with today's service.

I started with Guruaid because I was hacked and wanted to make sure that our computer was clear. Clean and safe again. I have had our computer cleaned twice now and am happy with the reps helping me. I now have my calendar marked so I may have this done once a month at least. I like the fact I can call 24/7 if I need help. Very good.

Am very grateful to GuruAid as they resolved a security problem which for me was very complicated with the minimum of fuss and I was able to understand the requirements needed by the remote technician. I recommended them for other computer illiterates like myself

I have used the services provided by this site on three occasions and have been very satisfied all three times. The staff is patient, polite, and thorough. They have even initiated follow-up to make sure things were okay. My subscription allows me access to them 24 hours a day, seven days a week, so I don't have to disrupt my office or routine to carry my computer to a remote technician. I would recommend them without reservation to anyone. R. Donnell in Florida.

I am very happy with the services of Guruaid. I was offered expert help, by a patient member of Guruaid team. My issues were fixed and my computer is finally emailing properly. It is great that the service is 24/7. Although it took several hours of my time, over a couple of days, sitting at my PC whilst it was fixed, it was worth it as I was unable to get the problems sorted any other way.

Tip for consumers:
You need to be at your PC for a while, but the team are patient,and that was important to me. Be patient with them, while they sort the problems.

I really like this site. They have helped me numerous times to get my computer running fast and efficiently. The techies are polite and patient. Also very knowledgeable. I would normally hesitate to give up control of my computer, but I read reviews and looked at the Better Business Bureau and this company is legit. The customer service rep does a bit of the hard sell with trying to get you to buy a 3-year contract. I started to get annoyed. But I suppose they have to do that and the service you get far outweighs the hassle of the hard sell. I say go with them. Their rates are great too.

I come to GuruAid with an internet access issue. The technician (Sachin) worked his fingers to the bone to get to the bottom of the issue and resolve the problem. It literally took hours of investigating to locate the problem. Not only is proper access regained but the system seems to be a little more friendly (could be subjective). I have a two year contract and will opt for an Elite package at renewal. Great job GuruAid. 5 stars baby!

Our computer was pretty bad and I mean the worse. The people at GuruAid were very patient with my lack of computer software knowledge. I was quite concerned at first because of the cost but in the end it would benefit. After 4/5 hours working on our computer they were able to fix everything! Also any additional problems in the future they will fix.

I was lucky enough to have contact with Fahed Sayed, he was/is a most helpful, thorough and efficient person. He took his time to thoroughly check issues requiring remedy and successfully completed all necessary amendments, updates and re-installations. A good ambassador for Guruaid.

I had three or more infections from a down load from U tube that were attached to the download. Plus a voice came over the computer saying it was Microsoft and to call the
800 number to fix the infections. This was all cleared up by Bishwajaet Bose, my tech at GuruAid quickly and everything is better than back to normal.

Here it is one day after your tech guy cleaned up my computer and I am plague by media player advising me that I'am out of date. Also, more popups that require a lot of energy to remove on my part. Am I a target for some nutcase or is this something I have to live with?

GuruAid is the best. You don't need an appointment with the geek squad. All you have to do is pick up the phone, tell them your problem and they fix it. They are polite, trustworthy and they know what they are doing. I am a 73 year old Grandmother and they can walk me through anything. Moreover, the usually just fix it and I just sit here and look at my computer while they do it. I would recommend that you have no hesitation in signing up with the.
