“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.

“Very questionable!”

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.

I've used GuruAid for several years now and they always get my computer fixed up and running well again. I'm not techie at all and with this service you don't need to be techie, just in front of the computer. I will say that you need to plan to be home for at least 1.5 hours though, as it's not a quick proceedure.

Very helpful with problems on computer and very quick to fix it. Glad we can just pick up the phone and get it sorted. It takes the stress out of your hands if you have any problems. We are not all computer wiz kids and you can do so much damage if you delete the wrong programes etc. Glad that I have joined GuruAid

If it's trouble setting up your computer to get the best out of it, cleaning up your unit, just getting it to do what it should do, this is the site you need, they will cover ALL the things you need. Used them with a contract that I signed up to for three years and have now done it again with the same thought in mind, I just want a company I can trust and this one fits that bill, use with confidence!.

Today was my first experience with Guru and I was not disappointed. I'm glad I decided to give them a call. The Technical support teams were wonderful and I will call on them whenever I have a problem.

Tip for consumers:
Don't hesitate to call, you wouldn't regret it.

This was the worst customer experience I have ever had. For starters I could barely understand Faisal (the man I spoke with) due to a thick accent. He was very impatient, told me that he had wasted his time in helping me, and was reluctant to get my computer back to the way that it was when we first started. I had to ask him to restore my computer to it's original state 5 times before he finally restored it to the way it was. I kept asking him to stop the fluff and get to the point, 75 minutes later he told me it would be a charge of $120 bucks. The only catch is that before installing MacAfee there wasn't an issue on my computer. Terrible customer experience. I would never go back to them and I'm reluctant to use MacAfee again if they use this kind of service organization to handle their support.

I am 70 years old. I don't know a lot about computers, so I am very happy to have GuruAid. They are very patience with me and take care of my computer every time I call. The whole staff are great and reliable. I trust their knowledge and expertise with my computer and I recommend GuruAid to anyone with a computer

Called AVAST for technical support. Operator answered stating 'Guru AID'. I asked if this was Avast and they said they could help. Unfortunately allowed them access to computer. After an hour they hit me with charges to clean up computer. I said no, all I wanted was the Avast fixed. They continued to try and I again said I would not purchase their package, I purchased Avast for two years and they should fix the problem free. Then obtained phone number for Avast and they fixed the problem with Avast on my computer. It sounds like they now have all of the information I had on my computer. What a SCAM.

Bishwajeet Bose (bbose) was just great today in helping me solve a problem. It is such a pleasure to have him help me. He was very polite and business like. I can't thank him enough for a job well done.

Had a lot of slow problems, couldn't open attachments on e-mail, many files that didn't belong on the computer (don't know where they came from?) Had a very good tech, Vishal, who cleared all of those problems while I waited.

I got through to an expert technician today, without delay. This is the second time that I have been assisted by Sachin Kulhari on Guru aid and I am very pleased with his help. I was also connected to him very quickly, so there was not a lot of wasted time

I have received friendly and helpful service from the Guruaid Techs and this means a lot to me as I have only minimal understanding of how my computer works. But, I want it to work when I use it and do not like to fight with problems. I depend on the techs to do this for me, and they do a patient and helpful job. I am grateful to Guruaid. I will recommend their service to struggling users.

Tip for consumers:
Do not let just anyone take over control of your computer. Call reputable technicians instead, like Guruaid.
