Having received a hoax call regarding my PC I contacted Guruaid., It was a most pleasant experience, especially dealing with your tech, Sagar Gharge. He immediately assured me that the issues would be resolved efficently, which they were. He was very pleasant to deal with, professional and efficient. It was a very nice transaction! My thanks to Sagar.

Used services following a scam call from "Microsoft" techies. Not being particularly technically minded. I used Guruaid to put my mind at rest & put some security measures in place.
Very helpful & hopefully all the problems are sorted.
Would definitely recommend to the less technically gifted.

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.

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.

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!.

Called to have my Avast Sofware installed on my new computer and computer tech inspected my computer thoroughly and detected errors in configurations and settings. After fixing some errors, another tech took over and took charge of the other errors and isues my brand new computer had. Guruaid went far beyond what I expected... far beyond what I originally called for. I'm a very happy customer!

A Computer in Need
April 1, 2015

I had pop-up coming up to the point I could use my computer, they were so bad that I couldn't even shut down my computer. Thanks to Guruaid they were able to access my compter from a phone call, after several hours of work all my pop-up were gone and a good cleaning my computer is running as if it were new. Thanks Guruaid for a job well done. I would recomend there service to anyone, it's a peace of mind we all need, thanks again..
