I'm pleased.
March 3, 2015

I had a wonderful experience with Fahed Sayed, the technician who helped me through a horrible experience. Suffice to say, solving computer issues is not my strength. But working with a thoughtful, imaginative and thorough professional like him made a bad situation palatable.
If you ever have a problem, I hope you're lucky enough to find a professional like Fahed Sayed to help you solve it.
I'm very happy and grateful!

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.

Pop-ups are gone!
March 1, 2015

Guru aid cleaned up my computer and got rid of the pop-ups that were keeping me from using the internet. They are always patient with me and my computer, both of which are slow at times.
