Guruaid is the best thing that could happen to my computer. The staff is very knowledgeable and patient over the 2 days it took to clean up my system ( cause it was that messed up) they are total pros at what they do. I recommend them on all my computer needs. They took from 15 mb of free space on my hard disk to 395 GB of free space (wow)

My computer had a virus that locked it around 2 to 5 minutes when I start surfing. After many attempts to make it work unsuccessfully I reached out to Guru aid and everybody on the chain was just great and patient.It looked like a computer lesson and they showed patience and professionalism all the way. For the price we pay to get all the computer in the house covered I absolutely recommend Guruaid. Believe me they are very good cause i thought my computer was done and they revived it now with a faster speed and virus-free

I have used the services of Guruaid for several years now and they have kept my computer running well and clean up unused and unnecessary programs. Today's service went well and my computer was cleaned up quickly.
