After problems with my computer system Kaspersky's Guruaid technical team quickly resolved all the problems. They were very polite and took over my computer remotely and explained exactly what they were doing at every step which gave me a great deal of confidence in there expertise. Well done the technical team best regards Paul Wass.
Prasad Shetty was extremely helpful, patient and all round clever chap.He helped me repair my computer to an excellent condition.
Well what can i say apart from what i have said before Guru Aid are very helful do what they say. Don't believe what people say they are not scam merchants they do the job that they say they do, they have cleaned and clarified any problems on my computer and also my husband in total their service is excellent and would recommend them to everyone. They are very professional and even though it may take up to 4 hours to work on your computer you can sit back and watch the professionals do the work right in front of your eyes and if you feel uncomfortable you can disconnect at any time without worrying, they will only do the job you are asking them to do total satisfaction 5 stars all the way.
Extremely annoyed at the service I received by Ashref Khan. He was not giving me the time to speak. He was speaking over myself. Would not give me a refund for the auto enrolment for £59.99 unless I paid £50 for his service. Then, what is the point? I could have got it fixed for free then call back to get a different macaffee program. All I wanted at the end of the call was a refund for that automatic charge then use a different program afterwards. Due to the poor customer service, I will never re-use a Macaffee product! He was also unable to give me an Macaffee phone or e-mail. As a third party system, surely you have Macaffee's contact details. Otherwise, how do you contact them? Unacceptable! Was a costumer for 2 years, I will never renew again. Luckly, I spoke to Jane from Macaffee who was then listening to my request and efficiently made a refund.
The technicians are very courteous an d knowledgable. Will recommend guruaid to anyone looking for help. Well worth the cost!
It was a good experience when I watched and helped my friend fix my computer and get out all the kinks. Very happy
What more can I say than Thank You to you and your team, for fixing my problem in double quick time I will be in touch in January for a further update.

I always get very reliable help from Guraid. This session and other sessions have always resolved my problems to my satisfaction.
Prashanth Shetty is a six+ star employee and it has been a pleasure to work with him.
Mr. Prasad Shetty from GuruAid was wonderful. He was very efficient, kind and extremely patient. He resolved all my problems with knowledge and kindness. Thank you Mr. Shetty :)
This has been a nightmare. They lost several of my programs and finally called Dell and they discovered 63 viruses on my computer. I am calling my credit card company today and disputing the charge. Stay away! To bad the computer allows sites like this. They are scams.
Thank you guruaid for helping me get my computer running faster. Your service was right on target.
It was awesome working with Guruaid. They were wonderful patient and resolved all the issues that i had. Need to appreciate Rajesh who helped me. An absolute 5 stars for these guys.
I found these guys very helpful and very patient with my and spent a whole day "servicing" my computer. I paid a year's subscription in August but forgot to ask them for remote access in September.
I have this morning sent my phone number and details to them for help as my computer keeps freezing so I will update this later to let you know if they have contacted me to uphold their end of the contract.
The guru team are all very helpfull and take the time to resolve my PC problems with there experts, it was just a shame it took so long
The experience is never fun when your computer isn't working, but it was resolved to my satisfaction
Answer: Guru Aid is not a scam. I have them clean and tune up my computer about every 4 to 6 weeks. It does take a couple of hours and you have to sit in front of your computer but you can see them doing the work. They keep my computer virus free and running much better. I've been impressed with their technicians. GuruAid gets thumbs up from me!
