Remote Support
How it Works
By using remote support, the technician can access your
computer over the internet, see on his monitor whatever is on your monitor, and
use his keyboard and mouse to control your computer as if he were sitting in
front of it.
When the session has
ended, the technician cannot access or control your computer until you start a
new session. Communication between the computers is via a secure, encrypted
connection so privacy and security are assured.
Procedure - Call us (613-592-8485) to discuss the problem and

the problem
| Note: Some particularly nasty
viruses and malware cannot be fully removed using remote support and may require
an on-site visit or that you bring the computer to our shop to complete the
repair, for an additional fee. |
Cost

cover the additional administration, processing and transfer costs.
