Virtual Service

Many problems encountered by computer users, both business and home users, are problems related to software issues, configuration problems, viruses, spyware, adware, malware, and a host of other issues that are not hardware related.  These problems, in many cases, can be fixed by a technician "Virtually" visiting your computer and fixing the problem.

There are two basic things that need to be present for Virtual Service to take place.  First, the user must have a working internet connection, and second, the user must be willing to allow a technician to enter their computer from the outside. This access is granted when the user downloads and installs a license free software called Virtual Network Computing (VNC).  If VNC is not installed on your computer, or is not activated, then access to your computer by our technician or anyone else is not possible.

Virtual Service is a secure means of fixing and/or troubleshooting your computer without having to make a physical trip to your location.  Below are the basic steps in conducting Virtual Service.

Steps to Perform Virtual Service

Begin Virtual Service

  1. The customer follows a link to a form from which they will provide billing information and also provide their "Digital Signature" guaranteeing that they will pay for the service.
  2. After completing and submitting the form, the customer is directed to printable pages that provide them instructions on downloading and installing VNC.
  3. After installation, the customer provides our technician with the IP address of their computer (in the instructions).
  4. Our technician accesses the customer PC and diagnosis and fixes the problems.  After the problem is fixed, the technician will email an invoice to the customer, and while still having access to the customer PC, will receive the email and print the invoice on the customer printer.
  5. After the invoice is printed, our technician will uninstall the VNC software from the customer PC, delete the VNC set-up file, and then re-start the customer PC.  Service is complete.

Virtual Service is billed at the rate of $45.00 per hour for home or business users.  Most service will take one hour or less, but in the event that service last more than one hour, time over one hour will be broken into 30 minute intervals.

If the Virtual Service Technician was unable to fix the problem, you owe nothing, and an appointment will be made to visit your location should you choose.
