Consider Remote Computer Repair Assistance
More computer repair companies in South Florida and beyond are offering computer repairs by allowing technicians to take over the machine remotely to diagnose the problems.
Take PCLive Instant Online Support, from SecurityCoverage Inc. This is the company's answer to big box retailers and other major computer repair companies, network support providers and other computer services.
The company estimates it is able to solve 95 percent of calls it takes through its instant online support system, according to CNN Money.
Executives at this and other companies hope this strategy will alleviate some of the frustration computer owners feel when they must take machines to Ft. Lauderdale computer repair store, wait in line, wait days for the repair and shell out considerable sums of cash.
With PCLive, around-the-clock remote computer repair service costs $49.95 per session - guaranteed, or a refund is promised.
Remote repair technicians can be reached by phone or through an Internet chat from the company's website, officials say.
This is potentially an important advancement in security, as computers in America were damaged by malicious hackers via the Internet to the tune of $8.43 billion last year, according to some estimates.
The company plans to offer later this year or early next year a premium security product that will include tech support, comprehensive software and a program to optimize computer performance for a nominal fee.
For people seeking Ft. Lauderdale computer repair, it may well be worth considering using a company that offers remote assistance.
