I had a problem today with my E-Mail - wasnt working properly - the GuruAid Technician (Aadesh Takalkar) - spent 3 hours with me - working to fix the problem. He was VERY professional - VERY friendly - and VERY Good - he subsequently fixed my e-mail problem. Not only did he fix the e-mail problem, but, he also went out of his way to check on other virus related issues and resolved them. Outstanding service by an Outstanding company. I highy recommend GuruAid to everyone!

In general I would stay away seriously. They are very dangerous. When I feel better and I have more time I will give you more but after being with them for at least 15 years, I have gone to hell and back.

Was a little unsure of this company which I reached through trying to contact MacAfee! They are quite pushy and liable to do a hard sell, however after a lengthy seven hours with a lovely technician called Naeem Shaikh, we did achieve success on the issues that were causing me problems, so all praise to GuruAid! My only quibble is that I dislike taking on a contract and then being told shortly afterwards that it would be great to upgrade(further expense!) to an elite or premium grade! Annoying- but resist! Poor Naeem was obviously a little upset that that I refused the upgrade, however when he'd settled down a little he was super helpful and supportive! Suspect there is some pressure within the company to sell at all costs! This said, I am delighted with the service I received yesterday! Well done, GuruAid!

I had a new desk top that through my own lack of skills I had really messed up. I thought I was calling McAfee, but got GuruAid. When I realized they were going to try to sell me something I became skeptical and almost hung up. If I knew more about computers I'm sure I may have been able to dig my way out, but I don't, so I stayed with them. The technicians were very patient and worked for 4 hours and now my computer is faster and better than when I hooked it up. Time will tell, but if they perform as they say, it's worth $10.00 a month to not worry about software issues. I have read the negative reviews and will be watchful, but so far I'm very happy with the service I received.

Nilesh sawant - was very thorough and helpful in resolving the issues with my Laptop. Thank you.

Tip for consumers:
Allow time, as the process involves sitting by the computer, but very cost effective and helpful as the computer does not have to be sent externally for a clean up and repair.

I could not get windows ten to install avast internet after Microsoft had had uninstalled it to fix a problem with no start menu or catana not working. I tried to install avast the next day but would not, so I went to avast website to download the licence again but no way could I get it working.
I phoned guruaid and they had it installed soon as well as tuning up my computer.

Had a lot of slow problems, couldn't open attachments on e-mail, many files that didn't belong on the computer (don't know where they came from?) Had a very good tech, Vishal, who cleared all of those problems while I waited.

I called GuruAid for Tech Assistance. The agent Kiran K was very courteous and knowledgeable and was able to resolve the issue efficiently. The only negative He was plugging renewing my subscription. Overall Good help
