Remote IT Support

At Your PCMD, we can provide remote support to all our clients no matter where they're located. If your computer is turned on and connected to the internet, we can help you without having a technician pay you a visit. And don't worry, we can't login without your permission!

Get remote IT support today

Is you’re time limited? Have a deadline? Value your privacy? Or perhaps a visit from an onsite technician is simply impractical. Whatever the reason, our remote support service is perfect for getting small problems resolved such as removing a virus, configuring software, troubleshooting printer problems, figuring out why your PC is running SLLLOOOWWW, or if you've purchased a new PC and would like help configuring it.

Remote IT support is surprisingly effective, and can turn days of back-and-forth emails &/or phone calls into a quick-fix. During your appointment, one of our qualified technicians will connect to your desktop or laptop using a program called Remotely, hosted on our own in-house server and requires no installation. This allows us remote control of your device while also allowing you to see what we're doing at all times.

Frequent Questions

How secure is remote servicing?

All communications between us and you are encrypted. All sessions are initiated by and completely under your control – you choose what level of control we have and can stop the session at any time. No software is installed on your machine – the software is downloaded to allow us to access your machine, and is unaccessable to us after each session. We cannot access your machine without you initiating the software.

What software do I need?

Our software is a small download, and will be ready usually within 30 seconds of an accepted session request. You don't need to have special permissions on your machine to enable the software to run, and it's compatible with most firewalls and routers, so there shouldn't be any complex configuration required. Download our Remote Assistant software for Windows.

What internet speed do I need?

While a broadband internet connection is preferable, it is still available to users on a low bandwidth DSL internet connection. Our system works on any connection. DSL/Modem &/or Router, Broadband, Wireless, Fiberline, and even within most corporate networks.

Do you provide support to businesses?

Absolutly, and in most cases, we're able to connect to your computer system even if you're behind a corporate firewall. While our remote PC support services are available mainly to business clients, we also provide the service for residential customers.

Can you always connect to my computer?

Absolutly not! You control the connection software which connects your PC with our technician. When the support session is complete, the connection software cannot be used by us automatically. We can only reconnect if you run the remote PC repair connection software again. Alternatively, you may delete our Remote Support software from your downloads folder.

How does it work and what is the cost?

Remote support is invoiced as a flat rate and price details can be found on our FAQ's page. We use our Remote Assistant to obtain access to your system and the details as to how it works is outlined above.
