We've invested in the industry's best remote support & collaboration tool, TeamViewer. There are two main options when it comes to our remote support services.

TeamViewer's Quick Support and TeamViewer's Hosted version.

TeamViewer's Quick Support tool can be downloaded & saved so you can run it anytime you'd like us to login. Once you've ran the tool, we'll be able to see your computer in our dashboard, so we can send you a popup that shows you two options, "Allow" or "Deny". If you click "Allow", we'll be connected to your computer. Click "Deny" and we can't login.

TeamViewer's Hosted version is installed and we can login anytime you give us permission (via phone, email, text etc...). This is only for our regular clients who've already established trust in Bay Geeks and our team. If you're not sure about us yet it's best to use the Quick Support version. All of our Maintenance Plan clients will have the hosted version installed so we can perform our routine maintenance.

That depends. A simple configuration or 'How to' question may only take a few minutes. If we are removing viruses, ad ware, spy ware, and optimizing your pc, the session is usually around an hour. Depending on the severity of the infestation, the session could take well over an hour. We genuinely care about doing the best possible job and make sure your computer is in the best condition possible. We want our service to be a great experience for you and hope you will return to Bay Geeks with all your computer problems and questions.
