DONT USE THIS COMPANY. I am a young student who almost was tricked out of £90. In a vulnerable situation I turned to a company I believed to be related to Microsoft. I was misled and had my computer hacked before me. Thanks to this website I managed to stop this before I have over my bank details. Please don't let yourself be tricked out of your hard earned money

My old computer was having issues partly due to my inexperence with managing a computer and its settings among other issues. I could not get the AVG Anti-Virus update to take. The GuruAid staff was helpful and taught me some things at the same time while resolving the issue.

I would recommend GuruAid to my friends and family.A very good service. Patient,helpful.and explained things that I could understand perfectly.Technition efficient , attentive ,and friendly.Thanks for restoring my faith in humanity. I am very satisfied.

I was having a problem with my Hotmail account so Googled "Microsoft technical support.". First listing seemed very much like Microsoft company so I went to the site. It turned out to be Guru Aid, which skillfully made it seem that they were contracted to Microsoft to provide free advice and support to users. I used the 0800 number provided and the representative told me he would solve my problem. I asked if they were contracted to Microsoft and he said they were. I naively accepted his word and allowed him remote access to my MacBook Air. After a little while of him commenting on how slowly my machine was running (it had not been!) and how it needed a good clean-up (it is scanned every week!) I became suspicious. He then he would have to pass me on to a more senior colleague, and that this would involve a small charge I immediately told him I would seek Apple's advice on the problem and closed my laptop down. Two days later the inevitable happened....my machine went crazy and a message appeared saying I should call Apple Support immediately for help on the 0800 number provided. A quick check confirmed it was not Apple so I rang the correct number for Apple and explained my issue. The representative was brilliant and very reassuring. She said she would be able to trace any malware or adware that may have been planted, and would be able to remove it at no cost (Apple actually mean it!). By screen-sharing she guided me through everything I needed to do, detecting several alien plants, and how to remove them. Thank goodness, no use had been made of them, they were just lying in wait to be remotely activated. This is the first problem I have ever encountered in 25 years of owning and using computers (my own fault I admit) and I have absolutely no doubt that it occurred as a result of my contact with Guru Aid. I find many of their excellent reviews on this site to be incredible and would suggest people thinking of using them to refer to some of the American sites carrying reviews. They are horrendous!

Did a little research on this company . . . . It kind of raises a flag when a company has so many "5 star we love it reviews from accounts that only do one review." Usually they are paid/or fake shill accounts trying to hype their ratings . . . Currently they are using all these domains: guruaid.com guruaid.co.uk guruaid.ca guruaid.us guruaid.net More info below from several other sources. ---------- complaintslist.com http://www.complaintslist.com/computer-repair/guruaid/ Average rating: 1.09 out of 5?

Seems someone might be misrepresenting themselves) - Very sorry for your experience however GuruAid is NOT the Official Microsoft Support no matter what they claim. - Avoid tech support phone scams http://www.microsoft.com/security/online-privacy/avoid-phone-scams.aspx - Hoaxes and Scams http://support.microsoft.com/contactus/cu_sc_virsec_master?ws=support#tab3 ----------

Over many years, my wife and I have benefitted from the Guruaid service and it has been very helpful, especially when we have had quite serious problems with our computers, which I use for work, where it is necessary to have it fixed quickly.

Both individuals did a great job of covering all the details, explaining what they were doing, and resolved my issues in a very friendly manner. I look forward to working with your group should I have any future issues.
