What is online remote help? Is it secure?

BlueStreakIT technicians support remote PCs - on demand, over the Web, without pre-installing software. The result is faster, more efficient incident resolution that increases customer satisfaction. You just sit back and watch us work!

Online help is absolutely secure. Customers must permit our technician to use each remote access function (Remote Control, Desktop View, File Transfer, System Information, and Reboot & Reconnect). You can choose to terminate the session at any time.

Further, we cannot get back into your machine after we're done because all traces of the Customer Applet disappear from the remote PC when the session is finished.

For more info, see the How Online Help Works section of this site.

What do your services cost?

Each service package is priced individually at a flat fee. We don't charge you extra if it takes more time than usual. We work until the problem is solved. For more information on pricing, see our All Services section of this site.

What forms of payment do you accept? Is payment process secure?

We accept all major credit cards, including American Express, Master Card, and Visa as well as PayPal.

With Verisign's seal of approval, PayPal provides our payment processing and takes multiple steps to ensure security. They verify that your Internet browser is running Secure Sockets Layer 3.0 (SSL) or higher. Information is protected by SSL with an encryption key length of 128 bits (the highest level commercially available). Your personal information is heavily guarded, both physically and electronically, and their firewall-protected servers are not directly connected to the Internet.

Do you have support plans for companies with more than 100 PCs?

Our flat-fee plans generally work best for companies/homes with 1-100 PCs. We do, however, have many years experience in supporting mid-sized companies as well. If you would like to discuss ongoing support for more than 100 PCs, please email us or call us at 800-840-9208.

Is your work guaranteed?

Yes! Absolutely!

All solutions carry a 5-day warranty. If we can't solve your problem, your credit card will be refunded.

Upon completion of service, we'll provide you with special follow-up contact information so if you experience any problem with our solution, you can reach us and we'll work to remedy the issue. Your satisfaction is very important to us.

For 25 years, we've built our business on happy customers. Let us show you how we do it!

Do you support Apple MacIntosh?

We do not support Macs at this time.

Do you support older computers?

We will support any PC with the following operating systems:

  • Windows Vista
  • Windows XP & Server 2003 (all including 64-bit)
  • Windows 98, ME & 2000

Not sure which operating system you have? When your PC has been booted, left click "Start", right click "My Computer" ("Computer" for Vista), select "Properties" and the operating system information is displayed.

Do I have to have a high speed/broadband connection?

Unfortunately, if you have dial-up, we are unable to assist you at this time. A broadband connection (DSL or cable) is needed if the solution requires a remote login to your PC.

Can you send a technician to my office/home?

We're sorry, but we don't offer on-site support. The good news is that 90% of PC and network issues can be resolved securely on-line!
