Remote computer support is a growing and viable solution to the busy lives most people lead and revolve more and more around computers.

When Is Remote Computer Support Safe?
When a reputable company offers remote support, it’s safe. There are numerous companies that are honest and safe offering remote tech support these days. OneSupport has 20+ years of experience at providing safe, reliable support for computers and other devices. The key to staying safe when allowing remote access is doing research about a company before giving access to computers and personal information.
Pop-ups saying “your computer is infected click this link now” are not safe. Don’t ever click them; they’re an attempt to gain access to your computer and install viruses and malware. Phone calls claiming your computer is infected are also scams.
Convenience Is Key
The whole point of using a remote computer support company is to save time and money. Instead of packing up a computer, dragging it down to a big-box store, and waiting in line for a “geek” or a “genius” to fix it, tech support can be accessed with the click of a mouse or the dial of a phone.
Getting this support, however, means allowing someone to remotely access the computer in question. Letting someone remote into your computer means putting a lot of trust into a company. When a remote tech support technician accesses a computer, they should be running scans and removing programs. They may also install protective software like an antivirus or anti-malware to keep the machine safe and running well.
