computer service safety

Do you ever need to service your computer, get a tuneup, or worse – save lost files from a crash? Do you need to make sure your computer is secure from malware, viruses, hackers, spyware? Or do you need help with some new gadget?

Yes … but why do we delay?

Too much time and trouble to take it in?  And we wonder if it safe to give online access. Right?

You are not alone. Many people are concerned about allowing someone access to their computer. I know I am.  Here is what you should know about computer service centers, and what can put YOU in control and keep you safe!

The truth is, you should be extremely worried about what happens behind your back.  When you drop your computer off at a repair center for a few days, you are completely vulnerable to the misdeeds of devious employees!

Did you know that ex-employees of one of the world’s largest computer service centers have quit in disgust, and publicly admitted that their co-workers routinely grabbed PRIVATE Business, Personal, and Financial files off their client’s computers that were brought in for service!

With little to no risk of being caught, some of these employees would even install Spyware and Keyloggers on the computers that they were supposed to help!! Even to this day, most of them will never be caught!

Are house calls better? Not really. When a computer consultant comes over to your home, you have no guarantee of who this person really is. Just a few seconds of PHYSICAL ACCESS TO YOUR COMPUTER is really all that it takes!

Automatic Geek is one of the few true alternatives to all these kinds of problems.

One of the main things that separates Automatic Geek from these other companies is that Automatic Geek puts YOU in control at all times, and Keeps your private files 100% Safe!

How?

Here are two breif points I will explore with you right now;

1. Automatic Geek puts the POWER of control in YOUR hands! That’s because unlike other services where you leave your computer for days, or are forced to deal with a computer consultant sitting in front of your computer and blocking your view, Automatic Geek gives you the ability to choose HOW you want to share your screen, and WHEN!
2. Automatic Geek uses some of the most respected and secure software in the world, used by numerous Fortune 500 companies, including Dell.

Now lets really consider these two points…

• The access by our Geeks is 100% permission based. Our Geeks can never access your computer without your request or permission.
• YOU see EVERYTHING that the Geek is doing to your computer in real-time. One on One training over the internet!
• UNLIKE someone with Physical access to your computer, Geek’s CANNOT transfer files TO OR FROM your computer without you knowing! This point alone takes care of most of the concerns that a Geek could “steal your financial data”!

• Plus, there is a complete log kept of everything that a Geek does to your computer. The log files are encrypted and secured in such a way that they can never be tampered with, and the logs are also PCI and HIPAA compliant. All logs are encrypted and secured away, never to be seen by human eyes and only retrieved if a member request it for an investigation.

• All of our Geeks go through a background check as well as a security check.

• All of our Geeks have held reputable positions with other large companies. Almost all of the Geek’s who work for Automatic Geek have spent the last 10-15 years working for large reputable companies in IT / Support positions.

• ALL of the Geeks used by Automatic Geek work EXCLUSIVELY for Automatic Geek.  All Geeks are in the US or Europe. We do not use any third party outsourced Geek’s from India, etc.

Secondly, Automatic Geek uses GoToAssist Corporate software. GoToAssist Corporate is used in some of the most respected and secure companies in the world, including the US Government and numerous Fortune 500 companies, including Dell. This proves that Automatic Geek only uses the best, but how does this PROTECT you?

In conclusion, consider this:

• ALL GoToAssist Corporate connections use SSL and AES encryption using 128-bit keys ensure the privacy of all remote connections.

• GoToAssist Corporate complies with or exceeds the highest security standards, and is both PCI and HIPAA compliant. For a complete corporate whitepaper that details these points, please see this.
