    Geek Squad installed it.

    The guys from Geek Squad set up our TV and did the technology part. All was done quickly. They were friendly and wore shoe covers. Living in the country, I really appreciated them not dragging mud into the house.

    The agent was knowledgeable and patient.

    The agent was patient and walked me through my problem. She was easy to understand and spoke clearly. We move smoothly the system and contacted another group when I asked for help with a related problem This was a great help for a senior with a hearing problem. She sensed that I was lagging behind and automatically slowed down. I would be happy to have her help with any future problems.

    Fixed one problem and reated another one.

    The first time I used remote services the said they had fixed the problem, but it came back almost immediately. The second time, they fixed the initial problem but seem to have created different ones. They charged me extra the first time to go to a more advanced remote help. My PC is usable, but not right.

    WebRoot transfer to new PC

    I was transferred to numerous people who were unable to transfer my WebRoot protection to my new PC. I kept getting different numbers to call which invariably took me to the same people who were unable to help me. They finally told me that for a price of $39.00 they could connect me to someone who could help me - REALLY??? Best Buy sold me the WebRoot protection which I’ve had for years & every year they automatically renew this protection for me but when it came to helping me transfer the protection no one could help me unless I paid to have it done.

    Geek Squad remote session

    The agent remotely controlled my MacBook in order to help me find out what was wrong with the keyboard despite it being a new one.
