Secure online remote help for Wollongong and Illawarra customers — software, email, settings and update problems on a computer that still starts and connects to the internet. This is a remote session, not a home visit.
Problems that suit a remote session
Remote help works best when the computer starts, connects to the internet and the problem is software or settings.
Software and updates
Installing, updating or removing programs, and fixing updates that will not finish.
Email and account settings
Outlook, Mail and browser email settings, sync problems and sign-in prompts.
Browser problems
Unwanted extensions, changed home pages, saved-password problems and pop-ups.
Printer software
Driver and print-queue problems on a computer that can still see the printer.
When a home visit is the better choice
Remote help is not a substitute for someone in the room when the problem is physical.
Computer will not start or connect
If the computer cannot get online, a remote session is not possible.
Wi-Fi and coverage
Router placement, dead zones and modem setup need someone on site.
After a remote-access scam
Have the computer checked in person before allowing any new remote connection.
Staying in control
You start the session
We never connect unprompted. Geeks at Door will not cold-call you asking for remote access.
You can watch and stop
Every change happens on your screen and you can disconnect at any time.
Your passwords stay yours
You type your own passwords. We never need banking details or one-time codes.

Questions
Online remote help FAQs
How much does online remote help cost?
Remote sessions start from $160. If the problem turns out to need physical testing or hardware, we explain that before changing course.
How does a remote session work?
You book, then the technician explains how to start a secure connection that you approve. You can watch every change on screen and end the session at any time.
Is remote help safe?
The session only starts when you approve it, you can see everything the technician does and you can disconnect at any time. Never let anyone connect who contacted you unexpectedly.
What problems can be fixed remotely?
Software installs and updates, email and account settings, browser problems, printer software on a connected computer and general Windows or macOS settings.
What cannot be fixed remotely?
A computer that will not start or connect, hardware faults, broken screens, Wi-Fi coverage problems and physical printer faults. Those need a home visit.
Do I need to be at the computer during the session?
Yes. You need to approve the connection, enter your own passwords and confirm the result works for you.
Can I use remote help from anywhere in the Illawarra?
Yes. Because the session is online, it works wherever the computer has a stable internet connection.
Can remote help fix a virus?
Sometimes, for adware and browser problems. After a scam where someone else had remote access, a home visit is safer so the computer is checked without opening another connection.
Do you help with Macs remotely?
Yes, for settings, email and software problems, as long as the Mac starts and is online.
What if the technician finds a hardware problem?
We tell you plainly and explain the home-visit option. Nothing extra is booked without your approval.
