How to Use Remote Computer Support Safely

Remote support can solve many software issues without an office visit, provided the connection is trusted.

Start here

Initiate the session through a support company you contacted yourself, not a number supplied by an unexpected pop-up.

What to look for

Ask what the technician plans to do and close personal documents before screen sharing.

Protect your information

Never share one-time verification codes or banking passwords with someone claiming to provide technical assistance.

When to seek help

Some problems, including failed hardware and inaccessible drives, require an in-shop inspection instead.
