Common Questions

Is it safe to let someone remote into my computer?

Yes. We use remote access software with 256-bit AES encryption. You see every click and command in real time on your screen, and you can disconnect the session instantly with one click. We never access your computer without your explicit permission, and we never store your data after the session ends.

How does remote computer repair actually work?

Message us on WhatsApp at +1 302-393-7439 with your problem. We send you a link to download a small, lightweight remote access tool (under 5MB). You run it, give us a one-time session code, and we connect — the entire setup takes under 2 minutes. From there, our technician diagnoses and fixes your issue live on your screen while you watch. You control the session and can end it any time.

What if you can't fix my computer problem?

If we can't fix the issue you reported (within our service scope), you pay nothing — and if you paid in advance, you get a full refund. There are no diagnostic fees. See our Refund Policy for the exceptions. If we determine it's hardware that needs local repair, we tell you exactly what's failing and what to replace, so you can make an informed decision without being upsold.

How long does a typical remote computer repair take?

Many repairs take under an hour; each service page lists its typical time. Software fixes like virus removal, browser cleanup, and driver problems typically take 20-40 minutes. More complex jobs like data recovery, BSOD diagnosis with multiple crash dumps, or full Windows reinstallation can take 1-2 hours. We give you a realistic time estimate before starting and keep you updated throughout.

Do you support Windows and macOS?

We primarily support Windows 10 and Windows 11 (also Windows 7 for legacy systems). For macOS issues we can help with common problems — slow performance, network issues, browser cleanup, and software conflicts. We don't do macOS hardware repair or deep system-level macOS work. If unsure, message us first and we'll tell you upfront whether we can help.

Do you offer support outside of Denver, Colorado?

Yes — we serve customers worldwide. Because our work is entirely remote, geography doesn't limit who we can help. Anywhere you have a stable internet connection, we can connect to your computer.

What payment methods do you accept?

The fastest way to pay is via WhatsApp, where we send you a secure payment link. If we can't fix it, you don't pay — and if you paid in advance, you get a full refund. We accept all major credit cards and major digital wallets. Payment for Windows activation keys is collected before delivery.

Do I need to install anything to use your remote repair service?

Yes — a small, secure remote access tool (about 4-5MB). One click to run, no account needed, and you can uninstall it the moment the session ends. We use industry-standard tools that don't leave any background services or scheduled tasks behind. If you're not comfortable installing software, we can sometimes guide you through manual fixes via screen-share without our tool.

Are my files and passwords visible to the technician during the session?

Only what's on your screen. We see your desktop and whatever windows you have open, exactly as you do. We never see saved passwords, browser auto-fills, or files that aren't opened. For sensitive work (banking, password manager), we recommend closing those windows before starting the session. You can also pause screen-share at any point — we instruct you on how during setup.

How quickly do you respond to support requests?

We aim to reply on WhatsApp quickly, any time of day (24/7). Email (support@rebootdoctor.com): we reply as soon as we can, usually the same day.
