Remote & Virtual IT Support (24/7) + Managed Cybersecurity — Techie Town Boston
Remote IT Support That Actually Fixes the Root Cause (Not Just the Symptom)
We provide professional remote IT support for businesses and individuals — troubleshooting, configuration, security hardening, account recovery, performance repairs, and help desk support. You get fast triage, clean documentation, and practical cybersecurity baked into every session.
During business hours we aim to respond within ~1 hour (often faster). After-hours response varies by queue and coverage.
Remote Support Tools We Use / Support (Official Links)
We choose tools based on your environment, device type, and security needs. Many sessions can run with built-in or lightweight options. You always approve access, and you can end the session at any time.
What We Can “Repair” Remotely (And How We Do It)
Remote support isn’t just “screen sharing.” It’s structured triage + root-cause repair, with security and stability checks baked in. Below are common issues we resolve in remote sessions.
| Problem | How We Fix It | Typical Result |
|---|---|---|
| Slow computer / freezing / crashes Windows + macOS |
Startup cleanup, storage health checks, OS + driver updates, software conflict isolation, browser cleanup, performance tuning. | Faster boot, smoother apps, reduced crashing, clear “next steps” if hardware is the bottleneck. |
| Email not working / login loops Microsoft 365 + Google Workspace |
Account sign-in repair, MFA reset planning, Outlook/Gmail configuration, mailbox rules cleanup, security review for compromise indicators. | Email restored, safer sign-in, fewer lockouts. |
| Security scare / malware symptoms Popups, redirects, suspicious extensions |
Browser + extension audit, system scans (as appropriate), removal guidance, patching, hardening, safer defaults + prevention plan. | Cleaner system + reduced risk of repeat infections. |
| Wi-Fi/network instability Drops, slow speeds, dead zones |
Remote diagnostics: device tests, router configuration review, channel/interference guidance, mesh placement strategy, firmware checks. | More stable network and a clear plan if ISP or hardware replacement is needed. |
| Business user/device setup Onboarding, standardization |
Account provisioning guidance, device configuration, security baseline checklist, password manager rollout, backup/recovery planning. | Cleaner operations, fewer “one-off” problems, better security posture. |
