All of our technicians are located in the United States at our office in Hartford, CT. In fact, all Go Tech Secure Solutions employees work out of our Hartford office.
Absolutely. All Go Tech Secure Solutions technicians are experienced and knowledgeable about all supported technologies.
While most of our technicians have one or more industry standard certifications, it is not a requirement. We find that certifications alone are not a good indicator of how knowledgeable a technician is. Anyone can cram for, and pass, a certification test. We value actual education, experience, knowledge, and ability above all else. Our interviewing process goes in depth to discover these things along with how well they communicate and present themselves.
We support ALL companies' products that manufacture computers, consumer technology devices, computer-related peripherals, and software. This includes, but is not limited to, Dell, Hewlett-Packard (HP), Compaq, Apple, Toshiba, Acer, Gateway, Netgear, Linksys, D-Link, Belkin, Microsoft, McAfee, Symantec (Norton), Kaspersky, Trend Micro, Canon, Lenovo, Samsung, Webroot and Adobe.
Yes. Go Tech Secure Solutions utilizes remote assistance at no additional cost. This is the easiest and most efficient way to see and resolve any issue(s) at hand. To resolve most issues, and to connect to your computer, a working internet connection is required. If your internet connection has stopped working, our technicians will assist you over the phone.
This varies depending on the nature and severity of the problem. A resolution of a basic issue may take as little as ten minutes, although most issues will take longer than that. More complex issues can feasibly take an hour or longer depending on a variety of factors. For example, malware removal takes on average anywhere from 2 – 3 hours to fully resolve. Go Tech Secure Solutions works as efficiently as possible to resolve issues and answer questions. We'll be fast, but we will never sacrifice the quality of the work that we provide.
No. Go Tech Secure Solutions can only resolve issues that do not require physical repair (which are the vast majority of issues). Please keep in mind however, that we can still guide you toward a solution or act on your behalf to get whatever it may be resolved.
No. Go Tech Secure Solutions has no control over and does not manage the connection between your ISP and your home.
No, Go Tech Secure Solutions only offers remote technical assistance via the phone or internet. Since over 95% of issues can be resolved remotely, the service is ideal for the vast majority of issues that may occur with your technology. For the other 5% of issues, we can still guide you toward a solution or act on your behalf to achieve a resolution.
This icon is a shortcut to our "calling card" software. The calling card is a quick and easy way to chat with one of our techs and even invite them to log into your computer. It does not run unless you intentionally launch it and it does not allow us to connect to your computer without your permission. For your convenience, we strongly recommend that it remain on the system; but it can be uninstalled from your control panel just like any other program. Please also note that this software does not work with Macs (we can still connect remotely via your web browser however) or on mobile devices.
The Go Tech Secure Solutions System Analyzer is a free software utility provided as a courtesy from Go Tech Secure Solutions that anyone can use; this is true regardless of whether you are a Go Tech Secure Solutions customer or not. It scans your computer for potential problems and simply reports the results back to you. It does not modify your system or attempt to fix any of these potential problems. If it displays any potential problems, we recommend contacting us. Just like the calling card, it can be easily removed from the system through the Windows control panel. Please also note that this software does not work with Macs or on mobile devices.
Absolutely not. The only way that our technicians can ever gain access to your computer is if you intentionally request help and then allow us to connect. We have no way of logging into your computer without your consent.
Our current hours of operation are:
Monday – Friday, 9 AM – 10 PM eastern time
Saturday & Sunday, 9 AM – 6 PM eastern time
Please note that holiday hours may differ.

Go Tech Secure Solutions processes all credits and voids immediately upon approval to expedite the time it takes for funds to be credited or become available to your account. Please note that the process can vary in length depending on the speed of the credit card processors and your particular financial institution. So it's possible that your credit may take up to 10 business days to complete. We have no control over the speed at which funds become available again or when a credit is posted to your account.
If you are calling on behalf of someone else to cancel a home support plan, we require direct consent from the paying customer or power of attorney in order to proceed. Proof of power of attorney can be provided via email or fax, while direct consent can be provided verbally over the phone. If the customer has passed away, a published obitury or copy of a death certificate is required in order to cancel services. This policy protects the legal rights of our company as well as our customers. Business plans require that the original individual who signed the agreement at your company or organization or someone of equal or higher authority be the one who cancels the service.
Yes. Go Tech Secure Solutions offers data backup services in addition to our support services. Data backup plans are separate from our technical support plans.
Yes. For ease of use, reliability, and security; cloud based data backup is the best option both for home users and businesses.
Of course. Before your data is uploaded to our servers, it is first encrypted on your device. It is securely sent via a secure SSL (Secure Socket Layer) connection. The data is then stored in world-class data centers that employ the highest security standards. For additional security, you have the option to use a 256-bit AES key; which is military grade encryption.
Yes. In addition to backing up your data to the cloud, the software can be set to back up the data to your external device.
Cloud data backup securely makes a copy of your important data to a secure location on the internet for easy recovery in the event that something happens to your computer. This is better than using an external device, as external devices are prone to corruption, damage, failure, and physical loss such as theft or misplacement. Having your important data backed up "offsite" eliminates these risks while adding a significant convenience and reliability factor. Additionally, the backup software automatically backs up your important data up to 8 times a day.
Yes. The data backup mobile app can be installed and set to automatically back up your photos and videos to the cloud. It also allows you to easily share them across multiple devices.
Yes. The data backup software can be installed on multiple devices. It works on Windows, Mac, Android and iOS (iPhone and iPad).
Yes. The Go Tech Secure Solutions data backup service is HIPAA compliant. If I cancel my data backup service, will my backed up data be lost? Yes. For security purposes, as soon as your backup account is cancelled, all of the backed up data will be deleted from the server.
