Before allowing remote access

  • Only allow someone you know and trust.
  • Never give remote access to a random caller.
  • Close banking, email and private files first.
  • Stay near the computer during the session.
  • End the session if anything feels suspicious.

Choose the right remote access tool.

Remote access can be useful, but it must be handled carefully.

A remote support tool gives another person control of your computer. Treat it the same way you would treat handing over your keyboard and mouse.

Do not trust pressure tactics.
Scammers often pretend to be from banks, Microsoft, delivery companies or service providers.
Do not share passwords.
A legitimate technician should not need your banking password, email password or card PIN.
Download only from official websites.
Avoid random download sites, cracked versions and pop-up adverts.
Confirm the technician first.
If unsure, WhatsApp FixTribeSA before installing anything.

How a safe remote support session should work.

1

Contact FixTribeSA

Explain the problem first, such as slow laptop, email setup, printer issue, virus warning or Windows error.

2

Install the agreed tool

Use the correct official download link. Do not install random tools sent by unknown people.

3

Stay at the computer

Watch the session while the technician checks settings, software, updates or errors.

4

Close the session

Once support is complete, close the remote access program and ask if anything must be uninstalled.
