I have worked with Thomas O

I have worked with Thomas O. on multiple occasions. He is very personable and follows through with answers to questions. I love that he gives me options to think about so that I can decide which program will work best for my situation. I have used Virtual Shield for around 5 years total and have been very happy. It gives me peace of mind to have my computer system well protected. Thomas O. is the "cherry" on top with his professional manner of working with clients.

My renewal

My renewal is coming up in 2 days but I'm a little short on what my payment would have been. So I was going to down grade for finance issue. Amanda explained about the discount and that I would be able to continue with the ultimate level. Amanda also helped me change my payment method. I'm so glad she was able to help me. I gave her 5 stars for the help and understanding, and the polite and efficient way she handled my case.
Thank you all who work there for those who like me are not computer wizards.

AMANDA ROCKS AT VIRTUALSHIELD

Amanda is one savvy VirtualShield support. I initially contacted them to confirm an issue I had experienced a few days earlier. All was well, so Amanda offered to improve my service by lowering my cost and offering a lifetime guarantee that the lower cost would not rise. I have been pleased with their services for many years. I would recommend them anytime, anywhere. These people know their stuff, and a fantastic support team!

A very nice gentleman named Thomas O had helped me with my query. I was going to cancel my subscription when Thomas had offered me a better deal. I decided to take up the special offer. On my previous subscription I had paid an certain amount of monies. Thomas had recommended that I go on my new subscription and he'll refund me the difference for which I am most grateful for.

VirtualShield tricked my elderly…

VirtualShield tricked my elderly mother-in-law into paying $132 for a subscription to a service she doesn’t need. She’s not tech-savvy, doesn’t have a computer, and she’s easily confused so she is a perfect target for scammers. We had to open a fraud case and get the bank to reverse the charge and send her a new debit card. This is not the first time (and I’m sure it won’t be the last) that a company preying on the elderly succeeds when they find her.
