Everything IT — one operator, one phone number

Fifteen service areas covered under a single relationship. Whether you need one-time help or ongoing support, the setup is the same: you call me, I handle it.

🦠

Virus & Malware Removal

Complete detection and removal of viruses, spyware, ransomware, adware, and browser hijackers. Post-cleanup I also harden the system — real-time protection, browser hygiene, DNS filtering — so the same category of threat doesn't come back next week.

🚀

Computer Optimization

Slow computer? I diagnose the real cause (usually not what you think) — bloated startup, background services, dying drive, thermal throttling, filesystem corruption. Then I actually fix it. Not a „registry cleaner" pretending to help.

📦

Software Installation & Config

Install, configure, and update your business or personal software correctly. License activation, first-run setup, integration with your existing tools. Includes complex apps like accounting software (QuickBooks, Sage), design suites (Adobe), or industry-specific programs.

🖨️

Printer & Device Setup

Configure printers, scanners, all-in-ones, and other peripherals — connected to your computer, your network, or your cloud printing service. Drivers, IP setup, WiFi printer pairing, print queue troubleshooting. It'll actually work when you press Print.

☁️

Cloud Services Setup

Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Dropbox Business, Zoom, Slack — full setup and migration. User provisioning, license management, shared drives/mailboxes, admin controls, MFA rollout. Your team collaborates securely from anywhere without the „who has access to what" chaos.

💾

Data Backup & Recovery

Never lose important files again. Automated backup to cloud (Backblaze, iDrive, cloud-provider native) plus local secondary copy. Recovery testing — because a backup you can't restore isn't a backup. Data recovery from failed drives, deleted files, corrupt systems.

🖥️

Remote Desktop Support

Direct real-time screen access via TeamViewer or AnyDesk — you watch every step, keyboard and mouse stay yours the whole time. Most issues resolved in one 15-30 minute session. No shipping your computer anywhere, no waiting days.

📧

Email Setup & Config

Outlook, Thunderbird, Mail (macOS), Gmail, iCloud, Yahoo, custom IMAP/POP3. Setup, sync issues, corrupt PST/OST repair, migration between clients, mail server config for small business hosted email. Your inbox behaves.

🪟

Windows & Mac Support

Full support for Windows 7/8/10/11 and macOS (Intel + Apple Silicon M1/M2/M3). Updates, drivers, activation, system repair, upgrades, migration between OS versions, dual-boot setup. Also Linux (Ubuntu, Debian, Mint) if that's your thing.

🌐

Popup & Browser Cleanup

Chrome/Edge/Firefox suddenly full of ads, redirects, or a homepage you didn't set? Unwanted toolbars? Fake „your PC is infected" popups? I clean it out — extensions, scheduled tasks, HOSTS file, DNS hijacking — and secure your browser so it stays clean.

📊

Managed IT Support (business)

Monthly retainer for small businesses (1-50 employees). Includes unlimited remote help desk, proactive monitoring, patch management, backup verification, security hardening, quarterly IT reviews. Predictable cost, one number for everything.

🧭

IT Consulting & Strategy

Not sure if your current setup makes sense? I audit what you have, tell you honestly what to keep, what to change, and what's just costing you money for nothing. Recommendations aligned with actual business goals, not vendor commissions.

👤

Employee IT Onboarding

New hire? I set up their computer (new or existing), configure email, install required software, provision cloud accounts, set access permissions, walk them through security basics. Usually 30-60 min per employee. Great for remote-first companies scaling up.

🎧

Remote Help Desk

Dedicated help desk for your team — employees call or text one number for any tech issue. Password resets, printer problems, software questions, „email won't work" — resolved quickly so your team stays productive instead of fighting technology.

🆕

New Computer Setup

Just got a new PC or Mac? I set it up remotely — transfer your files from the old one, install your apps, configure settings, migrate email and cloud accounts, set up backup, remove bloatware. You start using it fully configured, not fighting the „set up your Microsoft account" wizard.

Need IT help? Schedule a service call today.

Available 7 days a week — call or text and describe your issue. I'll call back within the hour with a plan and a quote. No hold music, no on-site visit needed, no ticket number.

Why ItGuy.Services is the right choice for you or your business

Technical depth plus fast response plus personal accountability. Remote IT support you can actually count on — 7 days a week, 24 hours a day, one operator who knows your setup.

👤

One dedicated operator

You call, I answer. Not a call center. Not a rotating pool of technicians who each need to relearn your environment. Same person, same phone number, same accountability for the entire relationship.

📅

31+ years of experience

Founded April 1, 1995 — three years before Google existed. I've supported Windows since 3.1, macOS since PowerPC, networks since dial-up. Every generation of every technology. When something breaks, I've usually seen it before.

🔒

Safe & secure

Encrypted remote connections (TeamViewer/AnyDesk, AES-256, one-time codes). Strict access protocols. NDAs on request for sensitive business clients. You see every action I take on your screen. Session ends, access ends. Zero backdoors.

Fast response

Text or call, usually reach me within minutes. If I'm on another call, callback within the hour for anything urgent. Managed clients get priority queue — under 30 minutes for outages. Weekend and evening support included, not extra.

🇺🇸🇵🇱

Bilingual English + Polish

Native both. Chicago has one of the largest Polish-American populations in the US, and I'm one of very few IT professionals serving both language groups at fully native level. Family in Poland with computer trouble? I can call them directly in Polish.

💰

Zero corporate overhead

No office rent to pass along, no sales team, no shareholder returns. Prices reflect actual work, not vendor markup. Small business managed IT starts at $150/month — a fraction of what MSPs quote for equivalent scope.

FAQ — for home users & businesses

What's the difference between remote computer repair and remote IT support?
Repair is one-off — something broke, you need it fixed once. Support is ongoing — you or your team need someone to call for whatever comes up: new software, employee onboarding, cloud setup, weekly issues. Support usually works as a monthly retainer; repair is per-session. This page is the support page — for one-off fixes see Remote Computer Repair.
What does your managed IT support include?
For small businesses: unlimited remote help desk during business hours, proactive monitoring, patch management, backup verification, security hardening, employee onboarding, printer/email/cloud config, quarterly IT reviews. Ad-hoc project work (migrations, new office setup) quoted separately. Monthly retainer starts at $150 for very small teams, scales with headcount.
Do you support Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace?
Both — full setup, migration, user provisioning, license management, shared mailboxes, SharePoint/Drive folder architecture, admin center config, MFA rollout, DLP policies. I also handle Dropbox Business, Zoom, Slack, and pretty much any cloud collaboration tool.
Can you onboard my new employee remotely?
Yes — common ask. I set up their computer (new or existing), configure email, install required software, provision cloud accounts, set access permissions, walk them through security basics (2FA, password manager, phishing awareness). Usually 30-60 minutes per employee. Perfect for remote-first companies.
Do you offer 24/7 emergency support?
For managed clients — yes. Text or call the same number, day or night. If I'm asleep or on another call, I get back to you within an hour for emergencies. For ad-hoc clients — I try to help urgently but can't always guarantee same-hour response. That's what monthly retainer buys.
Is remote IT support safe for my business data?
Safer than letting a random technician into your office. Every remote session uses TeamViewer or AnyDesk with end-to-end encryption + one-time codes YOU generate. You watch every action, you can end the session anytime. No files leave your network without your explicit approval. I sign NDAs on request for sensitive clients.
Do you handle compliance (HIPAA, GLBA, SOC 2)?
Yes for small business tier. Backup encryption, MFA enforcement, endpoint protection, access logging, secure document handling. For full audit-ready compliance programs (SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA Risk Analysis, NIST 800-171) — that's dedicated project work with formal documentation, not day-to-day IT support.
What if I only need help once or twice a year?
That's fine — pay per session ($40-80 typical). No monthly commitment required. Many home users work this way. If you find yourself calling every month, we can talk about a lightweight support plan — often cheaper than paying per session.
Can you help my family / parents / seniors abroad?
Yes — very common. You live in the US/UK/Canada, family in Poland (or vice versa) has computer trouble — you call me, I call them in Polish or English, patiently walk them through, do what needs to be done remotely. You get a summary after the session.
How do I get started?
Call or text +1 773-800-1520 or email mail@itguy.services. Tell me what's going on. Free phone diagnostic — I'll tell you whether it's home-user pay-per-session or business managed IT, quote the work, and we schedule. First call always free.

One IT operator. One phone number. 31+ years of experience.

Whether it's a home computer that needs tuning or a small business that needs someone to actually manage its IT — call or text. Free phone diagnostic. Remote fixes usually same day. Chicagoland local visits available. English + Polish.
