Symantec sets up Guru network

INSECURITY outfit Symantec has developed a new troubleshooting service, called Project Guru.

Using the system uber-geeks can invite people to join their Guru network, where they can remotely troubleshoot and repair PCs if they go bang.

Guru uses a secure browser connection to connect to the PC that needs help, so users don't have to adjust firewall settings.

Of course if its the sort of problem that you cant connect to the Internet then you are a bit stuffed. Symantec has not yet worked out whether Guru will be free. µ
