Proactive Device Care

Your Computer Shouldn't Need Attention
Only After Something Breaks

Most home computers only get attention when something goes wrong. Pinkerton MSP Managed Home IT helps keep your household computers monitored, maintained, visible, and accessible before problems become interruptions.

Monitor

We monitor key device-health information such as storage, memory, update status, and other important system conditions.

Update

Supported Windows, macOS, and application updates are managed during scheduled maintenance periods whenever possible.

Report

Receive an easy-to-read monthly computer health report showing important information about your enrolled devices and managed activity.

Connect

Securely access your authorized home computer from your laptop, tablet, phone, or another supported device when you are away.

Privacy: Pinkerton MSP monitors technical device-health information. We do not continuously view your screen, personal files, browsing history, webcam, or email. Remote sessions occur only through the configured remote-access service and its permissions.

Managed Updates

Updates Happen in the Background

Windows and macOS updates are managed and monitored to help keep your computers current while reducing unnecessary interruptions.

Windows

Keep Your Windows PC Current

macOS & Applications

Keep Your Mac & Apps Up to Date

Your computers are monitored, maintained, and kept current automatically. We also make it clear what is included in your membership and when additional hands-on support may be needed.

Unlimited live tech support or on-demand technician service
Physical repairs, screen replacements, or replacement parts

Need hands-on help? Remote troubleshooting, advanced support, and technician services are available separately when your computer needs more than automated maintenance.

SERVICE BOUNDARIES & POLICIES

Managed Home IT FAQ

Transparent terms, defined technical boundaries, and strict personal privacy standards. Here is exactly what our residential management covers.

Do you monitor my screen, search history, or personal files?

Pinkerton MSP does not continuously monitor your screen, personal files, browsing history, webcam, or email. Remote-control sessions occur only through the configured remote-access service and permissions.

How does on-demand remote access operate?

Remote access is permission-controlled. Customers can be given access only to their authorized household computers, and Pinkerton MSP configures remote-access permissions according to the service settings.

Which operating systems and devices are supported?

We support modern residential hardware running Windows 10, Windows 11, and macOS (Monterey or newer). Both desktop towers and portable laptops across standard home workstations are fully covered under active management tiers.

What types of system updates are automated?

Supported Windows, macOS, and third-party application updates can be scheduled during defined maintenance windows, and update status can be centrally monitored. Some updates may still require a restart or user interaction.

Is third-party antivirus software included in this service?

Third-party antivirus is not included in the base Managed Home IT plan. The service focuses on computer monitoring, managed updates, device maintenance, reporting, alerts, and remote access. Additional managed security options may be offered separately.

Is unlimited live helpdesk or on-demand tech support included?

No. This is a dedicated remote system maintenance and health monitoring service. It is designed to automate patch hygiene and detect drive failures early, rather than functioning as an open-ended personal tech helpdesk or on-call tutorial service.

How long does initial onboarding and agent setup take?

Setup is designed to be simple and typically takes only a few minutes per computer. You’ll install a lightweight application using the secure install link provided after signup.

What are the specific terms of the First 50 Families promotion?

Limited to the first 50 qualifying families. Keep your First 50 Families rate of $24.99/month for as long as your qualifying subscription remains continuously active.
