Virus & Malware Removal

Pop-ups, a browser that opens pages you did not ask for, and a machine that slowed down overnight. We clean it out onsite, with your files left where they are.

What Infection Actually Looks Like

Very few people see a dramatic warning and know they are infected. What they notice is the machine getting slower, a browser homepage they did not choose, search results going somewhere unfamiliar, or a full-screen message insisting they call a support number immediately. All of those are symptoms we remove weekly.

  • Pop-ups and full-screen “your computer is infected” scareware
  • Browser hijacks, toolbars, and redirected search
  • Adware bundled in alongside something you did install on purpose
  • Sudden slowness, fans running constantly, and unexplained network traffic

How We Clean It

Removal is the easy half. The part that keeps it gone is finding the route in — an extension, a scheduled task, a program that reinstalls itself, an out-of-date Windows install. We clear the infection, close the door it came through, and leave the machine configured to make the next attempt harder.

  • Infection and adware removal with your documents and photos intact
  • Browser extensions, startup entries, and scheduled tasks cleaned up
  • Windows and security updates brought current
  • A walk-through of what let it in, so it is recognizable next time

One Honest Warning

Our 90-day warranty covers our work, not a second infection. If a machine gets re-infected because the same habit continues — the same downloads, the same pop-up talked someone into the same install — that is a new visit. We would rather say so plainly now than argue about it later. If a cleanup reveals a failing drive underneath, that is data recovery territory.

What It Costs

Free Estimates, No Surprises

Most cleanups are a single visit. Badly infected machines occasionally take longer, and we will say so before the clock runs on.

Free estimate before any work begins, and you approve the price before we start. Repairs carry a 90-day warranty on our labor, plus whatever warranty the manufacturer provides on any parts we install. If you are already a customer and your question takes us under fifteen minutes on the phone, there is no charge for it.

A trip charge may apply for longer distances. The warranty does not cover a machine that is re-infected with malware after we clean it.

Common Questions

Virus & Malware Questions

The questions we get asked while the technician is still in the driveway.

Will I lose my files?
In an ordinary cleanup, no. We remove infections with your documents and photos left in place. If the infection is ransomware that has already encrypted files, that is a different and much harder conversation, and we will be straight with you about the odds.
Is the free antivirus I already have not enough?
It stops a lot. What it does not stop is the thing you clicked yourself, browser extensions that came bundled with something else, and the fake support pop-ups that talk people into installing the problem. Those are most of what we actually remove.
A pop-up says Microsoft detected a virus and gave a phone number. Should I call it?
No. Microsoft does not do that. That pop-up is the scam — calling the number connects you to someone who will ask for remote access and payment. Close the browser and call us instead.

Pop-Ups Taken Over?
