Viruses & Spyware

Roughly 90% of computers are infected with at least one virus or spyware of some sort. They can cause all sorts of problems, from annoying pop-ups, to spam, to data corruption to Windows completely crashing!

Even the best anti-virus program can’t catch everything. So when I scan a computer for viruses and spyware, I use many different tools to make sure that I’ve caught even the sneakiest of infections.

When you get your computer back, you can be sure that every measure has been taken to make sure that your PC is free of viruses and spyware.

Virus Infection Removal

Viruses come from everywhere these days. You can get them from opening unsafe emails, visiting unsafe websites, or not having your computer protected. The most advanced viruses today will trick your antivirus software into believing that it isn’t infected with anything at all! More often than not, a computer is infected with a virus and the owner doesn’t even know it!

Viruses can cause a variety of problems with your computer. They can slow down a network with too much data, destroy documents, delete files, and generally wreck everything.

When I clean a computer, I use special tools to get rid of the virus before it starts attacking Windows. That makes sure that it can’t bring itself back to re-infect your computer.

Adware and Spyware Cleanup

Spyware and Adware are two sides of the same coin. They aren’t as malicious as viruses are, but just as annoying. They frequently will simply display ads and popups all over computer. The bad ones will go through your email and send itself to all of your friends. The really bad ones will wait until you log into your online banking or something similar and then send your password to hackers overseas.

I can remove any and all spyware or adware that you may have on your computer. In addition, I can also install tools to prevent them from coming back.
