Your Computer is Acting Strange. Is Someone Else in Control?

Endless pop-ups are flooding your screen. Your browser is redirecting to sketchy websites. Your computer has slowed to a crawl, and you have a nagging feeling that your personal information is at risk. A malware infection is more than just an annoyance; it’s a direct threat to your privacy, your finances, and your digital identity. Trying to fix it with a simple antivirus scan often fails to remove the deep-rooted infections that modern threats leave behind.

A Deep Dive into Digital Pest Control

“Virus” is often used as a catch-all term, but you could be facing a variety of threats. Our comprehensive service targets all of them:

• Viruses & Worms: Malicious code that replicates and spreads, often corrupting files and slowing your system.
• Trojans: Malware disguised as legitimate software, designed to create a backdoor for attackers to steal data.
• Spyware & Keyloggers: Software that secretly records your activity, including passwords, credit card numbers, and personal messages.
• Adware: Aggressive programs that bombard you with pop-up ads, track your browsing habits, and hijack your browser settings.
• Ransomware: A terrifying form of malware that encrypts your personal files (photos, documents) and demands a ransom payment for their release.
• Rootkits: The most dangerous type of malware, designed to hide itself and other threats from your operating system and antivirus software.

Our Meticulous 5-Step Removal Process

1. Isolation & Evaluation: We check in your device and immediately isolate it from our network. We perform a free, initial evaluation to assess the type and severity of the infection.
2. Specialized Scanning: We use a suite of powerful, professional-grade removal tools that run outside of your infected operating system, allowing us to detect and remove hidden threats like rootkits.
3. Manual Cleanup & System Repair: After the automated scans, our technicians manually inspect critical system locations (like the registry and startup folders) to remove any lingering malware remnants. We then repair system files damaged by the infection.
4. Security Hardening: We don’t just want to fix the problem; we want to prevent it from happening again. We’ll ensure your operating system and key software are updated, and check your security settings.
5. Final Scan & Customer Debrief: We run a final “clean” scan to confirm 100% removal. When you pick up your computer, we’ll give you a summary of what we found and provide tips for staying safe online. Your service is backed by our 90-day warranty.
