VIRUS & MALWARE REMOVAL.

We are experts at tracking down viruses and malware and removing them!

Once infected you may be unable to install or update your security software, risk losing your data, or theft of your identity. If your computer is infected by a virus, trojan, worm, spyware, or malware we can remove the problems and advise you on how to stay safe in the future.

Where customers have downloaded software programs such as remote access software, DNS Unlocker, MyPCBackup, toolbars, registry cleaners or fake driver update programs may be installed too, these are classed as malware and should be removed.

Often these malware programs will not only slow your computer down they will also try and convey a sense of urgency that you must act now to resolve the problem, never give personal details or make a payment for software like this.

MANY DIFFERENT TYPES OF VIRUSES AND SPYWARE.

SPYWARE & ADWARE can be used to monitor your internet activity, redirect you to other sites when browsing, display adverts on pages you visit and often trick people into purchasing software they do not require.

TROJANS are a high security risk and often appear like a useful program, but create a back door to your machine which allows unauthorised access to others.

VIRUSES are designed to alter files saved on the computer, change the configuration of the computer.

WORMS are standalone programs that replicates to other computers, they often use a computer network to do this.
