Virus and malware removal: how infections take hold
Dodgy downloads and email links
Most infections arrive through a bad download or a link in a convincing email. This is the most common cause behind a virus and malware removal call, and we remove the threat and show you how to avoid the next one.
Out-of-date software and defences
Old software and lapsed protection leave gaps that malware exploits. Our virus and malware removal includes updating your defences so your machine is far harder to infect again.
Hidden background threats
Some malware runs quietly, stealing data or slowing your system. We run a deep scan to find and remove hidden threats, not just the obvious ones.
Try this before you call
- Disconnect from the internet to stop data being sent out.
- Do not enter passwords or banking details until it is cleaned.
- Note any pop-ups or messages you are seeing.
- Avoid clicking any on-screen prompt claiming to fix the problem.
If your machine is infected, prompt professional removal protects your data. You can read more on Microsoft’s official support pages, then let us handle the hands-on work.
