Warranty: 1 to 12 months, confirmed with your quote, before any work starts. This guide explains the warning signs of infection, what to do straight away, and exactly how we clean your device safely.
Common signs of infection we fix
Malware comes in many forms, from annoying adware to dangerous ransomware. Virus removal covers every type of infection on laptops and desktops alike. Here is a quick guide to the warning signs and what they usually mean. Our virus removal team treats each infection with proven, safe tools.
| Infection Sign | What It Usually Means |
|---|---|
| Constant pop-ups and adverts | Adware or a browser hijacker |
| Fake virus warnings | Scareware trying to trick you |
| Sudden slowdown | Malware running in the background |
| Locked files or ransom notes | Ransomware, act immediately |
| Strange emails sent from you | Compromised account or trojan |
Pop-ups, adware and browser hijackers
If your browser is overrun with pop-ups or your home page keeps changing, adware or a hijacker is likely to blame. Our virus removal engineers strip out the unwanted software and restore your browser to normal. Virus removal covers every browser and operating system.
Fake warnings and scareware
Alarming messages telling you to call a number or pay to fix your PC are almost always fake. We remove the scareware safely and show you how to spot these tricks in future.
Ransomware and locked files
Ransomware encrypts your files and demands payment, which you should never pay. We assess the infection, work to recover what we can and secure your system against repeat attacks.
Do this first before you book
A few careful steps can limit the damage before we arrive.
- Disconnect from the internet. This stops malware spreading or sending your data out.
- Do not pay any ransom. Payment rarely restores files and funds criminals.
- Avoid entering passwords. Wait until the device is clean before logging in anywhere.
- Report scams if needed. The NCSC offers clear guidance for individuals.
