Malware removal isn't just running a scan and calling it done. A thorough cleanup means identifying everything that was installed, removing it completely, checking for lingering damage, and then addressing how it got in so it doesn't happen again. I also make sure your protection going forward is actually working.
Malware & Virus Removal
Full system scan and manual removal of viruses, trojans, adware, spyware, and browser hijackers - not just what an automated scan catches.
Ransomware Assessment
If you've been hit with ransomware, I'll assess the damage, attempt recovery of encrypted files, and remove the infection.
Browser Cleanup
Removing malicious extensions, resetting hijacked homepages and search engines, and cleaning up browser settings across Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and others.
Unwanted Software Removal
Cleaning out toolbars, bundled software, potentially unwanted programs (PUPs), and bloatware that shouldn't be on your machine.
Antivirus Installation & Setup
Installing and properly configuring a reputable antivirus solution so you're actually protected going forward - not just running a free trial that expired.
Security Settings Review
Checking Windows Firewall, automatic updates, and account security settings to close common entry points for future infections.
Password Change Guidance
If credentials may have been exposed, I'll walk you through which passwords to change and how to do it safely.
A quick scan misses things. I do a full cleanup - manually reviewing what automated tools flag and checking for anything they miss.
Removing the infection is half the job. I also make sure the door it came through is closed and your protection going forward is solid.
Virus removal can often be done remotely, which means a faster appointment and no need to disconnect your setup. In-home available when needed.
