Virus Or Malware Removal
The number of computer viruses is increasing every year. If your computer is running slowly, displaying pop-up ads or just acting strangely, you probably have some form of malware.
Simply installing an anti-virus program after the fact may not fix the problem because malware will prevent anti-virus programs from removing it. We use specially developed utilities to remove the virus or malware and get your computer running smoothly. We can often remove malware without needing to perform a fresh installation of Windows, saving you the time needed to reinstall all your applications. Once the malware is removed and your computer is repaired we install anti-malware software to protect your computer from future malware attacks.
Malware originated from programmers that wanted to make a name for themselves in the community by exploiting operating system security loopholes. Around 2002, malware started being manufactured by criminal organisations and has become a multi-billion pound industry that is based on stealing personal information, trade secrets and banking information.
Symptoms of Malware
How Was I Infected?
Malware can come from many sources, including malicious banner ads, spam, infected websites or freeware. Lately, we’ve noticed a rise in fraudulent anti-virus programs such as XP Anti-virus 2008/2009, MS Anti-virus, and Anti-Spyware 2008. These fake anti-virus programs are frequently downloaded from ad banners, which claim to remove non-existent malware from your computer. Once downloaded, it will often take control of the important registries on the disks and force the user to enter their credit card information.
Most malware programs are designed to be hard to remove. Malware often embeds itself in windows, hiding its files or modifying system files with its own code. This makes it very hard for the average user to remove – special utilities are often required that can unmask the virus, allowing for its deletion. Many companies prefer to wipe your computer and remove the infestation but we see it differently. With a wealth of experience in this trade, we can remove the viruses without making a dent on your hard disk data.
