Concerned About a Virus or Malware?

Unexpected ads, redirects, disabled security tools, or unfamiliar remote software deserve attention. We verify evidence before calling something an infection.

Try these first

Safe checks you can do now

  1. Disconnect the internet if someone has control without permission.
  2. Do not sign in to banking or email.
  3. Do not buy software from a pop-up.
  4. Write down what happened and when.
  5. Use another device to contact your bank if needed.
Pause if something feels wrong.

Do not call a number in a pop-up, share a verification code, or install unfamiliar remote-access software.

Questions people ask

Virus and malware removal FAQs

Do I need to erase the computer?

Usually not. A reset is recommended only when it is the safest or most practical path.

Will you sell me antivirus?

No software purchase is required without your approval.

Can malware be removed remotely?

Often. If remote access is unsafe or the computer cannot start reliably, hands-on service may be needed.
