Virus & Malware Removal in Lymington

Common signs include pop-ups appearing even when your browser is closed, your homepage changing without permission, programs you didn't install appearing, the computer running much slower than usual, or your browser redirecting to unfamiliar sites. If you're seeing any of these, bring it in.

We can remove the ransomware itself, but whether your files can be recovered depends on the strain. Some ransomware we can decrypt, others we can't. We'll assess it for free and give you an honest answer before charging anything. Never pay the ransom without talking to us first.

For most virus removals, yes. A thorough clean takes 1-3 hours as we run multiple scans and manually check for hidden threats. Simple cleanups can sometimes be done while you wait, but deep infections need more time.

In most cases no. We remove the malware while keeping your files intact. If the infection is severe and files are corrupted, we'll attempt data recovery before wiping anything. We always discuss options with you before taking drastic measures.

We install proper protection software as part of the service. We'll also show you common ways infections get in, such as dodgy email attachments, fake download buttons, and compromised websites. A bit of awareness goes a long way.
