Malware / Virus Removal

Viruses and Spyware tend to be a problem on virtually all Windows computers around the globe. We can gladly fix your computer up when you run into problems in this area.

One of the most important things in dealing with malware is finding out how it infect your computer. After we remove malware from computers, we like to take the time to help educate our customers both in the programs that we have installed on their computer, and some good habits to follow when on the Internet.

Below are some links to some excellent free programs that can help you keep your computer clean and malware free.

Spybot Search and Destroy - Spybot - Search & Destroy detects and removes spyware, a relatively new kind of threat not yet covered by common anti-virus applications. Spyware silently tracks your surfing behaviour to create a marketing profile for you that is transmitted without your knowledge to the compilers and sold to advertising companies. If you see new toolbars in your Internet Explorer that you haven't intentionally installed, if your browser crashes inexplicably, or if your home page has been "hijacked" (or changed without your knowledge), your computer is probably infected with spyware. Even if you don't see the symptoms, your computer may be infected, because more and more spyware is emerging. Spybot-S&D is free, so there's no harm giving it a try to see if something has invaded your computer.

It can often cure the problem of lost connections after the removal of Adware components or improper uninstall of firewall applications or other tools that modify the XP network and Winsock settings.
