Virus removal and slow computer fixes
A computer that has become slow, shows pop-ups, redirects your browser or behaves strangely may have malware, or may simply be worn out by years of software and a drive that needs replacing. We work out which.
Slow is not always a virus
Most slow computers are slow because of an old mechanical hard drive, too little memory or too many programs starting up. Replacing a hard drive with an SSD is often the biggest speed-up, and it costs far less than a new computer.
When there is malware, we remove it, check nothing was left behind, and help you tighten up passwords and settings.
If you think you have been scammed
If someone has had remote access to your computer, or you entered banking details on a suspicious page, contact your bank first. Then ask us to clean and check the computer.
