Malware Removal

What We Remove & Fix

We use the same professional-grade tools used by enterprise security teams — not consumer antivirus software — to find and eliminate every trace of infection.

Ransomware

Ransomware encrypts your files and demands payment. We stop the encryption, remove the malware, and where possible, recover encrypted files — without paying the ransom.

Viruses & Trojans

Classic viruses, Trojan horses, backdoors, and remote access tools — we identify the infection vector, remove all components, and close the entry point.

Spyware & Stalkerware

Software that secretly monitors your activity, logs keystrokes, captures screenshots, or tracks your location — detected and completely removed.

Browser Hijackers

Rogue toolbars, fake search engines, pop-up adware, and redirect malware that make your browser unusable — scrubbed clean with browser settings restored.

Rootkits

Rootkits hide from normal antivirus by operating at the OS kernel level. We use bootable scanning environments that can detect and remove threats that OS-level tools miss.

Identity Theft Remediation

If a keylogger or spyware may have captured your passwords, banking credentials, or personal data, we walk you through account recovery, credit monitoring, and breach notification steps.

Post-Infection Hardening

After removal, we harden your system against reinfection — Windows Defender configuration, browser hardening, software updates, and security settings that close the gaps attackers exploit.

Data Recovery After Infection

When malware deletes or corrupts files, we attempt recovery using professional data recovery tools before resorting to backup restoration.

FAQs

Malware Questions

Should I pay the ransomware demand?

In almost all cases, no. Payment does not guarantee decryption, funds criminal enterprises, and marks you as a willing target for future attacks. Contact us first — decryption tools exist for many ransomware strains, and your backups may be recoverable.

How did my computer get infected?

The most common infection vectors are phishing email attachments, malicious downloads, drive-by downloads on compromised websites, and unpatched software vulnerabilities. We identify the infection vector as part of our cleanup process.

Can you recover my files after ransomware?

Sometimes. If you have backups, those are the best recovery path. For some ransomware families, free decryptors exist. For others, shadow copies may be recoverable. We assess every option before recommending backup restoration.

How long does malware removal take?

Most malware removal sessions take 2–4 hours. Severe infections involving rootkits or significant system damage may require OS reinstallation — which we perform with full data preservation where possible.
