How we do it
We remove the malware or remote-access software, close the door the attacker used and check what was changed. We then secure your accounts - email first, because it is the key to resetting everything else - and turn on two-step sign-in where you will use it.
We back up your files before any clean-up if there is a risk, and clean the computer without wiping it wherever possible. Before we leave we show you the warning signs of the scams we see most often, so you can spot the next one.
For businesses
For businesses, a single infected computer can spread. We isolate affected machines, clean them, check the rest of the network and help you work out what, if anything, needs reporting.
At home
At home, remote-access scams and fake pop-ups are the most common problems we see. Turn the computer off, call your bank if you shared any details, and book us to clean up.
Before we arrive
- The affected computer, turned off if a scammer was on it
- A list of accounts you used on that computer
- Any phone numbers or names the scammer gave
- Your bank's contact, if you shared card or bank details
What a visit looks like
When you book virus & scam removal in Hamilton, you tell us what's going on and we reply with a time that suits you and a price. Nothing starts until you're happy with both.
On the day, the technician arrives, looks at the problem in person and confirms the plan with you before starting. If something turns out different from what was expected - a part is needed, or the cause is somewhere else - we stop and agree the change with you first.
When the work is done we test it with you, show you what was changed, and leave the area tidy. For business jobs we note what we did, so there is a record for whoever looks after your IT next.

Every virus & scam removal job is priced before work starts. The price depends on what's involved - the size of the site, the equipment, and whether parts are needed - so the quickest way to a number is to tell us about the job on the booking form.
There is no contract and no monthly fee. You book the job you need and pay for that job.
