Virus & Scam Removal for homes in Ponsonby
Housing here is dominated by timber villas and bungalows, many renovated, with long central hallways and additions out the back. Wi-Fi from a router in the front room rarely reaches the kitchen or a studio at the bottom of the garden. Herne Bay and Westmere also have larger homes where wired access points, outdoor coverage and a tidy home office make the biggest difference.

Visiting sites in Ponsonby
Parking on narrow villa streets is tight, especially near Ponsonby Road on weekends, so a driveway or a quiet side street helps. Older homes often have limited ceiling space and low subfloors, which affects where cable can run, so we check both before pricing any cabling work.
We work right across the area, including:
Signs it's time to book
- Someone called and got onto your computer
- Friends are getting emails you did not send
- The computer has suddenly become very slow
Before we arrive
- Your bank's contact, if you shared card or bank details
- The affected computer, turned off if a scammer was on it
- A list of accounts you used on that computer
Pricing
Each 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.

Yes. We cover Ponsonby, Grey Lynn, Kingsland, Herne Bay, Westmere, St Marys Bay and the surrounding streets, for shops, cafes, studios and offices as well as homes.
