Most of the problems people bring us share the same cause. A machine that's slowed to a crawl. A computer that won't boot properly. Searches that redirect to websites you never asked for. Accounts hacked, and friends telling you they've received spam from your address.
Viruses and spyware are usually behind all of it ??? and beyond the day-to-day frustration, they put your personal information and your files at genuine risk.
Budget Computer Repairs can get you back ahead of the curve.
We use professional removal tools, kept current with the threats actually circulating right now rather than the ones that were a problem last year. In most cases, that's enough to find the infection, remove it cleanly, and leave your system and your files intact.
Occasionally an infection is rooted deeply enough that removal alone can't be trusted. When that happens, the safe course is to back up your data, format the drive and reinstall ??? and we'll tell you plainly if that's what your machine needs, rather than patching over something that will come back. We back up and restore your files as part of the job.
Once the machine is clean, we'll set it up so it stays that way: proper antivirus in place, updates configured, and a few minutes of straight advice on what to avoid.
Viruses and Spyware are often the cause of slow-running machines, failure to boot properly, redirects to websites, hacked contacts or accounts, and spam sent from your account.
Viruses and spyware could lead to security issues and data loss.
Budget Computer Repairs can help you get ahead of the security curve.
Most of the time, we use special tools with up-to-date knowledge of the viruses/threats that are circulating in the computer world, and we can remove them, but in some cases the virus/spyware may be so deeply rooted that the only way to securely remove the virus(s) and save your data from corruption is to perform a backup and format/reinstall.
