virus and spyware removal
Viruses are a serious threat to all computers, but home computers are particularly vulnerable, often due to lack of antivirus software (or outdated virus definitions), no firewall or missing security patches.
To make matters worse, it's often not obvious that a virus is present - an active virus will often make your computer run more slowly, but may not offer any other clues. However, it could be busily sending thousands of junk emails to your friends and others, using your computer a 'zombie' to perform its task over your broadband connection.
Another more recent headache is that of 'adware' and 'spyware'. This is rouge software that usually masquerades as a 'fun' or 'useful' tool, but which actually spys on your computer and online activity. Unfortunately these programs are often poorly written and can change the behaviour of key programs leading to an unstable computer, excessive pop-up adverts and large quantities of junk email.
We can quickly and effectively remove all known threats from computers in your home, as well as installing controls to help prevent them occurring again.
