VIRUS REMOVAL · HOME VISITS
Virus removal in Bournemouth
Help when something doesn’t seem right.
Unexpected pop-ups, unwanted programs or concerns about a virus? Friendly, practical help with PCs and laptops, with home visits across Bournemouth, Poole, Christchurch and nearby areas. We’ll investigate what’s happening and explain the next step.
Could my computer have a virus?
Unexpected adverts, unfamiliar programs and changes to your browser can be signs of unwanted software. Slow performance, freezing and crashes can have other causes too. We’ll investigate the problem before recommending what needs doing.
Removing viruses and unwanted software
We can check for malicious or unwanted software, investigate suspicious browser extensions and review programs that start with your computer. We’ll explain what we find and discuss suitable cleanup or recovery options. In some cases, reinstalling Windows may be the more appropriate approach.
A warning says I must call a number?
A frightening message in your browser is not proof that your computer is infected. Fake security warnings often try to persuade you to call someone or pay for help. Avoid calling the number shown or allowing remote access. Contact us using our usual details if you’re unsure.
Practical help after the cleanup
We can review software updates, browser settings and your existing security protection, then explain sensible precautions in plain English. We can also discuss backups and how to recognise suspicious messages. No security product can prevent every threat.
What about my files and photos?
Tell us about any important files, photos or documents before work begins, especially if you don’t have a backup. We’ll discuss how to protect them and explain any recovery options if the computer has failed. File recovery depends on the fault and cannot be guaranteed.
What will it cost?
We’ll discuss the problem, explain the applicable charges and agree the next step before work begins. If replacement parts are needed, we’ll explain their cost before ordering them.
Has someone accessed your computer?
If this follows a suspicious call, payment request or someone remotely accessing your computer, please tell us. Removing unwanted software is only part of dealing with a scam.
See our Scams & Online Security page for further guidance. If your computer has a different fault, see PC repairs or laptop repairs.
LET’S GET IT SORTED
Tell us what’s appeared on your screen.
