A pop-up alone does not prove a computer is infected. Not every pop-up is a real virus alert. Some are browser notifications or scam messages designed to pressure you into calling a number or installing software. If you're unsure, don't call the number shown in an unexpected pop-up or install a tool it recommends. Close the browser if you can and contact us for guidance.
How we help
- Review the symptoms and the device's recent behavior.
- Scan for suspicious software and check affected settings.
- Explain findings and cleanup options in plain language.
- Take care around personal files; no repair can guarantee recovery of data already damaged or encrypted.
Frequently asked questions
How can I tell whether a computer pop-up is a real virus warning?
A pop-up by itself does not confirm an infection. Avoid calling numbers or installing tools shown in unexpected alerts. We can assess the symptoms and check for suspicious software before recommending next steps.
Can you remove viruses and malware without deleting my files?
We take care around personal and business files while diagnosing and removing suspicious software. No repair can guarantee preservation of files that are already damaged, encrypted, or stored on failing hardware.
Can malware removal be done remotely?
Some software issues may be suitable for remote support, but the right option depends on the symptoms and device. We discuss remote, on-site, or pickup and delivery arrangements before proceeding.
