Types of Malware We Remove

📢
Adware & Browser Hijackers
Annoying pop-ups, redirected searches, and unwanted toolbars. These slow down your computer and can lead to more serious infections.
⚠️
Scareware & Fake Antivirus
Fake security warnings that trick you into paying for useless software or calling scam "tech support" numbers. We remove these and educate you on avoiding future scams.
