What scam recovery & security cleanup includes

You've already called and had the immediate emergency handled. Now it's time for the deeper cleanup that keeps you safe going forward. This service is for scam victims who want thorough, lasting protection.

Post-emergency computer cleanup

After the immediate threat is contained, I do a deep clean of your entire system. I remove any lingering malware, backdoors, or remote access tools the scammers may have left behind. I check startup programs, scheduled tasks, browser add-ons, and system files for anything suspicious.

Identity monitoring setup

If your personal information was exposed — Social Security number, bank details, driver's license — I help you set up identity monitoring and fraud alerts. I walk you through placing a credit freeze, setting up account alerts, and monitoring for suspicious activity.

Browser cleanup & security

Scammers often install malicious browser extensions, change your default search engine, or steal saved passwords from your browser. I clean out everything, reset your browser to a safe state, and show you how to use it more securely going forward.

Password manager setup

After a scam, you likely need to change dozens of passwords — and using the same password everywhere is what got you in trouble. I set up a password manager, help you generate strong unique passwords for every account, and show you how to use it day-to-day. No more reusing passwords.

Account security audit

I review every major account — email, banking, social media, shopping — and make sure security features are turned on: two-factor authentication, recovery options, login alerts. I help you change passwords on the accounts that matter most and show you how to spot future phishing attempts.

My scam recovery & cleanup process

1. Deep system scan & cleanup

I run a thorough scan of your entire computer — not just where the scammer was, but everywhere. I check for hidden software, keyloggers, remote access tools, and anything else that shouldn't be there. Every device you use gets checked.

2. Browser reset & password cleanup

I clear out compromised browser data, remove suspicious extensions, and reset your browser to a safe configuration. I review what passwords may have been stolen and help you change them on the spot.

3. Password manager installation

I install a secure password manager (Bitwarden or your preference), help you create a strong master password, and start populating it with your accounts. Every password gets changed to something unique and strong.

4. Identity & account protection

I help you set up credit freezes, fraud alerts, and identity monitoring. I enable two-factor authentication on every account that supports it. I walk you through each step so you understand what's protected and how to manage it.

5. Education & future prevention

I show you how to spot phishing emails, fake tech support calls, and other common scams. You'll leave knowing exactly what to look for and how to avoid being targeted again. No judgment — just practical tips that actually work.

Frequently asked questions about scam recovery

The emergency page is for right when it happens — when you have a scary popup on screen or someone is actively on the phone with you. This scam recovery service is the follow-up: the deep cleanup, password changes, identity monitoring setup, and long-term security changes that ensure the scammers can't come back.
Bring your computer, any other devices you use (phone, tablet), a list of the accounts you know you have (email, bank, social media, shopping), and any notes about what happened. If you have a note with passwords written down somewhere, bring that too — we'll replace all of them with secure ones.
A thorough cleanup and security overhaul typically takes 1-3 hours depending on how many devices and accounts are involved. I'll give you a time estimate when you call. Some of the work — like changing passwords and setting up two-factor authentication — we can do together while I guide you.
After I clean your computer, change your passwords, set up two-factor authentication, and lock down your accounts, the risk drops dramatically. No security is 100%, but the combination of a clean device, strong unique passwords, and identity monitoring puts you in a much safer position than before.
It's never too late to clean up and secure your accounts. If a scammer has been in your computer for a while, the cleanup may be more involved, but the process is the same. Call 360-379-1319 and I'll walk you through what to expect based on your specific situation.
