Signs your computer might have malware
Not sure if you have a virus or just a slow computer? Here are common red flags.
Popups that won't go away
Especially ones that say your computer is infected and tell you to call a number. These are almost always scams designed to look real.
Your computer is suddenly very slow
Malware runs hidden processes in the background that eat up your computer's resources. If your computer was fine last week and now it's crawling, something may be wrong.
Strange browser behavior
New toolbars you didn't install, your homepage changed without your permission, or you keep getting redirected to weird websites. This is a classic sign of spyware or adware.
Programs opening on their own
If applications start up by themselves, your cursor moves on its own, or you see activity you didn't initiate, someone or something may have remote access.
You can't access your files or see ransom notes
Ransomware locks your files and demands payment. Do not pay. Call me immediately and I'll help you figure out the best path forward.
See any of these signs? Don't wait — the longer malware sits, the more damage it can do.
Call 360-379-1319 NowVirus, Malware & Spyware Removal — What's Included
Complete malware scan & removal
I run deep scans to find every trace of malware, spyware, adware, and ransomware on your computer. I don't just clean the surface — I dig into system files, registries, and browser extensions to get everything out.
Scam popup removal
Those fake "Microsoft" or "Norton" popup scams are designed to trick you into calling a fake support number. I remove them entirely and check for any malware they may have installed.
Spyware & adware cleanup
Spyware tracks your browsing habits and steals personal information. Adware floods your screen with unwanted ads. I find and remove both, then lock down your browser settings.
Security lockdown & prevention
After cleaning everything out, I update your security software, lock down browser settings, and show you simple habits that prevent reinfection. You'll know exactly what happened and how to avoid it next time.
My removal process
Here's exactly what happens when you call me about a virus or malware infection.
1. Call or book online
Tell me what's going on in your own words. I'll ask a few questions to understand the scope, and I'll tell you the price before I start any work.
2. I run a full diagnostic scan
I scan your computer with professional-grade tools to identify every piece of malware, spyware, or unwanted software. You'll see what I find.
3. I remove everything
Once I know what we're dealing with, I methodically remove every threat. For stubborn infections, I work through safe mode or use specialized boot tools to clean deeply embedded malware.
4. I verify the fix and lock it down
After removal, I re-scan to make sure everything is gone, update your security software, and set up protections to prevent reinfection. I also walk you through what happened and how to avoid it next time.
