Providing Computer & IT Support To The Midlands & Worcestershire
Spyware, Malware, Worms, Trojans...
Did you know that something can be downloaded to your PC by you (or one of the family), opening up a 'back door', exposing your personal information, photos, credit card or banking details and more to criminals just by visiting a 'bad' web site?
Did you know that your computer and Internet connection could be sending 'spam' (junk email) messages to thousands of people around the globe without your knowledge?
Some 'malware' is just annoying or embarrassing when it keeps popping up advertisements or redirecting you to 'adult' web sites but some can be downright dangerous!
Getting Clean
Removal of most Trojans and malware is possible with a reputable Anti-Virus / Anti-Spyware application* but some variants are quite difficult to detect and remove and thus require manual cleaning techniques. We have very high success rates for removing root-kits and self-replicating malware variants.

* In our experience, we've not found an anti-spyware program that will detect and remove ALL traces of ALL malware. That's why we take a multi-layered approach to cleaning a system successfully; using several different software packages and techniques to achieve our goal.
