Cybersecurity, Virus & Spyware Removal

You can't be too safe or too protected.

Viruses, spyware, Trojans and other malware threats can render your computer useless and make your computer unsafe for banking and online transactions. We will run several programs to diagnose and remove the offending virus as well as offer you consultation on how to avoid it happening again.

Symptoms of an infected computer:
