Common questions
Frequently asked questions
Direct answers to common questions about malware removal.
What are common signs of malware?
Common signs include pop-ups, redirects, unknown programs, browser changes, fake security warnings, unusual account activity, and sudden performance problems.
Will malware removal save all of my files?
We try to preserve legitimate data, but severe infection, encryption, corruption, or failing storage can limit what is recoverable. Backups are strongly recommended.
Should I change my passwords after an infection?
Often, yes. If account credentials may have been exposed, passwords should be changed from a known-clean device and multi-factor authentication should be enabled where available.
Can you guarantee the computer will never be infected again?
No service can guarantee that. We can remove identified threats and recommend safer settings, updates, backups, and browsing practices.
