Computer virus?

How it works

We remove all storage media and take images that we can scan and work on in a sterile environment.

When we are confident we have identified any and all malware:

  • We will secure your data using our forensic recovery tools.

  • We will scan your media and remove all malware.

  • We will restore all your data file systems

  • We will test your system to ensure your computer is secure and operational.

Give us a call or drop us a line for a no obligation chat.

Don't panic

1. Disconnect your computer from the internet immediately

2. Try to close all open programmes

If, you are running windows and still have control of the desktop environment, then:

3. Activate 'safemode'

Type 'MSCONFIG' into the task bar search box, select tab 'Boot', from 'boot options', check the box 'Safe Mode'.

If all else fails..

4. Shut down the system

If you do not have control over the desk top environment, you may have to 'hard shut down'. In most PCs or laptops, this can be achieved by holding down the start button for 3 to 10 seconds. (devices vary)
