Virus & Malware Removal

Virus & Malware Removal in Stony Plain & Spruce Grove

Pop-ups, a sluggish machine, or a scary warning you can’t get rid of? We remove viruses, malware, spyware and ransomware — protecting your data in the process — and we back every cleanup with our 72-hour re-infection guarantee. Free diagnosis, no rush fees.

Free diagnosis first. No assumptions. No rush fees.

We confirm whether it is really an infection before recommending cleanup work, because hardware faults and software conflicts can look exactly like malware.

Viruses, malware, spyware, rootkits and ransomware cleanup.
Non-destructive cleanup wherever possible to protect your data.
Backed by our 72-hour re-infection guarantee.

We Diagnose First, Then Fix

We find the real problem before you spend money.

There are signs a computer might have a virus — slow performance, programs that won’t launch, endless pop-ups — but the only way to know for sure is to look properly. We don’t assume a misbehaving computer is infected. Sometimes a hardware fault or a software conflict looks exactly like a virus, and treating the wrong problem wastes your money.

Our technicians are highly trained and know exactly what to look for. We track down the real source and give you the facts, so you can make an informed decision on how to proceed. If we do confirm an infection, we’ll lay out your options — and removing it promptly is almost always the best move, since delaying can lead to slower performance, data-security risks, and in extreme cases data loss.

72-Hour Guarantee

Backed by our 72-hour re-infection guarantee

It’s something you won’t find at most shops. If a computer we’ve cleaned gets re-infected within 72 hours of leaving our shop, we’ll clean it again at no charge on that return visit — and we’ll work to show you how it happened.

This isn’t about whether we cleaned it properly the first time — we did. It’s that a fresh infection on a machine we just gave a clean bill of health is far easier to trace than an old, buried one. The tighter the window, the better our odds of pinpointing the cause and helping you avoid it next time. We can’t promise we’ll always find the exact source, but you can count on us to get you cleaned up again for free and narrow down what let it in.
