Most malware virus programs are designed to be hard to remove. Malware often embeds itself in windows, hiding its files or modifying system files with its own code. This makes it very hard for the average user to remove; special utilities are often required which can unmask the virus allowing for its deletion. Through years of experience we can remove the infestation without destroying your data. Your data is important; let us do the job.

The number of computer viruses are increasing every year. If your computer is running slowly, displaying popup ads or just acting strangely, you probably have some form of malware. Simply installing an anti virus program after the fact will not fix the problem because malware will prevent antivirus programs from removing it. We use specially developed in-house utilities to remove the infestation and get your computer running smoothly. With our in-house utilities we can often remove malware without needing to perform a fresh installation of windows. This saves you from reinstalling all your applications. Once the malware is removed and your computer is repaired we install anti-malware software to protect your computer from future infection.

How was I infected
Malware can come from many sources including malicious banner ads, spam, infected websites, or “free” applications. Lately I’ve noticed rise in fraudulent Anti Virus programs such as XP Anti virus 2008/2009, MS Anti virus, and AntiSpyware 2008. These fake anti virus programs are frequently downloaded from ad banners claiming to remove nonexistent malware from your computer. Once downloaded it will often hijack the computer and force the user to enter their credit card information.

Laptop Cleaning Service

Keep your laptop in good health with our laptop cleaning service. We offer a fast, same-day service for all makes and models. Our laptop fan cleaning services are vital for ongoing computer health. If your machine is older than two years, and has never had its fans cleaned, it’s likely to need them doing.

Your laptop fan is responsible for cooling the vital components packed tightly inside the case. It blows the hot air, generated by the working elements of the computer, out through the air vents. But air isn’t the only thing passing through those vents. Over time, tiny particles of dust and dirt, sucked into the machine by the action of the fan, clog up the blades.

Laptop Fan Replacement

Cooling fan gone? Our laptop fan replacement service is fairly priced and quick. We’ll even pick your laptop up from your home or place of business, and drop it back to you once the fan repair is finished.

The cooling fan is a vital element of your laptop’s heat removal system. It’s responsible for removing the hot air generated by the processor and other parts. In modern laptop designs, air is usually removed from heat sources using a ‘heat pipe’ system, which delivers the exhaust to the fan to be blown out through the cooling vents. Because everything in your laptop is packed together so tightly, a broken or faulty fan is a critical issue.

If your cooling system goes, an expensive laptop can become junk in just a couple of hours. Our fan repair services are here to stop that happening.
