❓ Virus Removal FAQ
Q1: Can I remove viruses myself?
A: Maybe, but risky. Simple adware/PUPs can be removed with Malwarebytes (free version). BUT:
- ❌ DIY removal often misses rootkits, hidden trojans, registry entries
- ❌ Wrong removal steps can corrupt Windows or delete important files
- ❌ You might remove symptoms but leave the actual infection
- ❌ Banking trojans/spyware require forensic analysis to ensure complete removal
Safe DIY Approach (For Simple Infections Only):
- Download Malwarebytes from official site (malwarebytes.com)
- Disconnect from internet
- Run full scan in Safe Mode
- Remove detected items, restart
- Run second scan to verify clean
If this doesn’t work or you’re not confident, call 1300 723 628 and we’ll send a technician to your location. Our comprehensive personalized onsite service is a worthwhile investment vs risking data loss, identity theft, or incomplete removal that leads to reinfection!
Q2: How did I get infected? I have antivirus!
A: Common infection sources (even with antivirus):
- 📧 Phishing emails: “Australia Post delivery,” “ATO tax refund,” “Toll invoice” – you clicked attachment/link
- 🌐 Compromised websites: Legitimate sites hacked, injected with malware
- ⬇️ Fake downloads: Searched “download Adobe Reader,” clicked fake site in Google ads
- 📹 Fake video codecs: “Install this codec to watch video” – it’s malware
- 🎁 Bundled software: Downloaded free program, didn’t uncheck “install browser toolbar”
- 🔄 Outdated software: Old Windows, Java, Flash Player – malware exploits security holes
- 🔌 USB drives: Plugged in friend’s USB stick, it had autorun virus
Antivirus isn’t perfect: New malware (zero-day) takes 24-48 hours before antivirus databases updated. User actions (clicking malicious links) often bypass antivirus.
Our technicians explain how YOU got infected during the onsite visit – helps you avoid repeating the same mistake!
Q3: Will you recover my files?
A: YES – data protection is our #1 priority!
- ✅ We backup data BEFORE cleaning (prevents accidental loss during removal)
- ✅ We repair corrupted files when possible
- ✅ We recover deleted files if virus removed them
- ✅ We verify all important files open correctly after cleaning
Success Rate: 99.5% of files recoverable unless virus specifically deleted/encrypted them. If files encrypted (ransomware), specialized recovery techniques may be needed.
Onsite backup: We bring external backup drives to your location and secure your data before starting virus removal!
Q4: How long does virus removal take?
A: Timeline for our personalized onsite service:
- 📊 Most infections: 3-5 hours onsite, same-day service – we take the time needed to do it right
- 🔴 Complex infections: 4-6 hours onsite (may split into 2 visits for verification)
- 💾 Complete rebuild: 2-3 days (visit 1: backup + transport, workshop: rebuild, visit 2: return + personalized setup)
Why we take longer than quick scans: We don’t just run one automated scan and leave. Our personalized approach includes thorough multi-scanner cleaning, manual malware hunting, registry repair, data backup/verification, and customized prevention education. The extra time ensures YOUR PC is truly clean and YOUR data is protected!
Same-day service available: Book before 2pm and technician arrives at your location within 4-6 hours in metro areas!
Q5: Can viruses damage hardware?
A: Rarely, but yes:
- 🪙 Cryptocurrency miners: Run GPU/CPU at 100% for months → overheating → hardware failure
- 🌡️ Fan control malware: Some malware disables cooling fans → overheating damage
- 💾 Excessive writes: Some malware writes to SSD constantly → reduces SSD lifespan
Good news: 99% of malware causes software-only damage. After virus removal, PC hardware works normally. If hardware damaged, our technician will identify during onsite visit and provide repair quote.
Q6: Will my passwords be stolen?
A: Depends on infection type:
- ✅ Adware/PUPs: Unlikely, these just show ads
- ⚠️ Trojans: Possible, especially banking trojans
- 🔴 Spyware/Keyloggers: Definitely – specifically designed to steal passwords
Our Recommendation: After ANY malware removal, change passwords for critical accounts (email, banking, social media). Our technician will guide you through this process onsite and recommend secure password practices!
Pro Tip: Use a different device (phone/tablet) to change passwords while we’re cleaning your PC.
Q7: I already paid a "tech support" company $500. Can you help?
A: YES – we fix tech support scam victims daily!

Financial Recovery: We provide documentation to help you dispute charges with bank. Success rate: 70-80% for credit card chargebacks.
Q8: Can viruses spread to my phone/tablet?
A: Unlikely from Windows PC infection, BUT:
- ✅ Windows viruses can’t infect iPhones/Android (different operating systems)
- ⚠️ Email/social media spreading: If malware sent spam from your email, friends might get infected
- ⚠️ Shared accounts: If passwords stolen, criminals might access your phone through iCloud/Google account
- ⚠️ Network-based malware: Some sophisticated malware spreads through WiFi to attack routers
Our Approach: During the onsite visit, we check your home network security as part of removal process. We recommend changing WiFi password after major infections.
Q9: What if the infection comes back?
A: 7-day callback warranty – we return FREE if needed!
- ✅ If virus symptoms return within 7 days, call us immediately
- ✅ We send technician back to your location at no charge
- ✅ We re-clean thoroughly and identify why reinfection occurred
- ✅ You don’t pay again – warranty covers callback visit
Reinfection rare: Only 2-3% of customers experience reinfection (usually because they re-downloaded the same malicious program or clicked same phishing link). We educate you during service to prevent this!
