Quick answer

If your computer is suddenly slow, shows pop-ups, redirects your browser or won't start Windows properly, we check it for malware and system faults, remove what we find and install the latest updates. If Windows is badly damaged, we recommend a clean reinstall after backing up your files. You approve the quote before we begin.

Gave a caller remote access or typed in bank details?Disconnect the computer from the internet now and don’t use it for banking. From another phone, call your bank to block cards and UPI, then change your important passwords from a device you trust. Report the fraud on the national cyber crime helpline 1930 or at cybercrime.gov.in. Then bring the computer in for checking.

Does my computer have a virus?

These are the most common warning signs. Some can also come from hardware faults, which is why we check first.

  • Pop-up adverts, even when no browser is open
  • Browser home page or search engine changed by itself
  • Programs or toolbars you didn't install
  • Antivirus switched off and won't turn back on
  • Fans running hard and the PC slow while you do nothing
  • Files renamed with a strange extension and a ransom note
  • Friends receive messages or emails you didn't send
  • Windows stuck in a restart or update loop, or blue screens

How does a virus and OS clean-up work?

  1. Back up first

    With your permission, we copy your important files before changing anything.

  2. Scan & diagnose

    We scan with up-to-date tools, including outside Windows where needed, and rule out hardware faults.

  3. Clean or reinstall

    We remove the malware and repair Windows, or do a clean reinstall if the system can't be trusted.

  4. Update & hand over

    Updates installed, security switched on, browsers reset, and simple advice on staying safe.

What does this service cover?

Virus & malware removal

Adware, browser hijackers, trojans, fake “system cleaner” programs and other unwanted software.

Browser clean-up

Removing harmful extensions and resetting changed home pages, search engines and notifications.

Windows repair & reinstall

Fixing boot and update loops, or reinstalling Windows from official media with your licence.

Speed & start-up tune-up

Removing junk start-up programs and checking the drive, RAM and temperatures for slowdowns.

Windows Security or your chosen antivirus configured, with updates and a backup in place.

What we can't promise

  • Decrypting files locked by ransomware. Sometimes a free decryptor exists; often it doesn't, and only a backup brings files back.
  • Recovering money lost to scams. That is a matter for your bank and the cyber crime police.
  • Installing pirated Windows or software. Cracked copies are a common source of malware in the first place.
  • That an infection won't return. Risky downloads and reused passwords can bring it back, so we explain how to avoid that.

Clean-up or fresh install of Windows?

We recommend one after diagnosis; this is how the options compare.

Virus and clean-up FAQs

How do I know if my computer has a virus?

Common signs are pop-ups, a browser that changes by itself, unknown programs, antivirus that has been switched off and unexplained slowness. Slowness alone is often caused by a full or failing drive, too little RAM or overheating, so we check the hardware too.

Is Windows’ built-in antivirus enough?

For most home users, Microsoft Defender (Windows Security) gives good everyday protection when Windows is kept updated. Safe habits matter just as much: download software only from official sites, don't open unexpected attachments, and use different passwords for important accounts.

Will removing a virus delete my files?

A normal clean-up doesn't remove your personal files. If a full reinstall is needed, the drive is wiped, which is why we back up your files first with your permission and restore them afterwards.

Can you remove ransomware and get my files back?

We can remove the ransomware itself and make the computer safe to use. Getting the locked files back is often impossible without a backup; we check whether a free decryptor exists for that variant. Don't pay the ransom, as there is no guarantee you will get anything back.

Why is my laptop so slow even without a virus?

The usual reasons are an old hard drive, too little RAM, too many start-up programs, a nearly full drive or dust causing overheating. An SSD or RAM upgrade often makes a bigger difference than any software clean-up.

Should I reinstall Windows instead of removing the virus?

Not always. A clean-up is quicker and keeps your apps and settings. A clean reinstall is the safer choice after ransomware, a remote-access scam or a deep infection, because it removes anything the scan might have missed.

How much does a virus removal cost?

It depends on the infection, whether a backup or reinstall is needed and how much data there is. Most clean-ups fall in the ₹500 – ₹5,000 range, and you approve the quote before we start.
