Malware Removal Sites
In case you feel that your system has been compromised, the links near the bottom of this page may be helpful in removing some
infections. There are no guarantees that any of these sites will remove your problem. If the first site you choose does
not identify/fix your problem, try another one. If none of these sites fix your problem, then it is time to backup all your data and load a fresh copy of your Operating System on your PC. While this sounds like a drastic measure, there is no way to “guarantee” your PC is free of viruses/malware unless you start with a fresh copy of Windows, apply appropriate updates, and then infection protection mechanisms.
If this seems like a series of daunting tasks, HNOS can perform a data backup, a hard disk erase (ensures there are no boot sector viruses), install a fresh copy of Windows (provided you have a valid license), and apply appropriate Microsoft updates, for a negotiated flat fee. To enquire about this service, please call 613-968-0840 or email: Support@hnos.ca
