Slow Performance
Infections often run in the background, using your system resources and making everything feel sluggish, even simple web browsing or email.
Is your computer running unusually slow, bombarding you with pop-ups, or changing your homepage by itself? Those are common signs of a virus or spyware infection.
Computer Medix removes infections from both Windows PCs and Macs, then helps you stay protected with up-to-date security software and practical advice.
Modern malware is sneaky, but there are warning signs you should not ignore.
Infections often run in the background, using your system resources and making everything feel sluggish, even simple web browsing or email.
Constant pop-up ads, new browser toolbars, or redirects to unfamiliar websites are classic symptoms of adware or spyware on your system.
If your homepage, search engine, or browser settings keep changing on their own, there is a good chance unwanted software has taken control.
Fake antivirus alerts or constant warnings urging you to "buy" a cleanup product are often caused by malware pretending to be security software.
Infections can lead to identity theft, credit card fraud, performance problems, and constant interruptions from pop-ups, spam, and unwanted programs.
While they are targeted differently, Macs can also get malware and unwanted software. If your Mac is acting strange, it should be checked and cleaned as well.
We do more than just run a quick scan — we clean and help secure your system.
We use multiple tools and techniques to remove viruses, spyware, and other malware, including infections that traditional antivirus programs often miss.
When we are done cleaning, we install and configure up-to-date antivirus and antispyware protection so your system has ongoing defense against new threats.
Many infections are designed to capture passwords, credit card numbers, and other personal data. We help lock down your system and recommend steps to protect your accounts.
We explain simple habits that greatly reduce your chances of getting re-infected: safe browsing, email attachment precautions, and smarter download habits. For more details, see our infection prevention tips.
If your system is badly damaged or outdated, we will let you know when it may be more cost-effective to repair or replace, and help you decide what makes sense.
All work is performed locally by our technicians. We do not ship your computer away for weeks to a third-party center like many big box stores do.
Do not wait until your computer stops working or your accounts are compromised. Call 724-863-1989 or visit our Contact / Hours / Directions page to schedule virus and spyware removal.
