Malware Removal

Since it is actually Unix under the hood, OS X has some native protection against the worst types of viruses. But the problem these days isn’t viruses that completely break your computer, it’s spyware, crapware, and adware that sneaks onto your computer, hijacks your browser, inserts ads, and tracks what you are looking at. And much of it is legal, because you get tricked into clicking the wrong thing during an installer.

Malware can be very dangerous! Thieves can record passwords, hack into your computer, prevent you from using your Mac or even hold your data ransom!

Once you have a malware infection, it can be very difficult to remove. Don’t worry though, we can help!
