Questions nerds often hear about Malware Removal

  • Will malware make me lose my data?

    Malware can take many forms. Many of these will cause your computer to act in an unstable fashion. While most malware does not directly erase data, you should make a backup of everything you hold dear

Rootkit Removal Portland

There’s a very specialized type of malware called a root kit. These insidious programs can install themselves onto your computer and wreak massive havoc – we’re talking remote control of your computer – they can literally engulf your entire operating system and run it like a puppeteer. Once they have control of your system, they can allow other viruses on to steal your information and destroy your computer. The worst part of all of this is that they are borderline-undetectable. Traditional virus scanners can’t pick them up because they run outside your operating system. They’re like the Charles Manson of viruses.

Virus Removal

Life in Portland isn’t always safe, despite how nice the city can be. There’s heavy traffic, dangerous neighborhoods, and rampant computer viruses. And these viruses are pretty nasty things. They infect your computer, spread to all areas, and keep your computer from functioning the way it should. They’re a lot like real viruses and like real viruses; they can be pretty difficult to remove. That’s where Nerds On Call comes in – here at home right in Portland.

Remove Spyware

What if I told you there were spies in Portland? Well it’s true, but don’t bother calling the FBI just yet. Today’s spies aren’t the dashing and dapper James Bond or the seductive and sultry Mata Hari. They’re hackers – malicious programmers writing malicious programs to do things like steal your credit card information or social security numbers.
