Do not call the number on the warning popup.
Fake virus warnings are designed to scare you into calling scammers. We help clean the computer, remove the popup source, and check for suspicious access tools.

- Scam popup removal
- Browser hijacker repair
- Remote cleanup when possible
Important warning: do not call phone numbers on fake virus warnings.
If your screen says your computer is infected and tells you to call a phone number, do not call that number. Many fake virus alerts are scams designed to scare you into giving criminals access to your computer or payment information.
If you already called, allowed remote access, or gave payment information, disconnect from Wi-Fi if possible and contact your bank or card company right away.
For help, call 877-774-3357 or schedule virus removal online.

Remote Virus Removal
If your computer still powers on and connects to the internet, many cleanup issues can be handled through remote computer support.
We match the cleanup method to the problem.
Many virus removal jobs can be handled remotely if the computer still turns on, connects to the internet, and can open a browser. Remote support is often a good fit for scam popups, browser hijackers, unwanted programs, suspicious extensions, fake alerts, and general cleanup.
If the computer is completely locked, cannot connect, will not start, has hardware problems, or needs hands-on troubleshooting, onsite service may be the better choice in available service areas. You can review coverage on our service locations page.
What to do if you already talked to a scammer.
If you called the number on a fake warning or allowed someone to remote into your computer, take the situation seriously. You may need more than a simple popup removal.
- Disconnect the computer from Wi-Fi if possible.
- Do not log into banking, email, or shopping accounts on that computer.
- Write down what happened, who you called, and what you paid if money was involved.
- Call your bank or card company if payment information was shared.
- Schedule cleanup so the computer can be checked for remote access tools and suspicious programs.
