What To Do If You Think You're Infected
Step 1: Don't Panic
Disconnect from the internet if you suspect active data theft. Do not enter passwords or banking details on the affected device.
Step 2: Run a Scan
Download Malwarebytes Free (free version is sufficient) or run Windows Defender. Do a full scan — not a quick scan.
Step 3: If Scan Finds Nothing
Some malware evades standard scanners. If symptoms persist after a clean scan result, call us — rootkits require specialist removal tools.
Step 4: If Scan Finds Threats
Let the scanner quarantine and remove. Restart and run again. If threats return after removal or system behaviour doesn't improve, call us.
