Some cleanup can be handled remotely if the computer is usable, connected, and safe enough to access with your permission.
If someone remotely accessed your computer or you saw fake security warnings, the computer may not be the only concern. Email, banking, saved passwords, browser sessions, and remote-access tools may also need attention.
Residential malware issues often involve pop-ups, browser hijackers, scam calls, and slow computers. Business malware concerns may involve employee workstations, suspicious email, account access, unwanted software, and downtime risk.
Call or text with the symptoms: pop-ups, scam call, remote access, strange programs, slow computer, browser redirects, or account concerns.
If the computer is stable and connected, remote cleanup may work. If it is unstable, disconnected, or business-critical, on-site service may be better.
Remove detected problems, review settings, explain next steps, and recommend password, backup, update, or reinstall options when needed.
