Virus removal in Brixton

Virus and malware removal in Brixton and Stockwell is available from our Putney workshop. We serve SW2 and SW9, including the area around Brixton Market and near Brockwell Park and Ruskin Park. Pop-ups, slow performance, and suspicious behaviour often indicate infection; we clean PCs and Macs and restore normal operation with a clear quote after assessment. Brixton’s mix of residents and small businesses in Victorian terraces and ex-local authority flats means computers see heavy use. Malware can arrive via email, dodgy downloads, or compromised sites. We remove viruses, trojans, adware, and ransomware where possible, and advise on backups and security to reduce the chance of reinfection. From Putney we’re a short drive from Brixton via the A3 and South Circular. Travel typically takes 15–25 minutes depending on traffic. We offer free collection within 5 miles and drop-off at our workshop, so you don’t have to bring an infected machine on the tube. Many clients near Brixton Market and Stockwell drop off and collect once the machine is clean. Our goal is to get your machine back to a safe, fast state and to give clear advice on staying protected. Call 020 7610 0500 to arrange virus removal in Brixton or to drop off at our Putney shop.
