Virus removal in Kensington

Malware incidents in Kensington are often first noticed as browser redirects, unusual account prompts, or systems that suddenly slow down. We investigate quickly and remove malicious software without guesswork. Our W8 workflow includes threat removal, persistence checks, and security hardening so the same infection route is less likely to recur. Where required, we also help reset compromised credentials and verify mailbox rules. Depending on urgency, we can provide remote intervention, onsite support, or collection to complete deeper clean-up in the workshop. Read more on the virus removal service and our Kensington page.
