Virus Removal

There are two important aspects of keeping a virus-free computer.

First, it is important to take appropriate steps to prevent infection in the first place. At MindSpark, we install the latest anti-viral software and make sure that it stays updated so that newly developed viruses will not infect your computer.

However, even with the best prevention techniques, it is still not possible to guarantee a virus-free computer. New vulnerabilities in the Windows operating system and in web browsers are constantly being discovered. Additionally, some viruses are developed in such a way as to try to deceive a computer user into running them. This is typical of the many email related viruses that are sent through attachments.

Spyware & Malware Removal

Spyware is a catchall term to describe malicious programs that install themselves on your computer system, often without your permission, and proceed to wreak all sorts of havoc. This problem is so common that most computers that we inspect have at least some malicious programs installed.

Problems associated with Spyware include:

Popup advertisements
Computer slowness
Computer lock ups
Loss of data

Additionally, Spyware often sends private information about you and your web surfing habits to third parties without your permission.
