 I will help you in eradicating malware and all forms of virus/trojans/adware. I can answer all PC-related hardware issues. I can also troubleshoot Windows OS errors (all versions) and other software problems. HijackThis logs are a MUST for virus related help. If you do not know how to do this, I have posted easy-to-follow instructions on the Ask a Question page. Every computer infection is different, so I will give you personal instructions on how to remove the malware, not a 'pat' answer. You can be assured of a prompt, polite, and knowledgeable response in all regards.

 I can answer questions about how to remove viruses, why anti-virus software doesn't always remove the viruses, and what anti-virus would fit your needs. I can't answer questions unless I know what kind of virus you have if you need help removing it. I will need to know how much money and your expertise on computers to recommend a antivirus program. Please note I cannot help you with viruses on Macs.
