Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about virus removal in Cockenzie, East Lothian.
Every computer job is a little different, so we discuss the work and the price directly with you before anything starts. Send us a message or give us a call with a quick description of the issue and we'll come back with a clear plan tailored to your computer. No surprises and no hidden fees — you'll know exactly what's involved before you commit.
Most virus removal jobs in Cockenzie are completed the same day or within 24–48 hours, depending on the fault and parts availability. If you book first thing in the morning, simple fixes are usually returned by the evening. For more complex jobs we can collect from anywhere in EH32 — Edinburgh Road, High Street, East Lorimer Place — and keep you updated by message until the computer is back with you.
Yes — we cover the full EH32 postcode area. That includes Edinburgh Road, High Street, East Lorimer Place, Port Seton, the Harbour, Cuthill end, and the rest of central Cockenzie. Whether you need a workshop drop-off, a home visit, or doorstep collection, we adapt to fit your schedule.
All our labour comes with a 30-day workmanship warranty — if the same fault returns, we'll put it right. Parts we supply (batteries, SSDs, screens, keyboards) carry the manufacturer's warranty, typically 6–36 months depending on the component.
We work with every major brand and configuration in Cockenzie. Whether your computer is consumer, business-grade, or a custom build, send us the model details and we'll let you know what's involved.
Yes — ransomware removal is a service we provide regularly for Cockenzie customers, but recovery depends heavily on the specific strain. Some ransomware variants have public decryption tools (NoMoreRansom.org); others don't. Either way, we isolate the infected machine, identify the strain, attempt decryption, and restore from backups where possible. We also harden the system afterwards — patches, real-time AV, and reviewing how the infection got in. Honest initial assessment for EH32 customers.
Common signs we see in Cockenzie: unexpected pop-ups, browser redirects, sudden slowdowns, unfamiliar programs starting at boot, or your AV being disabled without your input. Other tells: weird outbound network activity, files renamed with strange extensions, or your CPU running hot when you're not doing anything. If any of these sound familiar, run a full AV scan first; if you're unsure, drop the laptop in or book a EH32-area home visit and we'll check.
Yes — after a virus cleanup we leave your Cockenzie PC in a hardened state: latest Windows updates, a behaviour-based antivirus enabled (Windows Defender or a paid alternative), browser caches and extensions cleared, and any persistence mechanisms (scheduled tasks, registry run keys) removed. We also brief you on how the infection likely got in (usually email attachment, dodgy download, or unpatched browser plugin) so you can avoid a repeat. 30-day warranty on the cleanup work itself.
