Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about virus removal in Galashiels, Scottish Borders.
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 Galashiels 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 TD1 — High Street, Channel Street, Bank Street — and keep you updated by message until the computer is back with you.
Yes — we cover the full TD1 postcode area. That includes High Street, Channel Street, Bank Street, the Town Centre, Tweedbank border, the Station side, and the rest of central Edinburgh. 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 Galashiels. 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 — but be honest with you upfront: paying the ransom is rarely the right answer. We focus on safe recovery for Galashiels clients: isolating the device, identifying the ransomware variant (Cerber, LockBit, etc.), checking for known decryption keys, and recovering data from shadow copies or backups. If the infection has spread across a network, we'll quarantine other devices first. TD1-area same-day callouts available for urgent cases.
There are usually telltale signs. For Galashiels customers we typically see: search engine redirects, unwanted browser extensions, popups outside the browser, your homepage or default search changing, programs launching that you didn't install, or general slowness that wasn't there before. If your antivirus has been switched off or won't update, that's a strong signal. We can scan and clean from the workshop or come out to TD1 for a home visit.
Yes. Once we've cleaned a Galashiels machine we also patch it — Windows updates, browser updates, removal of out-of-date plugins, and a working antivirus running on real-time scanning. We check for hidden persistence (boot-time tasks, browser injections, fake services) which is what catches most home cleanups out. You'll also get a short list of habits to avoid the same infection coming back. 30-day cleanup warranty as standard.
