Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about virus removal in Hawick, 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.
Plenty of virus removal jobs in Hawick are sorted on the same day, during the visit or at our Edinburgh workshop. If a part is needed, we say how long it will take. 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 TD9 — High Street, Commercial Road, Bourtree Place — and keep you updated by message until the computer is back with you.
Yes — we cover the full TD9 postcode area. That includes High Street, Commercial Road, Bourtree Place, the Teviot side, Sandbed, Wilton, and the rest of central Hawick. You can drop it at our Edinburgh workshop, post it in, or book a home visit or a collection; in Hawick visits and collections are by appointment and a travel fee applies.
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.
Not from the cleaning itself. Your personal files are backed up before we begin, and only the malicious programs and what they installed are removed. If ransomware has already encrypted files, we look for backups, cloud copies and previous versions before anything else.
Yes — ransomware removal is a service we provide regularly for Hawick 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 TD9 customers.
Common signs we see in Hawick: 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 TD9-area home visit and we'll check.
Yes — after a virus cleanup we leave your Hawick 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.
