Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about virus removal in St Andrews, Fife.
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 St Andrews 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 KY16 — South Street, North Street, Market Street — and keep you updated by message until the computer is back with you.
Yes — we cover the full KY16 postcode area. That includes South Street, North Street, Market Street, the Old Course side, the University quarter, the Scores, 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 St Andrews. 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 — though every ransomware case is different. For St Andrews customers we follow a tested process: identify the strain, pull the network cable to stop spread, attempt decryption with public tools, and recover from the cleanest backup if needed. We never pay ransoms on your behalf. After cleanup we strengthen the device — Windows patches, AV with behaviour-based detection, and a quick review of what got in (usually email or a malicious download).
If your PC starts behaving differently — running hot, throwing pop-ups, redirecting Google searches, opening tabs you didn't click — there's a good chance something's there. Other red flags we see in St Andrews: fans spinning hard at idle, your AV mysteriously disabled, or files appearing/disappearing. A clean Windows install is usually faster than a deep clean for badly infected machines, but we'll always assess and quote before taking that route.
Yes — "clean" isn't the same as "safe", so we don't stop there. After removing the active infection we patch the OS, update drivers, replace or repair any tampered system files, restore browser defaults, and verify Windows Defender (or your AV of choice) is fully active and up to date. For St Andrews customers in KY16, this hardening pass is included in the standard cleanup price. If we used a clean Windows reinstall, your apps and data come back too.
