What virus & malware removal can help with
Unexpected pop-ups, browser redirects, fake warnings, or a computer that suddenly behaves differently can be signs of unwanted software. Do not click suspicious alerts or call phone numbers displayed by pop-up messages. Getting the device assessed can help separate a real infection from ordinary software problems.

Start with the problem, not the jargon
Malware removal is only part of a security cleanup. Depending on the situation, the computer may also need updates, browser cleanup, password changes, account review, and safer backup practices. The goal is to leave you with a safer setup and a clear list of next steps.

Ask John a Technology QuestionFrequently asked questions
What should I do if I see a scary virus pop-up?
Do not call a number displayed in a suspicious pop-up and do not give a stranger remote access based on that message. Close the alert if possible and request help assessing the computer.
Will malware removal also fix my account security?
Malware cleanup and account security are related but separate. Depending on what happened, you may also need password changes, account recovery review, updates, and backup checks.
Do you need my passwords to remove malware?
No. You should not give your passwords to a technician. Account recovery and password changes should be performed through legitimate provider-supported methods.
