Virus, Spyware and Malware Removal Guelph

Computer virus, spyware, and malware removal in Guelph is a process where we aim to remove the infection.  As such, it does not cause file removal or hard drive formatting.  That being said, if your operating system is corrupted from the virus, then we would look to recover your files first and then reinstall your operating system.  Bottom line, we will look to salvage your files so there is no file loss.
