Warning signals

Small symptoms can point to a bigger problem.

One sign does not always mean infection. Several appearing together are a good reason to stop, disconnect and have the machine checked.

01

Unexpected pop-ups

Ads or warnings appear outside the sites you are visiting.

02

Browser changes

Your homepage, searches or extensions change without permission.

03

Unknown activity

Programs launch, settings move or accounts behave in unfamiliar ways.

04

Sudden slowdown

The computer becomes busy, hot or unstable without a clear cause.

Removal protocol

Contain. Clean. Harden.

Removing a suspicious file is only one part of the job. The system has to be checked as a whole.

  1. 01 / Contain

    Stop the spread

    Limit harmful activity and protect the machine from further exposure while it is assessed.

  2. 02 / Detect

    Find what is hiding

    Inspect the system for malware, trackers, hijackers and the changes they leave behind.

  3. 03 / Remove

    Clean the system

    Remove unwanted software and repair affected settings without sacrificing your legitimate files.

  4. 04 / Prevent

    Reduce the next risk

    Review protections and safer habits so the same route is harder to exploit again.
