Spyware, virus, trojan, keylogger & malware removal

Dangerous viruses, spyware, trojans, malicious software, key loggers, root kits, hijackers,  and malware are becoming more prevalant today than ever before. This is due to ever increasing Internet usage and security systems that often lag far behind. Today's malware is capable of spreading over a network, email, social networking sites such as Facebook and Myspace and through E-mail. If your computer is not properly secured and up-to-date, there are thousands of different attack vectors (security vunerabilities) available to hackers and malware distributors to infect you system.  The most common source of infection is through your web browser, such as Internet Explorer, which most users rarely update. In addition, Windows Xp, Vista, 2000 and even Windows 7 have vunerabilities associated with other Windows components which allow malware to take root and spread through your systems. The most common exploits are an un-updated html rendering engine, unpatched jpeg/png library dll's, as well as buffer overflow vunerabilities that still plague Windows operating systems. In order to eliminate most of these attack vectors, computer users have to learn to be vigilan and keep their operating system up to date at all costs. Miscrosoft Windows can be updated by simply visiting Microsoft Update site.

In addition to OS vunerabilities, there are thousands of other vunerabilities created by add on software that resides on your computer. These are introduced by commonly used software and browser plug ins such as Adobe PDF reader (click here to update), Quicktime (update here), Adobe Flash (update here) and even Microsoft Office. File sharing users are especially prone to infections thought downloads of illegal software or infected audio, avi video, wma and mp3 files.

At Metro Computer Group we have developed a number of proprietary manual techniques to manually remove most malware and rootkits that exist today. Our professionals are trained in manual malware removal, rather than automated removal offered by most other vendors. In most cases, we can remove the virus while preserving your data and valuable files. And in case where the slpware / virus damage is beyond repair, we can always salvage your data for a small additional fee ($15).  If you were a victim of a malicious attack, and your information has been compromised, we can prepare a forensic report to accompany the police report that the national credit bureaus will require. We offer forensic services to individuals as well as municipalities. Please call for more information regarding those service.
