Techore's virus removal service goes beyond just the removal of the threats to your computer. Techore will scan and repair the damage the virus' and spyware has done to your system. Techore has found that simple removal of the virus alone is not always enough especially if a system has become victim of a botnet of systems or if the system's firewalls have been configured to further allow passage of suspect packets. Additional scans, maintenance, and optimisation of the computer PC and laptop system are carried out to ensure the system is not only free of all viruses, trojans, spyware, botnet, and other threats, but also that the damage and other changes to the laptop or computer are also reverted to their original state. Further advice can also be provided to ensure that the computer (PC or laptop) which was initially infected are best protected against future viruses, spyware, botnets, and trojans.
Companies that have installed networks and have detected a PC, laptop, or server infected should consider an onsite computer support call to further test the entire network and ensure no other viruses, spyware, Trojans exist or worse still that the network has been utilised as a remotely controlled botnet. For servers that have been infected a complete re-evaluation of the processes in place for server maintenance should be considered including what anti-virus and spyware security packages are used, what access levels are in place, and what remote access is enabled on the systems. Due to the complexity and agression of modern virus, spyware, and trojans, and their removal, it is considered best to have a pro active approach to system security. This should assist in detecting, neutralising, and isolating any virus, spyware, and trojans that do manage to penetrate systems.
