Frequently asked questions
- Is the pop-up on my screen a real virus?
- Usually not. Most flashing alerts that demand you call a phone number are fake scare pages designed to trick you. We can confirm what is happening and clean up anything actually on your computer.
- Should I call the number on the pop-up?
- No. Never call numbers shown on unsolicited virus warnings. Call a trusted local technician instead so you are not connected to an overseas scam call center.
- Can you help remotely or in my home?
- Yes. Many scam pop-ups can be resolved with a remote session. In-home visits are available across Belleville, IL 62221 and the Metro East when hands-on help is easier.
