Malware Removal
While being less damaging than a PC virus, our repair technicians recommend the deletion of your operating system.

The purpose of this computer code is to deliver advertising to the user. This is typically an unwanted advertisement that would constantly show up on your device.
Adware Removal
The most common method for removing adware is resetting your browser. However, the adware can be a small part of a larger malicious software. In this case, your operating system will be replaced by a new, clean version.
Risks of Adware Removal
The browser or app data is often lost after an adware removal. This means that passwords, cookies, and all browser information are deleted.
Spyware
By comparison to viruses and malware, this is the most intrusive type of software. Spyware can access emails, in worst cases, this software can record all the passwords you type.
Spyware Removal
Unfortunately, 80% of people who have spyware on their phones or computer do not know it. Due to this fact, it can be impossible to remove completely. That is why our repair technicians take a proactive approach to dealing with spyware. Anytime we detect spyware, we save what we can and delete the computer’s system.
Risk of Spyware Removal
Because spyware is considered one of the most invasive malicious software, all your programs and browser data may be deleted during the removal process.
Hijack
This software is designed to unlawfully seize all or parts of your computer system. There are antiviruses available that are capable of detecting hijacks.
Hijack Removal
Hijacks can’t be removed without damaging the original operating system. That is why our repair technicians have to delete your entire system to remove a hijack from your device.
Risks of Hijack Removal
After a hijack removal process, expect a 100% loss of all programs, including games and game data as well as a 73% chance of losing personal data.
Ransomware
This software is designed to remove a user’s access to the device until a specified amount of money is paid. It is more common for the ransomer to collect the money and never unlock the files or system.No matter how tempted you are, never give them money. Once you have been a victim of ransomware, they will continue to request money.
Ransomware Removal
Similar to a hijack, ransomware can’t be removed, and files can rarely be recovered. We suggest that you bring your infected computer and other related devices such as phones, other computers, and cameras that could help rebuild your data.
Risks of Ransomware Removal
Ransomware removal results in 100% data loss and 100% program loss. Rebuilding of data is sometimes possible with other devices that may also contain part of the compromised data.

Risks of Apple Virus Removal
There is only a 1% chance of program loss if the virus removal is done by a certified technician.
Virus Removal FAQs
What should I do if I suspect that I need a virus removal? Expand
As a technologically inclined community, we are extremely “in-tune” with our computer systems. As a matter of fact, if you think you have a virus, you probably do! Think you are safe with an antivirus? Think again, there are thousands of viruses that are yet to be added to antivirus databases. Antiviruses add new viruses to their databases every day, but they are still very much behind. What does this mean for you? If your computer is acting differently but your antivirus is 100% clean, then you could still have a virus. If this is the case, go to any pc repairs shop and ask them to please delete your system and put a clean operating system in place. As a matter of fact, most data can be saved, such as documents, pictures, music, and videos can be safely saved. Unfortunately, app data (browser information) should never be saved and should actually be reset if you suspect a virus.

What are the most common types of computer viruses? Expand
Revolving viruses are the most common computer viruses in Colorado Springs today. A revolving virus is a virus that is installed as part of a program. It looks normal and does not cause concern at first. The issue arises when you attempt to “uninstall” or remove the program. The program reinstalls itself and often installs other unwanted programs with it.
I have the best virus removal software. It removes all the viruses on my computer and never fails me. Why do I need your virus removal services in Colorado Springs? Expand
Virus removal is not “just” about removing your viruses, since any good program can do this. It is also about fixing the damage that your computer has undergone from the virus. This can be similar to PTSD trauma. Those with PTSD can’t “undo” the source of the trauma, they must be guided through it. In comparison, we need to delete your computer’s memory, so that it can forget about the trauma caused by the virus. Your antivirus can remove the virus, but it can’t fix the damage that the virus caused. In other words, it can only prevent future damage, not fix operating system damage that was already done.
Why can’t I remove the adware on the internet? Expand
There is such a thing as “natural ads” on a website or in a program. In other words, if the website is paid to show ads, you may not be able to remove them with “ad blocker” or other pop-up blockers. Some of the largest brands, such as Google and Bing have natural ads that are part of their business. Even an antimalware called Malwarebytes has natural ads in their program. This is how they sell their software upgrades; you use the software with the understanding that it has ads.
How much does it cost for computer virus removal services in Colorado Springs? Expand
The average malicious software removal for most computer systems is $10-$100. Adware is typically only $10-$20, while a ransomware virus could cost up to $100 for removal. Our certified computer techs can help with computers and malicious software. As discussed on our virus removal page, we specialize in malware removal, spyware removal, adware removal and ransomware removal.
Will resetting my computer remove a virus? Expand
Some malicious software can infect your computer’s operating system to prevent virus removal upon reset. As a certified computer technician, I would not attempt a computer reset as a viable solution for virus removal. I would seek reputable computer virus removal services in Colorado Springs, such as DML Computer Repair. Will restoring a backup remove a computer virus? If you have backed up an infected hard drive, it is very likely that you backed up the virus too. When you restore from your backup, you are essentially restoring the virus back to life.
Can I trust free computer virus removal software that I get on the internet? Expand
The best antivirus software is often free; however, there are many “fake” imitations on the internet. For example, Windows Defender is a legitimate program, but someone created a fake Windows Defender email scam. Unless you are pc technicians, you would not notice the difference and fall into this scam trap. When looking for free software online, always be cautious of online scams or visit DML Computer Repair for advice. We provide an unlimited fountain of free software and information about so-called free online software.
I am having trouble removing my antivirus from my computer. Can you recommend the best antivirus removal software? Expand
Sometimes, antiviruses can exhibit virus-like behavior, making them impossible to remove. At DML Computer Repair, we recommend the program “RevoUninstaller”, it’s the best antivirus removal tool. Caution should be exercised, as there are fake versions of this software online. If you would like a clean copy of this software, please visit our store for a free installation.
I have an Apple laptop, a new MacBook Pro. I heard that Apple products do not get viruses. Is this true? Expand
A virus typically infects a registry in an operating system, specifically a Microsoft Windows system. In a Mac, there is no registry to infect, which means that your MacBook can’t get a virus that attacks the registry. With that said, Macs are still vulnerable to other malicious software that does not infect the registry. In other words, your Mac laptop can get infected with malicious software, just not the kind that attacks the registry.
