I had great service from the Local Geeks. The appointment was easy to arrange and I didn't have to wait long. They communicated well, including on the day to let me know when to expect their arrival, which wasn't far off the original time booked. The service was great, they anticipated my needs, did what was needed, didn't try to upsell anything and didn't make me feel like a tech numpty even when one issue I had was such an easy fix. I'd highly recommend this local business.

We provide a quote before starting work, and with our “No Fix, No Fee” guarantee, if we can’t resolve your issue, you pay no technician fees!

Can you remove viruses remotely?

Yes! Many virus infections can be fixed remotely using secure screen-sharing technology. This is often faster and more affordable than on-site visits. We’ll assess your situation and recommend the best approach – remote or on-site.

How do I know if my computer has a virus?

Common signs include: slow performance, endless pop-up ads, programs crashing, browser redirects to strange websites, unknown programs appearing, files disappearing, and your computer fan running loudly. If you notice any of these, it’s time for a check-up.

How long does virus removal take?

Most virus removals take 1-2 hours. Complex infections like ransomware or deeply embedded rootkits may take longer. We offer same-day service so you’re back up and running as quickly as possible.

Will I lose my files during virus removal?
