How we fix your Acer TravelMate C Series
We scan the laptop from outside the operating system so the infection can't hide, remove what we find and undo the settings it changed.
We then update the system, check your security software is working and back up your files if you'd like. If the system is too badly damaged, we recommend a clean reinstall with your files kept safe.
How long it takes
Most virus removals are completed the same day.
Good to know: Never ring a phone number shown in a pop-up warning. Genuine security software doesn't ask you to call for help.
