Free diagnosis · No obligation · We call you back
Sound Familiar?
You’re not alone — we fix these problems every single day.
Warning signs your computer may have a problem:
- ✓Pop-up warnings you didn’t ask for — especially scary ones
- ✓Computer running much slower than usual
- ✓Your browser homepage changed without you doing it
- ✓Antivirus said it found something — you’re not sure what to do
- ✓Someone called saying your ‘computer is hacked’ (this is a scam — we help with this too)
⚠ Important: Not All Warnings Are Real
Many ‘virus alerts’ you see on screen are fake scam warnings designed to make you panic and call a fake tech support number. If you see a scary pop-up telling you to call a phone number — do not call it. Call The PC Buddy first.
Common Scam Alert: Fake Virus Pop-Ups
If a pop-up says ‘Call Microsoft’ or ‘Your computer is infected — call now’ with a phone number — that is a scam. Microsoft never calls you. Real virus alerts come from your antivirus program, not websites. Close the tab, do not call the number, and reach out to us instead.

Signs Your Computer May Have a Virus or Malware
Suddenly Much Slower
Your computer used to be fast and now everything takes forever. Viruses often run hidden programs that steal your computer’s power.
Strange Pop-Ups Everywhere
You see warning windows you didn’t ask for, especially ones telling you to call a number. This is almost always malware.
Homepage Changed By Itself
You open your browser and it goes to a website you didn’t choose. Adware hijacks your browser settings.
Programs You Didn’t Install
New toolbars, apps, or browser extensions appeared without you adding them. These are often bundled malware.
Unexpected Charges
You notice charges on a card connected to your computer or email. Spyware can steal payment information.
Computer Running Very Hot
Your computer fan runs loud and the machine gets hot even when you’re not doing much. Hidden mining software can cause this.
If you’re seeing any of these signs, do not call any phone number that appears on your screen. Close the browser tab and contact us first. We will safely check your computer and let you know exactly what — if anything — is wrong.
Common Questions
How do I know if my computer has a virus?
Common signs: sudden slowdowns, unexpected pop-ups, programs crashing, browser acting strangely, or your antivirus flagging something. If something feels off, get it checked — diagnosis is free.
Is it safe to let someone remove a virus remotely?
Yes — when you use a trusted service like The PC Buddy. You give permission to connect, watch every action live, and can disconnect any second. We have no access without your explicit permission.
Will I lose my photos and files during virus removal?
No. Virus removal doesn’t touch your personal files. We target only the malicious software — your documents and photos stay exactly as they are.
Those pop-ups saying my computer is infected — are they real?
Usually not. These are ‘scareware’ — fake warnings designed to scare you into calling a scam number. Real antivirus alerts come from your installed program, not random websites. Call us before clicking anything.
What antivirus do you recommend?
Windows 10 and 11 come with Windows Defender built in, which is genuinely good when kept updated. We check yours is set up correctly as part of any virus job.
How long does virus removal take?
Usually 30 to 60 minutes depending on how much cleanup is needed. We give you an estimate before we start.
