Start with an assessment

A warning on your screen is not automatically proof of an infection. Browser notifications, unwanted apps, account issues and malicious software can look similar. We review the symptoms and explain available cleanup or troubleshooting options for your computer, phone or tablet.

If a pop-up tells you to call immediately

Do not call a number shown in an unexpected security warning or let an unknown person remotely access your device. Bring the device in and describe what you saw. If you already shared payment details or account access, tell us. Contact your bank or account provider directly using its official contact information when appropriate.

Protection options for personal and business devices

Ask us about Surfshark, Bitdefender and OpenText/Webroot endpoint protection. Available features, supported devices, licensing and subscriptions vary. We can explain the options for your needs. Software protection cannot guarantee that a device or account will never be compromised. We may earn a commission from purchases through our Surfshark link.

Device protection is a different conversation

Covrd protection plans cover eligible electronics under the applicable plan terms. These plans are different from antivirus or endpoint-security software. If you want help understanding damage protection versus digital security, our team can explain the distinction. See our Get Covrd page for more information.

Questions before you visit?

Does a virus warning mean my phone is infected?

Not necessarily. A browser page or notification can display a frightening warning without proving that your device has malware. Do not install software or pay someone based only on an unexpected pop-up.

Can you remove unwanted apps and pop-ups?

We can assess unwanted software, apps, browser notifications and related problems, then explain the available cleanup options for your device.

Do you offer business endpoint protection?

Ask our team about OpenText/Webroot endpoint protection and the available options for your business devices. The suitable product and licensing depend on your setup.

Is a VPN the same as antivirus?

No. A VPN and antivirus address different security needs. Some subscriptions bundle multiple tools, but features depend on the specific plan. We can help you review what a product includes.

Can you guarantee that my accounts are safe after cleanup?

No. Device cleanup does not establish that every online account is secure. Tell us if you shared a password or allowed remote access so we can discuss appropriate next steps. Account recovery is controlled by the account provider.
