Frequently Asked Questions
Can you recover files locked by ransomware?
It depends on the type of ransomware. In some cases, decryption tools are available. I'll assess your situation and give you an honest answer about what's recoverable.
How did I get a virus?
Most infections come from clicking links in phishing emails, downloading software from untrusted sites, or visiting compromised websites. I'll help you understand what happened so you can avoid it in the future.
Do I need antivirus software?
Yes. While Windows Defender provides basic protection, a dedicated antivirus program adds important layers of security. I'll recommend options based on your needs and budget.
Will removing the virus delete my files?
No. The goal is always to remove the infection while preserving your files. I back up your data before starting as an extra precaution.
