PC clean-up and malware removal

The sales rep's laptop needs six minutes to boot, the price list in Excel freezes on every filter, and the fan screams with nothing open. Before your company orders new kit, let us locate the real cause. Often it is an old platter drive, 8 GB of RAM trying to cope with forty Chrome tabs, or a dozen programs launching alongside Windows. Everything happens over a remote session, and the outcome is reported in seconds saved rather than impressions.

Included in this service

Every machine starts with a performance log. Only once we know what is choking do we decide what to clean and what to replace.

Talk the scope through with an engineer

Performance log

Over one working day an agent notes when processor, memory or disk max out. Frequently the offender is the morning OneDrive sync or an antivirus trawling the mailbox.

Browser

Three Chrome profiles, twenty extensions and pop-up notifications from dubious sites. We keep what somebody genuinely uses and bin the rest, hijacked home page included.

Start-up list

Printer updaters, spare chat clients and so-called accelerators that load at every boot. We disable the pointless ones and never uninstall anything without asking.

Malicious software

Adware, cryptominers, fake PDF extensions and trojans from email attachments. Afterwards Microsoft Defender is configured to stop the next attempt unaided.

Profile and system drive

A desktop holding 40 GB of photos, old installers sitting in Downloads and temp files that have eaten all of drive C. We sort it out and move data to where it belongs.

Repair or replace

When the log blames hardware, we set the price of an SSD or more memory against a new laptop. Your supplier, or a staff member with our guide, fits the part; we set up the system.

How we work together

Outside a contract we charge PLN 190 per hour excl. VAT, and the time needed depends on the state of the machine.

01

Request

You describe the symptoms through the form or by email: which machine, what drags, since when.

02

Diagnosis

The employee opens a link to the agent, and for a day we gather data silently, without hovering over their shoulder.

03

Clean-up

We book a session at a quiet moment, lunchtime for instance, and tidy up with screen sharing switched on.

04

Report

A short summary covering boot time, memory usage and how quickly a typical file opens, before and after our changes.

Move the mess onto a new laptop and within six months it crawls again. A like-for-like profile copy drags along the toolbars, the trio of updaters and the speed-up tool that nags you to buy its premium edition. So even when hardware is being swapped we tidy first, and only data plus the programs people rely on make the journey.

Questions and answers

If the log shows the machine stalling on a platter drive, it is usually the best-value upgrade there is: an SSD noticeably shortens boot time and app launches. It is pointless when the laptop has 4 GB of soldered memory or a processor Windows 11 will not support. Then we say plainly that a replacement belongs in next year's budget.

Pull the network cable or switch Wi-Fi off, keep the computer powered on, and email us. We reset passwords and revoke Microsoft 365 sessions remotely, scan the machine with several independent tools and look for data heading out. Where personal data may have leaked, we help you decide whether the breach must go to UODO, the Polish data protection authority, within 72 hours, and whether to report the incident to CERT Polska.

No. A session only opens once the employee accepts it; they watch everything and can end it with a single click. We deal with system settings and software, not documents, and each session is recorded against the ticket.

Yes. A remote session for a private customer costs from PLN 129 incl. VAT. You run a small program and we check and tidy the machine while you follow along on screen.

Describe what is slowing your computers

A few sentences will do: how many machines, what symptoms, since when. We reply with a proposed diagnosis slot.
