What We Remove
"Malware" is the umbrella term — here's exactly what our technicians check for and remove on every job.
Viruses, Trojans & Worms
Self-replicating and disguised malicious programs that spread, corrupt files and open the door to further infection.
Spyware & Adware
Quietly monitors your activity and steals data, or floods your screen with intrusive pop-ups and redirects.
Ransomware
Locks or encrypts your files and demands payment. Don't pay — call us first for emergency response.
Rootkits & Scareware
Deeply hidden infections and fake "your PC is infected" pop-ups designed to scare you into paying for more malware.
Browser Hijackers
Unwanted homepage, search engine or new-tab changes that resist being changed back.
Antivirus Installation
Once your device is clean, we install and configure proper protection so it stays that way.
Virus Removal by Device

Cyber Threats Facing Melbourne Residents & Businesses
Understanding the most common threats is the first step to avoiding them.
Phishing & Scam Emails
Still the #1 delivery method for ransomware — a single click on a fake invoice or delivery notice can compromise an entire device or network.
Remote Access & Tech Support Scams
Callers impersonating Microsoft, the ATO or your bank, talking people into installing remote-access software that hands over full control of their device.
Ransomware
Increasingly targets small businesses as well as home users, encrypting files and demanding payment — sometimes threatening to leak stolen data too.
Fake Antivirus & Scareware
Pop-ups claiming your PC is "infected," pressuring you to pay for protection that's actually more malware.
Business Email Compromise
Fraudulent "updated bank details" emails targeting accounts payable teams — a growing risk for Melbourne small businesses.
Smart Home & IoT Vulnerabilities
Smart TVs, cameras and routers with weak default passwords are an increasingly common entry point into home networks.
Common Challenges Residents & Businesses Face
Virus and malware infections create different headaches depending on who you are — here's what we hear most from customers.
For Households & Families
- Risk of identity theft or financial fraud from stolen banking and personal details
- Losing irreplaceable family photos and documents to ransomware
- Kids' devices infected through games, free downloads or social media links
- Not knowing whether it's even safe to keep using a device that's acting strangely
For Melbourne Businesses
- Productivity and revenue loss from downtime during an active infection
- Client trust and reputational damage following a data breach
- Compliance and notification obligations if customer data is exposed
- Ransomware extortion threatening to leak stolen business data

What Melbourne Customers Say
Household, Ransomware, Reservoir (northern Melbourne)
"I run a small daycare from home in Reservoir and last winter my laptop just locked up with some ransom screen saying I owed $800 in Bitcoin. I didn't even know what Bitcoin was. I called Computer Cures in a complete panic at 7am and by lunchtime a technician had driven out, cleaned the whole thing and got my attendance records and kids' files back without losing a single one. He even set up a proper antivirus before he left and explained what to watch out for. I'd been putting off getting protection for years. Never again."
Small business, browser hijacker + fake tech support scam, Dandenong
"We run a small electrical supplies business in Dandenong and one of my staff accidentally clicked a pop-up saying our Windows licence had expired. Next thing we know someone's on the phone claiming to be Microsoft, asking for remote access. We hung up straight away and called Computer Cures. They came out same day, found a browser hijacker and a remote-access tool that had already been installed, removed both completely, changed all our passwords and locked things down properly. Saved us from what could have been a really serious situation for our customer data. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend them."
