Virus & Malware Removal
If a computer in your office is infected – pop-ups, strange behavior, encrypted files or a warning from your antivirus – Vulcan Telecom removes the virus or malware, restores what was damaged and closes the hole that let it in.
Act quickly
With malware, minutes matter. Some infections quietly steal passwords; ransomware encrypts files and spreads to shared drives. If you suspect a computer is infected, disconnect it from the network – unplug the cable or turn off Wi-Fi – don't pay anything, and call us at (205) 699-8090.
What we do
- Contain – isolate the affected computer so the infection can't spread to the rest of the network.
- Remove – clean the malware with professional tools, or wipe and rebuild the computer when cleaning can't be trusted.
- Restore – bring back files from backups and get the person working again.
- Check the rest – look at other computers, email accounts and passwords that may have been exposed, and reset what needs resetting.
- Find the cause – a phishing email, an outdated program, a downloaded file – and fix it so it doesn't happen again.
Prevention is cheaper than cleanup
After an incident, we recommend the protections that would have stopped it: up-to-date endpoint security, patches, email filtering, multi-factor sign-in and backups kept away from the network. Our workstation threat management and backup services take care of that on a schedule. A short talk with your staff about the email that started it is often the best investment of all.

FAQ
Virus & Malware Removal questions
Should we pay a ransomware demand?
Don't pay before talking to us. Payment doesn't guarantee your files back, and recovery from backups is often possible.
Can you remove malware without losing my files?
Often yes. If the computer has to be rebuilt, we restore files from backup or recover them from the old drive first.
