“Once again, Daryl saved the day and fixed my computer! I have used his services for more than 10 years. He’s very knowledgeable, professional, with reasonable prices.”
Virus and malware removal in Mount Vernon is one of our most common calls. Many of the infections we clean up along the Parkway start the same way: a pop-up claiming the computer is locked, a phone number, and a stranger asking for remote access. We come to your home, remove what was installed and check every account the scammer could have reached.
After the cleanup we update Windows or macOS, set up security software that stays out of your way, and show you what a fake warning looks like so you can close it next time. If a family member was involved in a scam call, we can walk them through what happened without any blame.
What to do if a scammer got into your computer
Turn the computer off or disconnect it from the internet, then call your bank if you shared card or account details. Do not call the number on the pop-up again. We will remove the remote-access software, change passwords for email and banking, and turn on two-step verification so the same people cannot get back in. Most Mount Vernon visits like this take about two hours.

We use professional-grade tools that find threats consumer antivirus misses – rootkits, trojans, and more.

Safety Education

My teenager did not properly back up her laptop. So, when it totally crashed she lost access to her English final and all her junior year school files. In a panic we called Daryl on a Sat morning. He was able to retrieve all her files and make them available for use on either a PC or Mac. We have both and were not sure which computer would be used to finish up the school year. We had the all her files by 6pm that same Sat. You will not go wrong with Daryl. His prices are reasonable and we found him knowledgeable and honest. We will be using Daryl again for any future problems.Read full review
