Viruses, malware, adware, ransomware, trojans, and more. The bottom line is they’re all software that take advantage of your machine in ways you don’t want them to. As smart as computers are, they are designed to rely on you for deciding what is trustworthy software and what isn’t.

We remove viruses thoroughly

You can’t just delete a malicious installer file you downloaded and call it a day. Cleaning an infected computer requires special software such as an antivirus program, fixing bad settings, and sometimes even recovering lost files. Clean Slate Tech inspects your devices with multiple scans to check for viruses, adware, bloatware and any other sketchy software hiding on your machine. Additionally, we configure your computer to reduce future infections while maintaining the usability you already had.

Who needs better cybersecurity?

Clean Slate Tech strives to be as flexible as possible and offers security advice to a wide range of clients. Everyone from grandmas feeling overwhelmed by their laptops to public figures needing an extra layer of protection can gain invaluable help from a proper consultation. Whether it’s as simple as putting an adblocker on your browser, making sure your employees are staying safe in their work, or getting some help turning your phone into something that takes your security very seriously, Clean Slate Tech is comfortable providing practical advice and configurations tailored to your specific needs and threat model.

Should I get an antivirus software?

Depending on a few key considerations, you may want an antivirus. Getting one is not essential, but can be an important consideration for anyone who feels less confident in their ability to browse the internet safely, check their emails carefully, or is unsure how to check if an app is trustworthy. It is a good idea to invest in paid protection rather than a free solution since free ones will often nag you with popups, pressure you to pay anyway by saying technical fluff, and potentially use your data for profit. We are not affiliated with Malwarebytes but we prefer recommending them over other competitors for how effective and easy to use they are. For smartphones, you don’t need an antivirus - but there are lots of other things that can be done to improve security. Please contact us for a proper consultation. It’s also important to remember that cybersecurity is about much more than just having an antivirus safety net. Scammers tricking you into giving away your account logins, snoops sharing public Wi-Fi with you, and data breaches of the companies you trust are just some examples that an antivirus won’t help you with much. Clean Slate Tech offers consulting that configures your devices and trains you with simple good habits to keep you safe.
