Scam Recovery
Fake Antivirus and Tech-Support Scam Cleanup
Yes, we clean up tech-support scams in Kingwood, Atascocita, Humble and Northeast Houston. If you called the number in the popup, let someone remote into your PC, or paid by gift card, card, Zelle or bank transfer, act in the right order today.
Do this right now
- Disconnect the computer from the internet so remote access stops.
- From a different, clean device, change your email and banking passwords.
- Call your bank or card issuer directly using the number on your card.
- Then call us for a device and account risk assessment.
What the scammer may have left behind
Remote-access tools, hidden accounts, forwarding rules in your email, saved passwords copied out of your browser, or genuine malware installed while they had control. A simple antivirus scan will not find most of it.

We remove remote-access software, review what was accessed, check your email for hidden forwarding and app passwords, and rebuild your account security from a known-good state.
- Remote-access tool removal and persistence check
- Email rule, alias and connected-app audit
- Password reset order that will not lock you out
- Two-factor authentication set up properly
Getting money back
That part goes through your bank, card issuer and law enforcement — we cannot reverse a payment. We can give you a clear written summary of what happened, which banks and reporting bodies usually ask for.
