Common Concerns

Will My Data Be Lost?

We always backup important data before removal whenever possible. Your critical files are preserved, then restored safely after cleanup.

Can You Guarantee Removal?

We use industry-leading tools to ensure complete removal. However, some advanced threats (especially rootkits) are hard to detect – we perform thorough scans and follow-ups to catch hidden issues.

Is Remote Cleaning Safe?

We use a secure, encrypted connection to perform remote fixes. In cases of severe infection or ransomware, we recommend on-site intervention because “serious malware problems or ransomware infections” carry extra risks if handled remotely.

What If the Virus Returns?

We don’t just clean – we identify how the virus entered (phishing email, USB drive, etc.) and close that door. Our hardening process and training (if needed) help prevent reinfection.

How Much Will This Cost?

We offer transparent pricing. For urgent removal, we provide an estimate after initial diagnosis. Often, we can clean infections quickly and affordably, especially compared to the cost of data loss or paying a ransom.

Not sure if you meet all of these?
That’s why we’re here.

Our team will evaluate your business, fill in the gaps, and guide you from application to approval — and beyond.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Common vectors include email attachments, malicious downloads, infected USB drives, or vulnerabilities in software. We help you close these gaps (e.g. patching, user training).

Yes. In addition to removal, we recommend continuous managed IT security and endpoint protection services (see our Cyber Security page). This ensures threats are blocked before infection.

It depends on severity. Simple infections on a single PC can take a few hours; enterprise networks with widespread infection may take a day or more. We provide emergency escalation for fastest service.

Disconnect from the internet to prevent spread, then call us. Avoid using the infected machine or plugging in USB drives – we’ll handle containment safely.

We maintain secure backups so even if ransomware encrypts your files, we can restore from backups. (Without backups, recovery is very difficult unless a decryptor is available.)

We have worked with MetroTech longer than I can remember and they have always gone above and beyond to keep our remote sites running. Just now, the owner himself came on site to resolve some power issues throughout our network and install failover to a mobile network within an hour of our local crew getting on site themselves. I highly recommend them to anyone in their service area.

Just a quick note letting you know that Dylan did a great job hooking us up to our new internet provider. He was very polite and knowledgeable. I felt bad that he had to deal with WOW'S tech support. You have a great company and employees. We are lucky to have your company taking care of our technology needs.

Bringing Eric and Donuvin into our in house departmental discussion of plans - both those we are doing solo and with Metro Tech - is a confirmation of why we are working with them to begin with: mutual respect and trust. So glad we have a partnership with Metro Tech.
