Viruses, malware, hackers β€” we shut them down.

Complete Device Security

From malware removal to full network lockdown, Water Bury Phones has the tools and expertise to keep your devices and data protected.

🦠

Virus & Malware Removal

Complete scan and removal of viruses, trojans, worms, and all malicious software from your device. We eliminate threats at the root and verify your system is fully clean before returning it.

πŸ›‘οΈ

Antivirus Installation & Setup

We install, configure, and optimize industry-leading antivirus software for your specific device and usage habits. Includes real-time protection, scheduled scans, and auto-update configuration.

🌐

Network Security Setup

Secure your home or office Wi-Fi with proper encryption, strong password protocols, firewall rules, and guest network isolation. We also identify unauthorized devices on your network.

πŸ•΅οΈ

Spyware & Adware Removal

Spyware silently steals your personal information; adware floods your screen with unwanted ads. We detect and permanently remove both, then secure the entry points they exploited.

Signs Your Device Is Infected

Don't ignore these red flags. If you notice any of these symptoms, bring your device in immediately β€” the longer malware runs, the more damage it can do.

⚠️

Slow Performance

Your device has suddenly slowed to a crawl, apps take forever to open, or your system freezes frequently. Malware running in the background consumes CPU and memory, degrading everything else.

⚠️

Unexpected Pop-ups

Constant pop-up ads appear even when you're not browsing, or fake "security alerts" urge you to call a number or download software. These are classic signs of adware or scareware infection.

⚠️

Ransom Messages

A fullscreen message demands payment to unlock your files or threatens to publish your data. This is ransomware β€” do not pay, and do not restart your device. Call us immediately.

⚠️

Unknown Programs

Programs you never installed appear in your app list, task manager, or startup list. Potentially unwanted programs (PUPs) often arrive bundled with other software and run hidden processes.

⚠️

Browser Hijacking

Your browser's homepage or search engine changed without your permission, toolbars appeared that you didn't install, or you're constantly redirected to unfamiliar websites when clicking links.

⚠️

Unauthorized Charges

Unexplained charges appear on your bank or credit card statements, or you receive alerts about new accounts opened in your name. Spyware may have captured your financial credentials.

Internet & Network Security

Your home or business Wi-Fi network is the gateway to every device you own. An unsecured router is an open door for hackers, neighbors stealing bandwidth, and malicious devices injecting traffic.

At Water Bury Phones, we audit your entire network setup β€” from router firmware to connected device permissions. We configure WPA3 encryption where supported, set up a separate guest network for visitors, and enable firewall rules that block inbound threats before they reach your devices.

For businesses, we can implement VLAN segmentation to isolate point-of-sale systems, configure managed switches, and set up site-to-site VPN tunnels for remote workers. We recommend and configure reputable VPN services for both personal and business use to encrypt your internet traffic on public Wi-Fi.

Custom firewall configurations block known malicious IP ranges, restrict unauthorized outbound connections, and log suspicious activity.
