Spyware, Malware, Virus,
and Bloatware Removal

Are you using your computer or is your computer using you? More often than not, updates you control and software only you want to install are the exception rather than the rule.

Mr. Box employs the "less is more" approach to your computer. The less crap installed on your box, the more likely you won't toss it through a window. We can remove all unwanted software from your device, malicious or otherwise, in order to provide a safe and clean operating environment.

• Operating System Check

  How is your operating system holding up? We'll check startup processes, installed software, browsers, tracking and telemetry, and security. We can determine what should stay and what needs to go, making sure your box is behaving itself.

• Spyware Removal

  We'll remove unwanted spyware such as browser add-ons and toolbars, tracking cookies, and other software solely designed to monitor and transmit your surfing habits or other personal information to a clandestine government agency or super evil corporation.

• Malware and Virus Removal

  We'll eradicate malicious software dedicated to obstructing your ability to use your box. This includes fake antivirus software with some creepy AI voice screaming an 800 number at you, bogus computer cleaning tools that literally do the opposite, phony search engines that play mind games, browser redirection, ad injectors, and anything else that hijacks your computer.

• Tracking and Telemetry Disabling

  Not too dissimilar to a creepy stalker, modern operating systems spy on you now more than ever. They track your time spent on your computer or device, which apps you use, what you search for, and even how you type. We can remove and disable most of these features, including stock "apps" that do the same thing, to minimize data collection.

• Startup Process Optimization

  Certain programs and apps are so desperate for attention, they want to boot up with your computer and sit in memory at all times. This reduces general performance and causes your computer to take longer to start. We'll trim these processes down to the absolute bare minimum. If you want to use a piece of software, you'll simply click on it when you're ready to use it. Otherwise, it can pound sand.

• Security and Update Check

  We'll check your security settings and OS updates to make sure you've got the latest protection. If it's lackluster in any way or behaves like a TSA agent with a bad attitude, we'll make the necessary changes to optimize security.

• Operating System Installation

  Sometimes the best course of action is to throw in the towel and start over, completely wiping your box and installing a fresh, clean copy of the operating system. Should this become necessary, we'll install your licensed OS including the latest drivers and make sure all security patches and updates are included. Don't worry about losing your data; we can backup and transfer personal files, music, pictures, and most software settings to your new installation.
