Virus & malware removal in Valbonne & Sophia-Antipolis
Pop-ups, hijacked browser, fake Microsoft support, ransomware, targeted phishing: for Valbonne and Sophia-Antipolis, I step in remotely straight away or on site. Complete removal, account security, a lasting shield — for individuals and professionals alike.
In a professional area like Sophia, the threats are not just pop-ups: targeted phishing on work accounts, fake emails from suppliers or HR, ransomware encrypting a machine and spreading across the shared network. Responsiveness is crucial — the longer an infection runs, the more data it steals or encrypts.
My work: precise identification of the malware, manual removal when the antivirus doesn't clean everything, checking of compromised accounts (work email, cloud, bank), control of network/NAS access, lasting protection and quick training to recognise the traps — particularly useful for teams.
For software cases (pop-ups, redirects, fake support), remote assistance often solves the problem in 30-60 min, with no call-out. For active ransomware or a compromise of work accounts, I collect the machine or come on site and secure the whole setup.

Frequently asked questions
I received a fake HR or supplier email, how do I know if it's phishing?expand_more
Check the sender's exact address (not just the displayed name), the links on hover (without clicking), and any suspicious sense of urgency. When in doubt, don't click and forward me the email: I tell you whether it's booby-trapped.
Ransomware has encrypted a machine, can it reach the shared NAS?expand_more
Yes, that's the major risk in a professional environment: ransomware targets network drives. Isolate the machine immediately (unplug the network) and call me. I check the extent, disinfect and inspect the NAS and the backups.
Can it be disinfected remotely from Sophia?expand_more
For most software cases (pop-ups, adware, redirects, fake support), yes: remote control via RustDesk in 15 min, from €30. For active ransomware or a compromise of work accounts, I prefer to work on the machine and secure the whole setup.
A message saying 'Microsoft, your PC is infected' asks me to call. Is it genuine?expand_more
No, it's a scam: don't call. They take remote control and then charge €300-500. Close the window, restart, call me. Often solved remotely in 30-60 min.
What protection for a small team?expand_more
Windows Defender properly configured + Malwarebytes are enough in most cases, complemented by good habits (2FA, 3-2-1 backups, phishing vigilance). I can train the team in 15-30 min — the human link is the most important one.
