 I know, that sounds funny coming from the owner of a remote computer troubleshooting service, but as a computer virus removal specialist, I get calls on a regular basis here in Honolulu Hawaii to remove computer viruses from Windows and Apple/Mac computers after the remote computer client has cancelled the remote computer service. 
 
Now, my observation could be skewed, since I'm only contacted after a computer user cancels an unethical remote computer service and now has a computer infected with viruses and spyware. I try to keep an open mind and as a Christian, give people the benefit of the doubt. However, when I was looking for a PayPal alternative to collect payments for my remote computer troubleshooting service, I checked with an online payment collection service called 2CheckOut. At the time I contacted 2CheckOut and possibly still, they did not allow remote computer service businesses to use their payment collection service due to complaints about the remote computer service companies. This remains evidence to me that it's not just my circumstances which leads me to the conclusion that most remote computer assistance companies are unethical in their dealing with their remote clients. 
 

Why Do Unethical Remote Computer Support Service Companies Drop Viruses on Customers Computers? 

 
This happens either during a trial period for the remote computer service to create a need for the service or when you're near the end of the one year contract and decide not to renew. The hope with the latter being you'll contract the company for another year so they'll remove the infection.  
 

What Do I Do After Dismissing a Remote Computer Support Service Company? 

 
One of my in home computer clients in Aiea contacted a remote computer service company. He didn't know I had one because he didn't need the service. I recall him being somewhat embarrassed after I told him I had a remote computer service. I assured him it wasn't a problem, but I did explain to him I didn't tell him about my remote computer service because I didn't think he needed it. He agreed and cancelled his trial. The next thing he did was to have me do a deep professional check of his PC. I found several programs that would have attacked his computer and cost him a lot more money to remove and repair later on if he wouldn't have had me check his computer right away.  
 
 A regular computer repair person would have probably missed the Trojan viruses and spyware on his computer. That's why you need a computer virus removal specialist to check your computer after canceling a remote computer service contract.

What NOT to Do When You May Have Computer Viruses and Spyware 

 
Do not have your nephew who knows a little more about computers than you do to attempt to remove viruses designed by professional hackers. 

Do not type in any usernames or passwords. There may be keystroke loggers sending information to hackers to steal your identity. 

Do not take your computer to a big box discount electronic store. These poor techs have at least 10 computers each and a minimum time to repair or wipe the hard drive, thus making you a victim twice since you lose all your pictures and work files. If the issue is hardware and the techs run out of time they'll ship it to the manufacturer and you may still lose all your pictures and work files. 

Do not let anyone wipe your hard drive to remove computer viruses and spyware thus making you a victim twice since you lose all your pictures and work files. I have at least one "competitor" who claims to remove viruses but, resets the victim's computer to manufacturer settings thus losing all pictures and work files. 
 

What to Do If You Might Have Computer Viruses and Spyware
