Two emergency appointments daily is my strict limit, ensuring each machine receives unhurried, meticulous care.

If money has already left your account, telephone your bank's fraud line first. Engineering comes second.

Emergency clean-ups in Ascot (SL5) happen at your kitchen table. You witness every diagnostic probe and what gets removed.

If it cannot finish there, I return the machine the very same day.

No anonymous back rooms. Complete transparency.

How to check a text without tapping it: https://t.co/hDH0Nu6vBH

[Berkshire IT Services @bits_uk]

“A parcel is waiting.” “A tax refund is held.” Tap here.

Both follow the exact same predatory script: manufacture urgency to harvest card details.

Verify the domain before your finger touches the glass. Never trust the link in the message.

Why the pop-ups come back: https://t.co/0KO550gFws

[Berkshire IT Services @bits_uk]

A Windows reset rewrites system binaries. It does not cleanse everything you signed into.

That is why malicious pop-ups often return days later, hiding in browser sync profiles and startup tasks.

Quiet inspection finds what survived.

What is honestly recoverable: https://t.co/hDH0Nu6vBH

[Berkshire IT Services @bits_uk]

Ransomware, honestly.

If the machine still switches on there is something to work with. If it does not, I will not pretend otherwise.

And I will never tell you the files are safe to pay for.

Has money left your account in the last hour?

Ring your bank's fraud line before anyone else, including me. Inside the hour a payment can still be pulled back: 01344 935008 is for the machine.

Action Fraud takes the report.

One click is rarely the expensive part.

Clicked and closed the tab? You are probably fine.

Rang the number, or let someone connect? That is where the money goes. Say so first when you ring me.

What I check after a "support" call: https://t.co/hDH0Nu6vBH

[Berkshire IT Services @bits_uk]

Check your Apps list for AnyDesk, TeamViewer or Quick Assist that you did not install.

That is how a scam call comes back a month later, quietly.

Remove it, then change the password for anything you were signed into while they watched.

The written version: https://t.co/hDH0Nu5XM9

[Berkshire IT Services @bits_uk]

That full-screen warning says your PC is infected and gives you a number to ring.

Microsoft does not phone you. Nobody legitimate does.

Mostly it is a web page, not a scan. Switch the machine off, then ring a number you looked up yourself.
