Computer viruses are often designed to steal your bank account info, your Social Security number, your passwords, and your personal photos — silently, while you're using your computer normally. The longer an infected computer is running, the more information it can send to criminals.
You don't need to understand how it works. You just need to bring it in. We'll take care of everything, explain it clearly, and send you home with a clean, safe computer. Dave's has been doing this for New Jersey families since 2011.

Mike S. — Princeton, NJ ★★★★★"Geek Squad made things worse. Dave restored my email, contacts, and removed the malware completely. I've been a customer ever since."
Jim T. — Hillsborough, NJ ★★★★★"Our office computer got hit with ransomware on a Friday. Dave came through fast, recovered our files, and set us up with protection. Total lifesaver."

Frequently Asked Questions
Real answers to the questions New Jersey residents search for most. Don't see yours? Call us at (908) 428-9558.
Signs, Symptoms & Basics Common signs include a sudden slowdown, unexpected pop-up ads, browser redirects to sites you didn't visit, your antivirus being disabled, programs crashing randomly, or your computer running hot for no reason. If your PC is doing two or more of these, bring it in to Dave's Computers in Somerville, NJ — we'll run a free diagnostic and tell you exactly what's going on. Sudden slowness is one of the most common symptoms of a malware infection. Viruses, cryptomining malware, and spyware all run silently in the background consuming your CPU and RAM. It can also be a hardware issue — which is why we always run a full hardware health check as part of our diagnostic. Either way, we find the cause. "Malware" is the umbrella term for any malicious software. A virus is a type of malware that replicates itself. Spyware monitors your activity and steals data. Ransomware encrypts your files and demands payment to unlock them. Trojans disguise themselves as legitimate software. At Dave's, we remove all of them — not just the obvious ones. Yes — keyloggers and credential-stealing malware are specifically designed to capture your passwords, credit card numbers, and banking credentials as you type them. If you suspect an infection, stop using online banking and change your passwords from a clean device. Then bring your computer to us immediately for a full sweep. Macs are not immune — malware targeting macOS has increased dramatically in recent years. Adware, browser hijackers, and increasingly sophisticated trojans affect Mac users across New Jersey regularly. We service both PC and Mac and use Mac-specific tools to thoroughly clean infected Apple machines. Almost certainly. Browser hijackers modify your homepage, default search engine, and redirect your traffic to advertising or phishing sites. Some are bundled with free software downloads; others are full malware infections. We remove browser hijackers from Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Safari as part of our standard virus removal service. Removal Process & Cost At Dave's Computers in Somerville, NJ, our flat-rate virus and malware removal service is $149. This includes a free diagnostic, complete removal using professional tools, application of all OS security updates, and a 30-day labor warranty. No hidden fees, no surprise charges — you approve everything upfront. Most virus and malware removal jobs are completed within 24–48 hours. The diagnostic itself typically takes a couple of hours. We'll call you with findings before starting, and again when it's ready for pickup. Need it faster? Ask about our Rush Service when you drop off. Sometimes — but not always. Some sophisticated malware, rootkits in particular, can survive a factory reset by embedding themselves in firmware or hidden partitions. At Dave's, we prefer a "nuke and pave" approach when warranted: we boot from a clean USB drive, completely wipe the drive, and do a fresh OS install. This guarantees a 100% clean slate. Consumer tools like Malwarebytes are a great first line of defense but they frequently miss advanced threats. Some viruses are specifically designed to evade common scanners — they hide dormant while the scan runs, then reactivate afterward. Our technicians use multiple professional-grade tools in a specific sequence, plus manual inspection, to find what consumer software misses. Serving New Jersey — Local Questions Dave's Computers is located at 75 North Bridge Street, Somerville, NJ 08876 — just behind the Bank of America. We serve customers from across Central New Jersey including Bridgewater, Somerset, Franklin Township, Bound Brook, Raritan, Hillsborough, North Brunswick, Piscataway, Warren, and beyond. No appointment needed — walk-ins welcome Monday–Friday 10am–5pm and Saturday 9am–2pm. We'll let our customers answer that — many come to us after unsatisfactory Geek Squad experiences. As a locally owned NJ shop since 2011, Dave personally oversees the work, you speak directly with your technician, and there's no upsell pressure or corporate script. We also use a more thorough multi-tool removal approach than big-box retail services typically do. Yes. If you can't easily bring your computer inside, just call us at (908) 428-9558 when you arrive and we'll come out to you in our Somerville parking lot. We want getting your computer fixed to be as easy as possible for New Jersey residents. We offer expedited Rush Service for same-day or next-morning turnaround on virus removal. Rush slots are limited, so call ahead at (908) 428-9558 to check availability before driving in. Additional fees apply for rush jobs. Standard turnaround is 24–48 hours for most infections. Our virus removal service is performed in-shop at our Somerville, NJ location — this is by design. Deep malware removal requires booting from external tools and running extended scans that simply can't be done properly in-home in a reasonable timeframe. Customers drive to us from all over Somerset and Middlesex County because our in-shop process produces better results. Ransomware, iPhones & Tricky Cases Do not pay the ransom. Bring your computer to Dave's immediately. We've helped many New Jersey customers recover from ransomware attacks. Depending on the ransomware strain and your backup situation, we may be able to recover your files without paying. At minimum, we'll remove the ransomware and get your system clean. Call us first at (908) 428-9558 to discuss your specific situation. iPhones don't get traditional viruses, but they do get browser hijacks — usually appearing as pop-ups saying your phone is infected (ironic, right). To fix it: open Safari → Settings → Clear History and Website Data. If that doesn't work, try installing Avast or Malwarebytes from the App Store. For persistent issues, bring your iPhone into Dave's and we'll sort it out at no charge to diagnose. Reputable free tools like Malwarebytes Free or Windows Defender are safe and better than nothing. However, be very careful — many "free virus scanner" websites are themselves scams that install malware while pretending to remove it. If in doubt, don't download anything and bring the computer to a trusted NJ computer shop for professional removal. That's exactly why we do a full diagnostic first — at no charge with any repair. If the slowness or erratic behavior turns out to be a failing hard drive, RAM issue, or software conflict rather than malware, we'll tell you upfront and give you a separate repair quote. You never pay for work you didn't approve. Yes — and we strongly recommend it. We offer Dave's annual protection plan, installed and configured by our techs, for $40/year (currently $20 off with code SHIELD20). Customers who have us install protection see dramatically fewer reinfections. We also make sure Windows or macOS updates are fully current before you pick up your machine. Yes — certain malware (network worms, in particular) can spread across your home network to other computers, smart TVs, and even routers. If you have multiple computers and one is infected, it's worth having the others checked. When you drop off your computer, mention your home network situation and we can advise whether to scan your other devices as well.More Ways Dave's Can Help
