Common questions
I let a "support agent" into my computer. What now?
Bring it in as soon as you can and change your banking passwords from a different device. I check for remote-access tools left behind and go through your accounts with you.
Can you recover ransomware-encrypted files?
Sometimes, depending on the strain and whether backups or shadow copies survived. I'll assess it honestly before you spend anything.
