“🧰 V & G Home Improvements is a local contracting company that knows how to build houses, but was drowning in tech headaches. Viruses, pop-ups, ransomware… every day brought a new IT nightmare. With no backups or protection in place, the risk of total shutdown was growing fast.”

The Problem

V & G’s systems weren’t just outdated, they were wide open to attacks. Every machine was exposed. Viruses caused slowdowns, ransomware locked files, and no support team was in place to help. It wasn’t a matter of if disaster would strike, but when.

Here’s what they were up against:

• 💣 Daily disruptions from malware and pop-ups
• 📁 No backups in place, meaning critical files could be lost for good
• 🦠 Ransomware threats locked access to important documents
• 🚫 No trusted IT provider to help manage the chaos

“We were in deep. It felt like every computer had something wrong, and no one knew where to turn.” – V & G Home Improvements

What We Did

We stepped in to stop the bleeding and build a safer system from the ground up. V & G needed more than a quick fix. They needed reliable, long-term protection.

Here’s what we put in place:

• 🧹 Removed all existing malware and ransomware threats
• 🔒 Installed antivirus, cloud backups, and remote monitoring tools
• 💼 Set them up with fully managed IT support
• 📚 Trained the team on secure workflows and safer online habits

“The viruses are gone, the computers are clean, and we finally feel protected. It’s night and day.” – V & G Home Improvements

The Results

With a secure IT foundation in place, the chaos is over. Now, V & G can focus on growing their business without worrying about viruses, data loss, or being left stranded without help.

Here’s what got better:

• ✔️ No more malware, ransomware, or pop-ups
• 📂 Files are securely backed up and easily restorable
• 🧑‍💼 Reliable support is just a call away
• 🛡️ Staff are confident using their systems without fear
