Why Choose Our Ransomware Removal Melbourne Service?
Never Recommend Paying First
We exhaust every legitimate recovery option — VSS snapshots, free decryptors, backup recovery — before ever considering ransom payment. Paying does not guarantee file recovery and encourages further attacks.
Complete Eradication, Not Just Removal
We remove the ransomware, all associated malware components and any backdoors left by the attacker. A superficial cleanup leaves your system vulnerable to immediate reattack.
On-Site Response — Act Fast
Ransomware incidents require immediate response. The longer an infected machine runs, the more files are encrypted. We provide same-day on-site response across Melbourne for ransomware emergencies.
Security Hardened After Recovery
We identify the attack vector and close it, configure endpoint protection, enable Controlled Folder Access and review your backup strategy before the job is considered complete.
VSS Recovery Attempted First
Volume Shadow Copy recovery is our first step — it costs nothing and often recovers the majority of encrypted files when the ransomware failed to delete shadow copies. We never skip this step.
Documentation for Insurance
We provide a written post-incident report documenting the attack, recovery outcomes, security changes made and recommendations — useful for cyber insurance claims and business records.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Should I pay the ransomware ransom?
Do not pay before calling PC Doctor Onsite. Paying does not guarantee file recovery and funds further criminal activity. We exhaust all legitimate recovery options first — VSS snapshots, free decryptors from the No More Ransom project, backup recovery — before any discussion of ransom payment.
Can encrypted ransomware files be recovered without paying?
Yes, in many cases. If the ransomware failed to delete Windows Volume Shadow Copies (VSS), we can often recover the majority of encrypted files from VSS snapshots. In addition, free decryptors are available for some ransomware variants through trusted organisations such as the No More Ransom Project. We assess every case on-site before recommending whether data recovery is possible or whether any other recovery options should be considered.
What should I do immediately if I see a ransomware message?
Disconnect the device from your network immediately — unplug the ethernet cable and disable Wi-Fi. Do not restart the PC. Contact PC Doc Onsite immediately or call 1300 723 626. Every second the device stays connected to the network increases the risk of the ransomware spreading to other devices and encrypting additional files.

I then called PC Doctor Onsite, and the experience was completely different. The technician was very knowledgeable, fixed my laptop issue quickly, and gave me honest, fair advice without trying to rip me off. I’m very pleased with the service and would highly recommend them.
The technician arrived promptly at the scheduled time, ensuring that there was minimal disruption to my day. They took the time to thoroughly assess the issue with my computer, carefully explaining the problem and the steps needed to resolve it. The technician's knowledge was apparent, and they patiently answered all my questions, providing clear explanations for any technical terms that I wasn’t familiar with.
