9. Virus removal policy
Our policy is that your data is our first priority. We understand that
sometimes your data or documents are irreplaceable. This being the case we
take every precaution to insure data remains safe. All virus scans are set to
first clean infected files of virus infection if possible. The unfortunate truth
is that sometimes files cannot be cleaned and must be deleted to remove
infections from a system. Files that are unable to be cleaned of infection will
be deleted. If infection is detected and files are required to be deleted to
remove infection from a PC or server, it is sometimes required that applications
or operating systems must be re-installed to function correctly after a virus
removal process. The service provider is not responsible to re-install
applications or operating systems corrupted as a result of a virus removal. At
the customer request installation can be provided for additional fees as
indicated under standard service pricing. The service provider will be held
harmless for any negative outcome, data loss or system instability resulting
from the removal of virus infected files.
