Hollywood virus, malware, and browser-hijacker cleanup. Same-day in most cases.
If your Hollywood computer is showing fake virus warnings, weird browser pages, or unexpected popups, you've probably caught something. We do a full clean, restore your browser and email, and harden the machine so it doesn't happen again — without wiping your files.
Hollywood is the post-production heart of LA, and it's one of the last places the work still physically happens: Paramount on Melrose is the only major film studio left inside Hollywood itself (and the longest continuously operating one), and Netflix runs its LA operation out of the Sunset Bronson lot on Sunset Boulevard. So a lot of our calls are creative-workstation work — storage and RAID, render and editing-software slowdowns, external-drive headaches — for the editors, colorists, and streamers who live and work around those lots. It's also one of the most renter-heavy, oldest-apartment districts in the country (roughly nine in ten residents rent, much of the stock built before 1940), which means thick walls, crowded airwaves, and DSL-vs-fiber install puzzles are constant Wi-Fi culprits. East Hollywood holds the country's only officially designated Thai Town (along Hollywood Blvd since 1999) and Little Armenia (since 2000) — dense immigrant small-business corridors of family-run restaurants and shops that need POS, receipt printers, cameras, and guest Wi-Fi — and Hollywood Boulevard's heavy tourism supports a strip of storefronts and short-term rentals that need the same plus smart locks.
Where we drive in Hollywood.
If you're near these, you're in our area.
We're independent — we'll work with whichever provider you have, and tell you the truth about whether switching is worth it.
We're independent — we'll work with whatever you buy. We service desktop and tower computers and swap out parts — drives, RAM, power supplies, graphics cards. Laptop repairs are more limited, since many parts are soldered in. We don't repair phones or tablets, so the shops below are where we send those — along with the closest places to buy gear.
Shopping online? For most parts and peripherals — drives, RAM, cables, webcams, routers — we recommend Amazon or Newegg. Tell us your setup and we'll send exact links so you don't overpay or buy the wrong thing.

Free, plain-English help — whether or not you call us.
No — we clean malware in place. We only wipe and reinstall when the infection is severe enough that it's the only safe option, and only with your permission.
Either works in Hollywood. Remote sessions handle most malware cleanups; onsite is better if the machine won't boot or the browser is fully hijacked.
Yes — editing-workstation performance, RAID/external storage, render slowdowns, and fast networking for post-production pros are some of our most common Hollywood calls.
Yes — the East Hollywood stretch of Hollywood Boulevard is full of family-run restaurants and shops, and we handle the POS, receipt printers, cameras, and guest Wi-Fi that keep them running, set up onsite.
Usually yes. Pre-war Hollywood buildings have thick walls and very crowded airwaves; we fix placement and channels or add a small mesh, no rewiring needed.

Hollywood is cut by the US-101 (Hollywood Freeway), with Sunset and Hollywood Blvd as the main surface routes. The 101, tourist traffic on Hollywood Blvd, and frequent event closures snarl the peaks; midday and later evenings move better.
