What qualifies as a computer emergency?

Not every technical issue requires emergency service, but some situations demand immediate action to prevent irreversible damage or serious consequences. These situations justify emergency priority response:

  • Ransomware attack — Files encrypted with a ransom demand. Every minute counts. Do not restart the computer. Call immediately.
  • Critical data loss — Important work files, family photos, or financial data suddenly gone before a deadline or before a backup was done.
  • Complete system failure — Computer will not start at all, black or blue screen before an important meeting or project submission.
  • Account hacked — Email, business account, or online banking access compromised — requires immediate containment.
  • Active intrusion — Signs that someone may be accessing your computer or network right now.
  • Business continuity — Any IT failure directly stopping your ability to work, serve clients, or operate your business.

For slower issues (slow computer, printer not working, WiFi dropouts), our standard computer repair service is more appropriate and more affordable.

Our Emergency Response Process

From your first call to full resolution — a clear, fast process

1

We assess the severity, ask targeted questions, and determine whether remote or on-site intervention is needed.

3

Emergency Remote Access

We connect via AnyDesk within 30-60 minutes. For hardware failures in Montreal, we dispatch on-site within 2-4 hours.

4

Resolution & Prevention

We resolve the emergency, document what happened, and implement safeguards to prevent recurrence.

Common IT Emergencies We Handle

Situations requiring immediate expert intervention

Ransomware attack

A message says your files are encrypted and demands payment. Stop everything. Do not pay. Call us — we assess whether free decryption tools exist for your ransomware type.

Account hacked

Your email, business account or social media was accessed without your permission. We help you regain control, secure the account, and assess what was compromised.

Computer will not start

Black screen, blue screen of death, or infinite restart loop before an important meeting or deadline. We diagnose and repair remotely — or dispatch to Montreal.

Accidental data deletion

You accidentally deleted or formatted the wrong drive containing critical files. Stop using the drive immediately — the sooner you call, the better the recovery chances.

Active virus spreading

Your computer is doing things on its own — sending emails, opening programs, files changing. This could be active malware. Disconnect from the internet and call us.

Locked out before deadline

Password forgotten, account locked, Windows login broken right before an important presentation. We restore access without losing your data.

Business server down

Server crash affecting your entire team’s ability to work. We stabilize the situation remotely and restore operations as fast as possible.

Suspicious network activity

Unknown devices on your router, dramatically slow internet, or strange outbound connections. Could be an intrusion — requires immediate investigation.

Critical answers for urgent situations

🚨

Computer emergency right now? Call directly — do not wait

In a genuine IT emergency, every minute matters. Speak to a technician immediately.

Under 2h response 7 days a week All Canada + on-site Montreal
How fast can you respond to a computer emergency?
We aim to begin work on your emergency within 2 hours of your call. For ransomware and active intrusions, we prioritize these above all scheduled sessions. Call (581) 398-1270 directly for the fastest response — do not just submit an online form for true emergencies.
I have ransomware — should I pay the ransom?
Do not pay the ransom before consulting us. Paying does not guarantee file recovery and funds criminal organizations. Many ransomware strains have known decryption tools available for free. We assess the ransomware type, check available decryptors, attempt recovery from shadow copies, and only advise on ransom payment as an absolute last resort.
My computer will not start before a critical deadline — can you help now?
Yes. Call (581) 398-1270 immediately. If the computer will not boot, we may guide you to use a bootable USB to access your files remotely. For Montreal clients, we can dispatch on-site. In many cases we can recover critical files even without fully repairing the underlying problem first.
Is emergency service available on weekends and evenings?
Yes. Emergency support is available 7 days a week. Standard hours are Monday–Friday 9am–8pm and weekends 10am–6pm Eastern time. For after-hours critical emergencies, call or leave a voicemail and we respond within 1 hour.
How much does emergency IT support cost?
Emergency sessions start at $149 for a system crash or boot failure. Ransomware emergency and data recovery emergencies are $199. Emergency pricing includes priority response and extended session time if needed. We give you a clear quote before beginning work.
My email account was hacked — what do I do right now?
Immediately: (1) Try to change your password from another device. (2) Enable two-factor authentication if still possible. (3) Check your recovery email and phone number — the attacker may have changed them. (4) Call (581) 398-1270. We guide you through regaining control, assessing the breach, and securing all affected accounts.
Can you recover files from a hard drive that stopped working?
Often yes, depending on failure type. Software failures (accidental deletion, format) have high recovery rates. Mechanical failures have lower but meaningful recovery rates with professional tools. Critical rule: stop using the drive immediately and call us. Continued use overwrites recoverable data.
What if my emergency cannot be resolved remotely?
For Montreal and surrounding area clients, we offer on-site emergency service within 2–4 hours for hardware failures requiring physical intervention. For clients outside Montreal, we guide you to the fastest local options while providing all the information repair shops need to prioritize your case.
