Good communication and skills, the problem was quickly diagnosed and fixed! Professional approach to the customer, I highly recommend Russell and will definitely return more than once! Thanks!
Russell responded to request to remove malware from our website in a timely fashion and worked tirelessly to fix all vulnerabilities and restore website. Very happy with work outcome.
Russel is an engineer for all other engineers to emulate My site was hacked again and my list of what had to be done was acknowledged. But when he got into the work he approached it, seemingly without effort, and pursued items I didn't know could be done. Russell even found items prior engineers left unfinished. I'm excited to have those hassles behind me and a level of security I couldn't imagine. He knew what he was doing and didn't leave unfinished work behind. This man is the best!
