Scam Protection Services
across the Wellington region
Online scams are becoming more sophisticated every day. We come to your home or office anywhere in the Wellington region to harden your digital defences, install preventative software, and teach you exactly how to spot the fakes before they steal your data.
Common Scams We Prevent
Scammers don't just rely on viruses anymore. They manipulate human psychology. We put technical roadblocks in place so you're protected.
Tech Support Scams
Fake pop-ups claiming your PC is infected, prompting you to call a fraudulent 'Microsoft' or 'Apple' technician.
Phishing Emails
Emails disguised as your bank, Netflix, or courier companies, designed to steal your passwords.
Identity Theft
Malicious software recording your keystrokes to steal credit card details and personal identity information.
Ransomware
Viruses that encrypt all your personal files and photos, demanding a ransom payment to unlock them.
Proactive Defences for Complete Peace of Mind
We don't just remove viruses after the fact. We implement strict preventative measures to stop scams before they even reach your screen.
- Enterprise-Grade Ad Blocking: We block the malicious ads and fake download buttons that trick users into installing malware.
- Browser Hardening: We disable dangerous tracking scripts and secure your web browser to prevent unauthorised pop-ups.
- Automated Backups: If disaster strikes, your photos and files are safely backed up to a secure, disconnected location.
Are you a victim of a scam?
If you've given remote access to your computer to someone suspicious, or entered your credit card on a fake website, turn off your computer immediately and contact your bank.
Then, call us. We will come to your home, completely sever the scammers' access, and thoroughly clean the machine.
