Digital Security Check

Are you worried about scams, hacking attempts, or strange messages that make you question your online safety?
At Computer Technicians, we provide a Digital Security Check designed specifically for Melbourne homes and businesses. Our goal is simple — to secure your computers, devices, and online accounts from today’s fast-evolving cyber threats.

Whether you’ve been targeted by phishing emails, suffered a malware infection, or simply want peace of mind, our cyber security technicians perform a thorough inspection of your systems and help you build lasting protection.

Cyber Security & Digital Health Check — Protect Yourself Online

Your digital identity is more exposed than ever. Large-scale data breaches, password leaks, and fake websites can compromise sensitive information within seconds. Our cyber security health check identifies vulnerabilities before hackers do.

What We Check

• Password & Passphrase Strength — We test the strength of every password and set you up with a secure password manager so you no longer reuse credentials.

• Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) — We enable 2FA or passkeys on your key accounts such as banking, email, and social media.

• Phishing & Spam Filtering — We filter out malicious emails and install updated spam-protection tools.

• Malware & Ransomware Scans — Our technicians run deep scans for hidden threats, adware, and spyware.

• Wi-Fi Security Audit — We check router firmware, encryption, and connected-device lists to block unauthorised users.

• Ad & Tracker Blocking — We install lightweight browser extensions that block intrusive ads and keep your browsing private.

• Privacy on Social Media — We review your Facebook, Instagram, and X privacy settings to protect your identity and images.

• Dark-Web Exposure Check — We scan databases to see if your email or passwords have been exposed.

“Computer Technicians helped me secure my Gmail, Facebook and banking after I fell for a phishing email. They were professional, kind and patient — and I finally feel safe again.”
— Mandy K., Brighton

 

Our digital security service covers every aspect of your connected life — from mobile phones and smart TVs to cloud storage and Wi-Fi networks.

PC & Laptop Security Check

Nine out of ten malware attacks target Windows laptops and PCs. Keeping your system updated and properly configured is crucial to avoid ransomware, spyware, and credential theft.

Our Windows Security Checklist

• Windows Updates — We verify every critical update and security patch.

• Windows Firewall & Network Protection — We test inbound/outbound rules and block suspicious connections.

• Local & Cloud Backups — Set up automatic backups to OneDrive, Google Drive, or external disks.

• Antivirus Configuration — We install and configure reputable protection with real-time scanning.

• BitLocker Encryption — We enable disk encryption to secure sensitive data.

• Strong Passwords and Passphrases — Replace old or breached passwords with secure alternatives.

• VPN Setup — Add an extra layer of privacy on public Wi-Fi networks.

Our technicians perform an in-depth inspection of your operating system and hard drive, clean out malware, and optimise settings for maximum protection.

“They found hidden malware that was slowing my laptop and sending fake emails. After the security check, my computer’s faster and safer than ever.”
— George T., Camberwell

We tailor every Windows security check to your environment — whether you’re a small business needing network firewall protection or a home user wanting to secure family devices.

Mac Security Check

Contrary to popular belief, Macs can get viruses and malware too. Our team provides a full Apple Mac security check to ensure your iMac, MacBook Air, or MacBook Pro is just as protected as your Windows devices.

How We Secure Your Mac

• macOS Update & Patch Verification — Stay current with the latest security releases.

• FileVault Encryption — We enable FileVault to protect your data even if your Mac is stolen.

• Firewall Configuration — We activate and tune the built-in firewall to block unauthorised connections.

• Time Machine Backup Setup — Automatic backups of your entire system.

• Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) — Added protection for your Apple ID and iCloud.

• Firmware Lock & Find My Mac — Prevent thieves from resetting your device.

• App Control & Permissions Review — We limit which apps can access your microphone, camera and contacts.

If your Mac is more than ten years old, we’ll advise whether it’s safe to keep using it or if a new Apple computer would be a better option.

“I thought my MacBook was immune to viruses until pop-ups took over Safari. Computer Technicians fixed it and set up Time Machine backups. I highly recommend them.”
— Helen M., St Kilda
