Helping my
Attadale neighbours
Because I live here, I know the mix of households in Attadale — and the kinds of computer problems that come with them.
Families
Families with school-age kids
Between Attadale Primary, Mel Maria and Santa Maria College, plenty of homes have school laptops and gaming PCs. Free game mods and dodgy downloads are a common source of infection — I clean them up and add safe-browsing protection.
Seniors
Retirees & empty-nesters
Scam phone calls and fake virus alerts often target long-time residents. I remove the threat, check your banking and email are safe, and explain what to look out for.
Professionals
Work-from-home professionals
If you work from home, an infection can put client files and work accounts at risk. I clean the device and check whether any accounts need securing.
Business
Small businesses
Local businesses and sole traders get priority callouts, a data-exposure check and advice to stop it happening again.

How I remove it
My thorough virus & malware
removal process
Being local means I can often be at your door quickly — but the clean-up itself is never rushed. Every job follows the same six steps.
01
Initial diagnostic & assessment
I start by asking about the symptoms, then run a preliminary scan to identify the type and severity of the infection.
02
Safe mode & isolation
To stop the virus interfering with the clean-up, I boot your system into a safe environment.
03
Advanced threat removal
Using professional-grade tools and manual techniques, I seek out and destroy malware, spyware, adware, trojans, worms and rootkits.
04
System restoration & repair
I repair any damage to your system files, settings and registry, restoring stability to your computer.
05
Post-clean scan & verification
A final comprehensive scan confirms the infection has been completely eradicated.
06
Prevention strategy
I help you install or configure a robust antivirus solution and show you the best practices to avoid future infections.

your questions answered

Yes. Lark Assist is run by me, Sia, from Attadale. That means fast callouts across Attadale and the neighbouring suburbs of Bicton, Palmyra, Melville and Alfred Cove.
My child’s laptop has pop-ups everywhere. Can you fix it?
Yes. Pop-ups on a family or school laptop are often adware from free games or downloads. I remove it, reset the browsers and set up protection and safer browsing settings. If the school manages the laptop, I’ll tell you what to raise with them.

Disconnect from the internet, avoid logging in to banking or email on that device, and don’t pay any ransom demand. Then call me on 0439 965 608.
Can you check whether my accounts were compromised?
Yes. After removing the malware I review which accounts were used on the device, help you change passwords from a clean device and turn on two-factor authentication where possible.

No — I cover the whole Perth metro area. Read more on my virus & malware removal Perth page.
