Who I help
across Cockburn
Cockburn is a mix of young families in newer estates, established coastal suburbs and a large industrial and trade base. Each has its own risks.
Families
Young families in new estates
Suburbs like Hammond Park, Treeby and Aubin Grove are full of busy households with lots of connected devices. I clean infected computers and set up protection for the whole family.
Trades
Trades & industrial businesses
Workshops and suppliers in Bibra Lake, Henderson and Jandakot rely on email, invoicing and accounting software. An infection can stop work — business callouts are prioritised.
Home offices
Home-based businesses
Sole traders and home offices are a favourite target for invoice scams and email compromise. I remove the malware and help secure your email so it can’t be used against your customers.
Seniors
Retirees & seniors
From Spearwood to Coogee, fake tech-support calls and scary pop-ups target older residents. I fix the computer and explain the warning signs in plain English.
Warning signs
Signs your computer has
a virus or malware
Whether you’re in Success, Spearwood or Coogee, these are the warning signs to watch for. If you see them, stop using the device for banking and get it checked.
01
Sluggish performance
Your computer takes forever to start up or open programs.
02
Pop-up ads and fake alerts
You’re bombarded with ads, security warnings or fake system alerts, even when you’re not using a web browser.
03
Unknown programs or toolbars
New software appears that you didn’t install.
04
Your browser acts strangely
Your homepage has changed, new toolbars appear, or you’re redirected to unknown websites.

Crashes and freezes
Applications, or your entire system, crash frequently.
06
Missing files or ransom notes
Files disappear, or a message demands payment to unlock your computer (ransomware).
How I remove it
My thorough virus & malware
removal process
Cockburn homes and businesses get the same thorough, six-step process — delivered on-site or through secure remote access.
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.
