PSA: If your computer speaks to you and tells you that you have a virus, that is probably the virus speaking to you.

The best thing to do is to NOT follow the instructions that you're given

Don't click anything, just turn the computer off, and give us a call.

We see these sort of scams and viruses all the time, but they can seem very real and very serious.

So the next time you hear a random voice from your computer telling you what to do, just ignore it and give us a call.

When you have a problem with your computer that needs fixing, look local.

We're located at 3/20 Marshall Street, just across the road from Dapto Veterinary Clinic.

Do You Write Your Passwords Out On Paper?

This is a major security risk.

Instead, try this simple change.

Come up with a secret word that you won't forget. Never write this word down. Instead change your passwords so that this secret word is on the end.

E.g. You make 'space' your secret word. You write your password out as 'qwerty123'. When you use your password, it is 'qwerty123space'.

This way you can continue to write out your passwords, but even if they are stolen, they're useless without your secret word.

Stay safe online!

If you think that your computer or laptop has been compromised, don't put it off. Give it to our team so that we can recover and protect your device.

Diagnosing and fixing your device yourself can be challenging and if you don't completely clean your device, you could go through the same thing all over again.

Whether you've been hacked or fallen victim to a scam, we'll get your device clean and give you the confidence to move on.

We can also provide documentation to your bank that we have cleaned and protected your computer or laptop.

The recent MediSecure data breach has exposed nearly 13 million Australians, whose personal and medical data has been stolen.

It is now more important than ever to be careful when you or a loved one is contacted out of the blue.

Scammers may use the MediSecure data breach to impersonate businesses or people, and they may use the stolen information to appear legitimate.

If you are contacted, best practice is to stop communication and reconnect using a different contact method.

E.g. If someone calls you and claims to be from your doctor's office but they're calling from an unfamiliar number, hang up and call your doctor from their official phone line (not the phone number that initially contacted you).

Stay safe when sharing personal information online.
