PC Scientist · Maitland · Cybersecurity help
Your dad in East Maitland rings to say the computer told him to call Microsoft, and he did. Now someone has been on his screen for twenty minutes and he is not sure what they saw. That is a common Maitland call, and it can be calmed down.
We disconnect what the caller left behind, checks the accounts they could have reached, and help your family put safer settings in place. Request a call back and we will ring at a time that suits, or call 0493 563 381 now.

Cybersecurity help · Maitland
Remote access scams hit Maitland homes hard because they feel so official. We find what was installed, remove it, check banking and email, and show the household the signs that give the next fake call away.
We help households and small workplaces through East Maitland, Metford and Ashtonfield, out to Rutherford and Aberglasslyn, and further along to Kurri Kurri and Cessnock. A remote check can start before the drive when an account needs locking quickly, and the visit follows if the computer still needs a proper clean.
Why Cybersecurity help calls us
When you are ready. Call, or book a technician.
0493 563 381Start here
Start here if a call, a warning or a sign-in alert has you worried. When the computer is just slow and nothing suspicious happened, try computer support instead.
Fake support calls, frightening screen warnings, or a login notice from a place nobody in the house has been.
What was said, typed or installed is worked out before any setting gets touched.
Remote tools, pop-up makers and unwanted add-ons taken off with care for your own files.
Passwords changed and two-step codes set up again once the scare is over.
A short set of habits for the household, rather than expensive software sold on fear.

FAQ
Turn the computer off or unplug the internet, and if any bank details were shared, ring the bank first. Do not call the scammer back.
Then contact PC Scientist. We remove whatever the caller left, change the important passwords from a safe device, and talk your parent through what happened without making them feel silly.
Account and password work is often fine remotely. If the scammer had control of the computer, we usually prefer to see it in person, so nothing they installed gets to watch a new remote session.
We talk through which option suits before anything is booked.
A little, at first. We set up sign-in codes on the phone, save the new passwords somewhere sensible, and walk you through logging in a couple of times before we go.
Email and anything else you use daily gets tested so nothing is left half-working.
Both. Home offices and sole traders often come to us after a dodgy invoice or a hacked email. Bigger business needs have their own business support page.
We are not set up for large companies that need round-the-clock security teams watching their systems.
