Friends are getting emails you never sent. A pop-up says the computer is infected and gives a number to call. Or the bank sent a text that looked real enough to click. Whichever it was, the question now is what they got into.
PC Scientist checks the computer for anything left behind, locks down email and banking logins, and sets up protection that does not nag. Remote or onsite across Parramatta, with the price clear first. Call, request a call back, or book an eligible visit online.
Parramatta homes and small offices around workshops, units, and offices near the centre often call after a pop-up, a strange login email, or an account that no longer feels like yours. Bring what appeared on the screen. PC Scientist cleans up and hardens the setup, then shows you what was left open.
One way in is enough. If someone may have access right now, call rather than fill in a form.
Scam calls and odd pop-ups land in Parramatta - Parramatta homes, Harris Park shops, Westmead desks, North Parramatta family PCs. We keep it calm. No scare script. Tell us what appeared on the screen.

If this is not the job
Want the longer guide? Cybersecurity Scientist.
Scam text and call checks, malware and pop-up clean-ups, account recovery after a strange login, password tidy-ups, safer browser and email settings, and parental controls for families from the CBD to Northmead and Harris Park.
You get a plain account of what happened, then help locking things down, with no judgement.
Do not pay anything and do not install anything a caller asked for. Note what you clicked and which accounts might be affected, then call.
If someone you do not know can control your screen, switch the computer off and call us before touching it again.
Many scam checks and account fixes can, once we know the device is safe to connect to. If a computer may be compromised, a visit is clearer.
Several devices or a small office usually suit a visit so everything is checked together.
After a short chat about what you saw, we explain the options and cost before any work. Larger clean-ups get a clear figure once diagnosed.
If the clean-up cannot be done, you pay no repair fee and still leave knowing what to do next.
