When a Wollongong bank customer needs this inspection
Banks sometimes restrict internet banking until the customer shows the computer has been checked.
After a remote-access scam
Someone convinced you to install software or let them connect. The bank wants evidence the computer is clean.
Suspected malware or fraud
Unusual transactions or login alerts led the bank to lock access pending a computer check.
Bank letter or email
Your bank asked for a technician report, malware check or security certificate. Bring its instructions so we address them.
What the inspection covers
Remote-access and unknown software
We look for remote-access tools, suspicious programs and startup items, and remove what should not be there.
Browser and security settings
Extensions, saved logins, updates and built-in protection checked and corrected where needed.
Certificate and report
A written record of what was checked, found and fixed for that device, for you to submit to your bank.
Important limits
The certificate helps your bank make a decision. It does not make the decision for them.
The bank decides
Whether access is restored, and any fraud investigation or refund, is decided by your bank.
Point in time only
The certificate cannot guarantee future safety. It records the device's condition on the day.
General scam clean-up
If your bank has not asked for a certificate, the virus and malware removal service may be all you need.

Questions
Banking security certificate FAQs
How much does a banking security certificate cost in Wollongong?
Standard scheduled inspections start from $160. Extra clean-up or recovery work beyond the agreed scope is discussed first. We never ask for banking passwords, PINs or one-time codes.
My bank asked me to get my computer checked. Can you do it?
Yes. We inspect the computer your bank has asked about, remove anything that should not be there where possible, and give you a certificate and technician report to send to the bank.
What does the certificate actually say?
It records the security checks we carried out on that computer and what we found and fixed on the day of the inspection. It is a point-in-time record, not an ongoing guarantee.
Will the certificate get my internet banking unlocked?
Not automatically. You give the certificate and report to your bank, and the bank decides whether its requirements are met and when access is restored.
Does the certificate guarantee my computer will stay safe?
No. It shows the computer's condition when we inspected it. Future safety depends on updates, strong passwords and not letting anyone connect to the computer remotely.
Will my bank accept your certificate?
Banks set their own requirements. Bring any letter or email from your bank so the inspection can address what they asked for. We cannot promise a particular bank's decision.
Can you remove the scammer's remote-access software?
Yes. Checking for and removing remote-access tools and other unwanted software is part of the inspection, and it is recorded in the report.
Do you need my banking login?
No. We never need your banking password, PIN or security codes. Do not share them with anyone, including us.
Can the inspection be done remotely?
Because the computer may have been accessed by a scammer, we recommend a home visit so it can be checked without opening another remote connection.
What should I have ready for the inspection?
The computer named by the bank, its charger, any letter or email from the bank, and a rough timeline of what happened during the scam or lockout.
