About These Tools
What are data and security tools? These tools assess your risk of data loss, check your security posture, estimate data recovery probability, and identify scam vulnerabilities. Use them to understand your exposure before a problem occurs — or immediately after one does.
Critical rule if data is lost: Stop using the affected device immediately. Every file written to a drive with deleted data reduces recovery chances. Run the data recovery estimator and call us before doing anything else.

⚠️ When to stop using tools and call a technician

Frequently Asked Questions About These Tools
Most Common Problems We See With These Tools
These patterns come from real repair visits across Melbourne's northern suburbs — the same issues these tools are designed to help you identify.
Suspicious pop-up claiming computer has a virus
Usually a scam pop-up, not a real infection. Do not call the number shown. Use our Scam Risk Checker first.
Files disappeared after accidental deletion
Stop using the device. Recovery probability is high if no new data has been written since deletion.
Business failed its cybersecurity review
Most small businesses score below 50% on the Essential Eight. A half-day professional visit typically resolves the top gaps.
Computer running slow after a suspicious call
Remote access malware is common after tech support scams. Use the PC Security Checklist to assess exposure.
Hard drive making clicking noises
Mechanical failure in progress — treat as a data emergency. Stop using the device and call us immediately.
