Melbourne Faces More Online Threats Than Ever
The Australian Cyber Security Centre reported over 94,000 cybercrime reports in the last financial year, and phishing remains the number one attack vector. Melbourne households and businesses are constantly targeted with fake emails impersonating banks, telcos, and government services. One wrong click can compromise an entire network.
We go beyond just installing antivirus software. Our internet security service configures protection at every layer -- from DNS-level filtering that blocks malicious domains before they load, to email authentication that catches phishing attempts, to browser extensions that warn you about suspicious sites. For families, we set up age-appropriate content filters and safe search enforcement.
Whether you are a Toorak family wanting to protect the kids online, a Collingwood startup needing email security, or a senior in Camberwell tired of scam emails, we tailor the solution to your actual needs.

Very happy with Smit, Installed all the important apps on my new computer. He also gave me a bit of a tutorial as we went along and most importantly, gave me the assurance that all the protections I need are up and running. With me not all that computer savvy, I have the confidence to navigate my way through all the things I use my computer for
Internet Security FAQ
What Melbourne families and businesses ask us about staying safe online.
We configure multiple layers of protection. At the network level, DNS filtering blocks known phishing domains before they even load. At the email level, we tighten spam filters and enable sender verification. At the browser level, we enable safe browsing warnings and install verified security extensions. We also sit down with your family and walk through real examples of common scams so everyone knows what to look for.
DNS filtering works at the network level to block dangerous websites before your browser even connects to them. Instead of relying on each device to have its own protection, DNS filtering covers every device on your WiFi -- including smart TVs, tablets, and IoT devices that cannot run antivirus software. We configure it on your router so it works automatically for everyone in your household or office.
Yes. We configure parental controls at both the network level and on individual devices. Network-level filtering through your router protects everything connected to your WiFi. Then we set up device-specific controls on phones, tablets, and computers for when the kids are on mobile data or at a friend's house. We use Microsoft Family Safety, Apple Screen Time, or Google Family Link depending on your devices.
Free antivirus catches known malware, but internet security is broader than that. Phishing emails, social engineering, malicious ads, and fake websites can all bypass traditional antivirus. We recommend layered protection: antivirus for known threats, DNS filtering for network-wide blocking, email security for phishing, and browser hardening for safe browsing. The good news is many of these layers are free or low-cost -- it is the configuration that matters.
