Home PC Security

Your home computer holds some of your most sensitive information: bank account passwords, tax returns, family photos, medical records, personal emails, and more. Yet most home computers are woefully underprotected. Default Windows security settings, expired antivirus trials, and weak passwords leave your personal data vulnerable to hackers, identity thieves, and malware. Our home PC security service sets up real, layered protection that keeps your family safe online without making your computer complicated to use.

What We Protect Against

Malware and Viruses: We install and properly configure antivirus software that actively monitors your system for threats. Many home computers have antivirus that is either expired, disabled, or misconfigured. We make sure yours is actually working and set to scan automatically.

Phishing and Scams: Fake emails pretending to be from your bank, Amazon, or the IRS trick millions of people every year. We configure your email spam filters, set up browser protections that warn you about dangerous websites, and show you how to recognize phishing attempts so you do not fall victim to social engineering scams.

Identity Theft: We help you secure the accounts that matter most. This includes setting up strong, unique passwords using a password manager (so you only need to remember one master password), enabling two-factor authentication on your email, banking, and social media accounts, and checking whether your personal information has already been exposed in known data breaches.

Ransomware: Ransomware encrypts all your files and demands payment. The best defense is having verified, working backups that ransomware cannot reach. We set up and test your backup system so that even if ransomware strikes, your files are recoverable without paying a dime.

Unsafe Browsing: We configure your web browser with privacy and security extensions that block malicious ads, prevent tracking, and warn you before you visit dangerous websites. We also clean up any existing browser hijackers or unwanted extensions that may already be compromising your browsing.

Our Security Setup

Our technicians connect remotely and implement a complete security overhaul: antivirus installation and configuration, Windows Firewall verification, browser security hardening, password manager setup, two-factor authentication on critical accounts, Windows security updates, and removal of any existing threats. We then explain everything we did in plain language so you understand your protection.

For ongoing security, our monthly plans include continuous monitoring that catches new threats as they emerge, keeping your defenses current as the threat landscape evolves.
