Computer Security
In todays world there are many devices such as computers, smartphones and tablets, that are all vunrabilites to virus produced by black hat hackers, for either feel interest or financial gain. Do not underestimate your home or business network security! Generally a computer, smartphone or tablet can be infected with malicious software before it even leaves the shop you purchased it from. Virus detection software is only useful for reported viruses, and therefore any new virus (aka zero-day virus) can quiet easily go undetected by your virus detection software. We are able to secure various operating systems such as Windows, Apple, iOS, Android, BSD, Linux and Unix. We have been doing computer security since the 1990's.

What is a firewall?
Well wikipedia says:
"A firewall is an integrated collection of security measures designed to prevent unauthorized electronic access to a networked computer system. It is also a device or set of devices configured to permit, deny, encrypt, decrypt, or proxy all computer traffic between different security domains based upon a set of rules and other criteria."
When using the internet a firewall is a must!
Computer Virus Removal
We hear about computer viruses all the time. Most people think of a computer virus as a computer with poor health (e.g. running slow). But that is just one symptom of what is really going on.
Computer viruses are malicious software, which can be used by black hat hackers to install:
- Spyware - allows monitoring of your behaviour and keystrokes.
- Worms - allows the virus to spread to other electronic devices (e.g. computers, smart phones, tablets, etc).
- Trojan Horses - allows the virus to sit dormant, until a hacker needs to use your computer for various malicious needs. Please note: the hacker could be either human or an automated software program (aka bots).
It should be also noted that computer virus are not just limited to your personal computer, they can infect your smart phone, tablet and just about any electrical device you can think of.
While virus detection software is useful, it doesn't detect every virus. If a new virus is released onto the internet today (aka zero-day virus), then your virus detection software will not detect it!
If you feel your electrical device has a virus (maybe its running very slow?) then contact us today to allow us to diagnose the device, and remove all viruses found. We would also provide a howto for future use of your electrical device, to ensure you limit (or remove) the chance of being infected again.
Computer Spyware Removal
Do you realise that most of the computers, smart phones and tablets you purchased, where most likly infected with spyware without the approval of the consumer and the vendor?
Spyware is used by black hat hackers (and in some cases corporate business) to monitor your behaviour on your computer, smart phone or tablet. This monitoring can be used to similar track what you like to do, which can be used to target products to you via web searchs, email or postage mail. Or even worse be used to log all your passwords and personally, such as your back account details, which could be used to debt your bank account, or similar to steal your identity for various financial gains in Australia or internationally.
We are very familar with this technology and therefore have many skills and tools available to find such spyware and remove it. Contact us today to get your spyware removed.

Wireless Security
Worried about your Wireless security? Did you realise that approximately 30% of homes and businesses believe they have secured their wireless routers, however they are actually very unsecure wireless, and can be hacked into in minutes.
Wireless intrusion occurs when a hacker is just outside your building or home, and gain access to your network via your wireless rounter. This allows the wireless hacker to:
- Use your Internet bandwidth for their needs (e.g. downloading large files).
- Monitor your wireless activity (e.g. what pages you are looking at on your wireless laptop, e.g. Bank Website, Facebook).
- Release a worm virus that could spread in your network and potentially exploit your Internet router, allowing external access.
Internet Security
We have all heard the stories about black hat hackers, breaking into big corporations and/or home networks. So its understandable most users are worried about the Internet and their online details such as bank accounts.
Securing your Internet generally involves protecting your personal and/or business network from:
- External hackers/viruses getting into your personal and/or network.
- Internal viruses that could then open up your network for external hackers to get in, via exploiting your Internet rounter. An internal virus could come from a visitor laptop that is infected with a worm virus
- Wireless intrusion that would allow hackers (located just
outside your building or home) to gain access to your network, which
allows the wireless hacker to:
- Use your Internet bandwidth for their needs (e.g. downloading large files).
- Monitor your wireless activity (e.g. what pages you are looking at on your wireless laptop, e.g. Bank Website, Facebook).
- Release a worm virus that could spread in your network and potentially exploit your Internet router, allowing external access.
- Educating users what tools they should be using and how to use them correctly, to avoid them downloading hidden virus. A hidden virus can come from visting a websites, download files, and reading email.
If you want to ensure you are secure from Internet "bad guys", please contact us today. We can provide consultation, interest security reviews/audits, which can be deployed to reduce (and ideally remove) the threat of Internet.

Thank you for installing the surveillance system at our home in the Northern Rivers.

Thanks also for giving up your time on the weekend to arrange for back up parts to be picked up following storm damage.
Great service, great equipment.
I was grateful to find Luke Cole at COLETEK in the early days of an invention idea. He was very patient and generous with information to guide me along the way. And even though I did not preceed with my project, I would still recommend his services. Thank you.
As the proprietor a DIY environmentally pest control products business I have been more then impressed with COLETEK's design capability and professionalism in assisting to realise an idea into reality. From concept, CAD drawings, 3D modelling, alterations right through to the finished product. I am extremely happy with our new termite control product. I have no hesitation in recommending COLETEK's services.
Very reliable, professional and knowledgeable. In our office were we all amazed by Luke's knowledge of IT and how much he know about different IT issues, specially about the IP cameras. We recommend their services and we will always use their services in the future.
COLETEK installed real-time wireless security camera systems within our seven Holiday Parks, consisting of 31 cameras spread over multiple buildings and locations. I found the team at COLETEK to be very professional throughout the installation process and the completed system to be highly proficient for our business. I would recommend using COLETEK for your security needs.

My hard drive died with 18 months of work plus photos of my daughters 1st 18 months of life. I contemplated building a time machine to go back and document all those memories again - though I found it logistically and financially much easier to go with COLETEK. My recommendation is forget trying to build a time machine - call COLETEK.
We have used COLETEK on a couple of occasions and found their service to be professional and on time. We specialise in engineering and design of height safety equipment and since a lot of parts are made by casting from stainless steel we require a quick model before we proceed with the tool manufacture. COLETEK has been able to provide this quickly saving us valuable time and giving us peace of mind knowing our parts will look right when casted from stainless steel.
COLETEK have provided one to one communication throughout the development process and gone above and beyond in bringing our ideas closer to becoming a reality! Luke's expertise and knowledge with computer software and electronics is Jedi like, but what I liked most about working with him was his willingness and ability to think outside of the box.
We can't thank COLETEK enough for setting up our security systems and ensuring the safety of our assets. They were great to deal with and were extremely responsive in all aspects. We would highly recommend their services to anyone searching for true expertise and exceptional customer service.
I have been working closely with COLETEK for the past 6 years now, and I must say, it is a success story :-). I highly respect their team, they are a pleasure to work with and top skilled professionals. In addition to their top Technical service, their customer service is brilliant and it is a rare find. Their PCB repair rework skills are top notch and a rare find in this industry. I have been working in the IT industry for the past 20 years in various fields and seen it all so I can say with certainty that they are the best around and I am looking forward to keep working with them in the future.
I recently discovered COLETEK after I accidently managed to fry the PCB on my hard drive. The drive contained 13 years worth family photos and wasn't comfortable sending it off where it could be damaged more or lost in the post. After spending hours researching and emailing different data recovery companies, I decided on COLETEK. Luke was very helpful and let me know the estimated costs up front, and was able to quickly do the repairs necessary to get my drive running like new again. I was able to back up the whole drive and the bill ended up cheaper than the original quote. I can highly recommend them and have already sent a friend to get their drive repaired too.
COLETEK installed a real-time wireless security camera system for us consisting of 40 indoor and outdoor cameras over 10 buildings throughout the resort and service station. Their team was very professional from quote to completion of the job, and after sales service. The system has reduced vandalism and theft to almost nothing. We have been very happy with the installation and service. We would recommend COLETEK to anyone.
COLETEK installed a security camera system in our food processing facility that included 89 cameras both internal and external to the factory. They were professional through the quotation and installation process and have been supportive with their after sales service. Based on our experience we would have no hesitation in recommending COLETEK to anyone searching for customised surveillance camera solution.
