DATA CLEANSE
If you are thinking of selling your computer or trading it in, you must be sure to leave no trace of your personal information on the machine. Our Agents can remove everything from the hard drive and wipe it clean to prevent identity fraud.
- We can remove banking details and passwords
- Any file can be retrieved if not deleted properly
- We overwrite the data so it cannot be read again
Who knows what will happen to your machine if you throw it out or give it away? Cybercriminals only need small bits of information to clone your identity or steal from your bank account. Our Agents have a powerful new cleaning tool to use In Store on laptops or via Remote Support on a desktop.
| Choose one | In Store | At home | Over the Phone |
| One-off cost | £29.99 | N/A | N/A |
| With membership only £6.99 per month | FREE | N/A | N/A |
Just deleting files from the hard drive by dragging them into the Recycle Bin or Trash doesn't thoroughly remove them and they could be recovered. We continually overwrite the hard drive so data can't be found again.

Why a Data Cleanse is right for you
Identify theft is on the increase and cybercriminals only need simple details to steal money from your bank account or pose as you to buy goods or services online. It might surprise you but many of these details could be sitting on an old computer ready to be found and used for fraud - even though you thought you'd deleted them. Our Data Cleanse is a long process and so must be booked in advance but it could save you thousands of pounds in the long run and a whole lot of hassle if you were caught out.
