AppGuard automatically controls how certain applications are allowed to behave and prevents malware attacks without having to recognize them. Instead of hunting down the millions of new malware created per day, we’ve mapped out the types of things they need to do to get the stuff you care about. Things like stealing your personal data, controlling your microphone or camera, or encrypting your PC to hold your data for ransom. Only a limited number of actions can make those types of things happen, and AppGuard makes sure high risk applications in high risk situations can’t do them.

AppGuard complements or replaces the common antivirus products you know and hate, and increases the safety of your PC by 2x-3x MORE than those tools. Antivirus is based on the idea that you can keep an updated list of malware files you’ve seen before, and then search, find and remove them from your system before they do damage. Well, when more than half of malware is not a “file” to be found, 1,000,000+ new are created daily, and most attacks execute immediately so finding them later won’t help, you’re left in a position where your security system only works about 25% of the time.
