Security: An advanced Firewall that hides your PC’s identifiers from other devices on the network and notifies you the moment other devices scan the PC for open ports. You’re protected from Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) spoofing attacks — which is when cybercriminals mask their computer as a network member to steal information — and from DNS hijacking, via the Web Hijack Guard feature. Meanwhile, the Webcam Shield prevents applications and malware from accessing your PC's webcam without your consent. In a world where many store their passwords in their browser, It helps you secure them against malware and unwanted applications.
