As a part of System Mechanic Ultimate Defense, Privacy Guardian online privacy protection thwarts browser fingerprinting scripts by scrambling the data they rely upon to gain vast amounts of personal information about you.

Imagine being denied credit because a company has secretly collected data, however out of context, that suggests you are an irresponsible shopper. That is just one of the many ways personal data collected online can be used against you.

In the age of constant connectivity, online privacy and secure browsing are no longer merely nice to have — they are mandatory. Only Privacy Guardian offers protection from the latest, most sophisticated types of online tracking. Cookies-based tracking blockers and VPNs don’t.

Privacy Guardian works to help protect you from targeted ads, identity theft, fraud and invasion of privacy. Surf privately and secure your browsers for true online privacy.

Safe, Simple Password Security™

Safeguard Passwords and Credit Cards

Included within System Mechanic Ultimate Defense, ByePass simplifies your digital life while securing it. ByePass is a platform-agnostic, secure password manager that also helps protect your online purchases.

With ByePass, malicious intermediaries are also thwarted from stealing your credit card info because the numbers are locally encrypted and only deployed as needed to make purchases.

Never again will you need to insecurely type or store passwords and credit cards in your web browser where keyloggers and hackers can steal them.

System Shield^™

VB100-certified antivirus protection

Block Malware

System Shield is a VB100-certified anti-malware solution that deploys both reactive and proactive malware detection strategies.

✓ A reactive strategy detects viruses using published malware signature detection.

✓ A proactive strategy uses sophisticated behavior-monitoring techniques to build a general sense of whether a given file intends to harm your computer, stopping attacks before a security patch for a particular threat is released.

Malware Killer^™

Discover and Remove Dangerous Malware Faster

Find and Destroy Existing Malware

Malware is a rapidly growing threat today as almost one million new viruses, worms, Trojans, rootkits and species of spy- and ransomware are released daily.*

Yet most anti-malware software on the market only blocks malware and has no way to remove it from a computer once infected. Several antivirus manufacturers instead even direct customers to costly premium phone support to help remove malware remotely.

Malware Killer is the nuclear option that finds and removes dangerous malware from already-infected computers.

Malware Killer is unique among malware remediation software because it uses proprietary Scan Cloud™-based scanning and analysis, enabled by its own carefully developed heuristics algorithm to dramatically reduce detection time for brand new outbreaks. This method allows Malware Killer to continually add to a vast “reputation database,” and even detect previously unknown threats.

Military-Grade Hard Drive Wiping Technology
