Scammers need to get onto your computer to do real damage. Micropls Scam Shield watches for exactly that, and tells you the moment remote-access software, unauthorised access or risky changes appear.

What it watches
Antivirus looks for viruses. Scam Shield looks for what scammers do once they're talking to you.
Remote-access software
Alerts you as soon as programs like AnyDesk or TeamViewer are installed or started, the #1 tool scammers use to get in.
Unauthorised access
Flags signs that someone else is using or controlling your computer without your permission.
New programs
Spots software that has just been installed, so nothing sneaks on while you're on the phone to a 'helpful' caller.
New services
Catches hidden background services, a common way scammers keep coming back after they hang up.
Scheduled tasks
Finds tasks set up to run on their own, often used to reinstall scam software after it's removed.
Startup & settings changes
Notices risky changes to what starts with your computer and to important security settings.
