Micropls Scam Shield

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.

The Micropls Scam Shield app: a Scan my computer button, a 'Nothing suspicious found' result and the list of checks for running programs, new installs, services, scheduled tasks and startup settings

The Micropls Scam Shield app. Alert pop-ups shown are examples.

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.

How it works

    It keeps watch

    It quietly watches for remote-access software, new programs and risky changes, day and night.

  3. 03

    You're alerted

    If something suspicious appears you're told straight away, and one tap sends the report to us.

  4. 04

    We step in

    A technician reviews it and helps you lock things down, remotely or at your door.

One-tap scan

Press “Scan my computer” any time and get a plain-English answer in seconds.

Send the report to Micropls with one button and a technician looks at it as soon as it arrives.
