With SpyShelter, you control what apps are allowed to launch! Many executables may not be malware, but they can waste your resources, cause system instability, install unwanted adware, or just waste your time. With SpyShelter you have full Windows application control, where you can decide what is and isn't allowed to run on your PC.
Features
Extra Protection, Not an Antivirus
Our technology doesn't conflict with Windows Defender or other antiviruses. SpyShelter sits on top of your antivirus, adding extra visibility about your system, and giving you full application control. With SpyShelter, you can decide what your apps are allowed to do.
Stop Threats from Starting
SpyShelter's anti-spyware technology closely watches every time an executable tries to start on your machine, then instantly smacks down threats before they can even start. Get full control over what applications you allow to start with SpyShelter's powerful application control technology.
Built-in Intrusion Countermeasures
Already got spyware? SpyShelter has built-in countermeasures to help protect you. Turn on our anti-keylogger, or disable all screenshots with our Screenshot Protection. The spyware will only collect worthless black screenshots, and random characters, instead of your passwords and data. Yes, we're really that paranoid!
Find and Terminate Resource Hogs
Did you know the Windows Task Manager doesn't show executables that start/stop within milliseconds? We were shocked to learn this also, but SpyShelter catches these hidden resource hogs, spyware, or threats, and reveals them to you. Not only is SpyShelter light on resources, we help your PC avoid slowdowns by revealing resource hogs that are crashing your PC, or making it slow to a crawl. See when apps are starting/stopping in milliseconds, on purpose, to hide from the Task Manager.
Expose Hidden Threats & Badly Behaving Apps
Nothing gets past SpyShelter's monitoring. See what executables are running, and learn exactly what they are doing. Are they injecting other apps? SpyShelter shows you. Is an app changing your important registry keys? SpyShelter sees everything, and gives you full application control to stop unexpected behavior from Windows processes. Don't you deserve to know what apps are doing to your PC? We think your privacy and security matters, and that's why we created SpyShelter.
What's New
We've just released SpyShelter 15.0.2.503. If you're a previous SpyShelter user you'll be alerted to update, or you can install it now by installing it over your previous version of SpyShelter. No need to uninstall anything first.
- SpyShelter 15 is now no longer in beta testing. Thank you for all your feedback via our helpdesk and forum so we could improve SpyShelter! Please keep providing feedback in our public forum so we can keep improving.
- SpyShelter now supports PUP protection. PUP means "Potentially Unwanted Programs" and was requested by many SpyShelter fans. To turn this on, go to the Protection tab "Threat Protection" area (click the right side arrow), or leave it turned off if PUPs aren't an issue for you. SpyShelter will now stop unwanted programs before they can even launch. If SpyShelter catches a program you want to install, just unquarantine it to use it by going to the Rules tab.
- Now when threats or PUPs are quarantined, SpyShelter shows you an alert on the desktop, and an event. Previously you could only see this under SpyShelter's Rules.
- Go to SpyShelter's settings to only show red dots and red event alerts for threats only, or unsigned executables and threats only.
- SpyShelter has had many UI fixes and enhancements due to user reports and feedback.
- The SpyShelter software already doesn't collect any identifiable information, but for those who want an extreme level of privacy, SpyShelter now has a built-in extreme privacy mode for all free or paid users. A SpyShelter fan requested this mode via a private message in our forum, so we built it for that person. To use this mode, install SpyShelter from the Windows Terminal with the command /privacy. Now SpyShelter Threat Detection, Insights, and any other features that may send data (that's already non-identifiable as is) are disabled from SpyShelter's installation. Therefore, now even non-identifiable data isn't sent anywhere when using SpyShelter while in /privacy mode. Unfortunately this causes you to miss out on any threat detection or insights, to it's not recommended for most people. However, this mode may be useful for some work environments or IT requirements. To leave this privacy mode you have to uninstall SpyShelter and reinstall it with the /clean command.
- SpyShelter yearly subscriptions are now live. Thanks for considering supporting our work on this project so we can keep building new features and improving SpyShelter! Unlike many subscription companies we make it easy to cancel your subscription. You can purchase, then immediately click "unsubscribe" in your email to cancel rebills if you prefer. We don't make you have to contact us to cancel subscriptions.
