Try SpyShelter for free →We were unhappy with the other security software that was out there, so we decided to build something we wanted for ourselves. Our goal was to create something new that could quickly expose and take control over bad Windows processes (also known as bad apps)....
Once we were satisfied with what we built, we shared SpyShelter with our colleagues, friends, and families. We were excited to learn that our colleagues, friends, and family members not only LOVED SpyShelter, but they shared it with others, and those people shared it, and so on… and the rest is history!

Spyware prevention
Please keep using your current antivirus, we insist! SpyShelter adds an additional layer of protection that shouldn’t conflict with your antivirus. Our app gives you an advanced, unique, and powerful extra layer of application control. SpyShelter is primarily focused on preventing spyware and other problematic executable activity from ever starting through our unique application control technology. We definitely aren’t trying to be an antivirus, but instead we want to give you more visibility and control!
SpyShelter checks your PC’s processes in real-time and can stop threats before they start in many cases.
You just logged on to your bank account… then you remembered that sketchy app you downloaded a few days ago that wouldn’t ever install properly. Was it malware? The antivirus said it was OK… but was it?
With SpyShelter you can quickly see if that app is running, and what its been doing in the background. Why not turn on SpyShelter’s Screenshot Protection feature, or activate our "Paranoid" security mode when logging in to your financial account? SpyShelter can give you extra peace of mind.
SpyShelter is always updating its threat signatures and definitions to look for known online executable threats.
Are you an IT Pro, Security Pro, or another type of Pro PC user? SpyShelter lets you have full application control directly from the Windows Terminal App (formerly known as the Command Prompt). Decide what is and what isn’t allowed to run on your PC, while never leaving your Terminal!
SpyShelter lets you choose your own level of protection. Stick to “Easy” mode to let SpyShelter do all the work. If you’re a Windows PC Pro, then consider our “Suspicious” or even our “Paranoid” mode if you’re wearing a tinfoil hat, and want full control over your Windows processes.
Many people are talking about “Zero Trust” technology for cybersecurity, but what does it mean? Unfortunately with cybersecurity, blindly trusting can be a liability. SpyShelter’s “Suspicious” or “Paranoid” mode can give you the ability to give “Zero Trust” to your PCs executables, and only approve changes and Windows OS actions that you approve and verify. Zero Trust can actually mean many things with cybersecurity, but with SpyShelter you can use a Zero Trust model with the apps on your PC.

Avoid Instability and Wasted Resources
One of our first SpyShelter users kept having his PC crash at a certain time of day, but had trouble finding the cause. SpyShelter’s Events log helped him quickly see what was launching at that time and causing the issue. The SpyShelter fan could then take control over the app that was causing the issue. The Windows process would start/stop so quickly it wouldn’t even appear in the task manager, but SpyShelter came to the rescue with its detailed logs and app controls!
Did you know some apps can change sensitive parts of the Windows Registry without your knowledge? SpyShelter looks out for this behavior and stops it.
SpyShelter keeps watch over the Windows System files, and can prevent unusual changes before it’s too late.
Windows drivers are one of the most powerful types of software that you can run on your PC. SpyShelter keeps watch over your drivers, and looks for suspicious activity. You can then control what drivers are allowed to install.
Advanced visibility into Windows PCs
Executable Insights #19
If a new app was installing in the background on your PC right this moment, would you even know it was happening? SpyShelter lets you know about any executable (app) changes and can even usually tell you exactly what that app is and what it does.
Driver Knowledge #20
Everyone has drivers installed on their Windows PCs, but where did they come from and what do they do? SpyShelter keeps watch on your drivers and can share interesting insights to help you decide if you should keep those drivers, or allow them to install at all!
Registry Details #21
You just installed a new app and it wants to make a critical change to your Windows Registry. Should you allow it? In many cases SpyShelter will tell you what that Windows Registry key does, and knowing is half the battle. Download SpyShelter to battle spyware
Interesting Events #22
So, this new app keeps starting and stopping every 30 seconds and it starts/stops within milliseconds so it isn’t even showing up in my task manager. Should I keep this executable, or quarantine/terminate it? You can learn of this activity and decide what to do with SpyShelter. Don’t have SpyShelter? Then you’ll never even know these interesting events are even taking place.
What Publishers Do You Have? #23
One of the most critical things to understand about what’s running on your PC, is what publishers you have. Almost every executable on your PC should be signed by some publisher, for example Chrome is signed by Google, and Firefox is signed by Mozilla. SpyShelter shows you what publishers have things running on your PC, and if something isn’t signed at all SpyShelter brings it to your attention immediately.
