What ThreatShield Does
ThreatShield blocks risky domains, deceptive login pages, and tracking networks, while ApexGuard keeps your browsing private, encrypted, and protected at the connection level.
Malicious Website Blocking
Blocks known malicious domains the moment you open them, matching each site to a live threat list so malware and scam sites never load.
Tracker Blocking
Stops the trackers and scripts advertisers embed in web pages, blocking the data they use to follow you across sites and build a profile.
Phishing Protection
Catches phishing sites disguised as the banks and login pages you trust, blocking them before you hand over a password or payment details.
Risky Link Detection
Detects where a link leads before it opens, so one tap on a risky link in an email or message never reaches a phishing or malware site.
How ThreatShield Works
ThreatShield checks requests against known risk sources, blocking malicious domains, phishing pages, trackers, and untrusted destinations before they can load.
1. You Open a Website, App, or Link
Behind the scenes, your device sends a request to the server that stores and delivers the content.
2. ThreatShield Checks the Destination
The request is checked against known risks, including malicious domains, fraud sites, trackers, and risky destinations.
3. Risky Requests Are Blocked
If the destination is identified as unsafe, ThreatShield stops the connection before the threat loads.
4. Safe Browsing Continues Normally
If no risk is detected, your connection continues through ApexGuard for a smoother, safer browsing experience.
Reduce Your Exposure to Everyday Online Threats
