Softonic review

Free hardware protection app

Camera Guard is a privacy app designed to protect against unwanted access to microphones and cameras. With recent revelations regarding widespread third-party device access, Camera Guard promises to actively monitor and block any attempts at gaining control of sensitive hardware. Once set-up, the program runs quietly in the background and creates a log of any any attempts at access with an additional optional alert. While the app is a free download, a subscription is needed for the more useful features such as microphone monitoring. A decent product.

  • Pros

    • Free download
    • Good performance
  • Cons

This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.
