A VPN is great for security and privacy. By hiding your IP address and encrypting your traffic, it shields your data from snoopers and all kinds of cyber attacks. But its protection scope is limited. Now it’s time to take your protection even further.
NordVPN is introducing a brand-new feature to the desktop apps — Threat Protection. Once you enable it on your NordVPN app, Threat Protection will guard your device against malicious websites, malware, trackers, and intrusive ads. Even if you’re not connected to a VPN server at the time. Let’s take a look at how it can improve your security.
Online, one wrong turn can spell disaster for your private data. But not with Threat Protection. It blocks dangerous websites that might potentially host malware, even if you click on a dangerous link by accident.
Next up — malware protection. If you accidentally download an infected file, it’s not the end for your devices just yet. Threat Protection scans every file you download. If a file turns out to be infected, it gets deleted immediately, before it can wreak havoc on your computer.
Most websites you enter are stuffed with trackers that follow you from one page to another, creating a unique profile of who you are and what you like. Threat Protection blocks trackers, so you can surf the net with more privacy.
Ever opened a webpage only to be bombarded with intrusive ads and loud autoplay videos? Well, they’re not only annoying — some of them can actually be a cyber threat. Threat Protection blocks the intrusive and malicious ads on the spot.
So, how do you take your device security to the next level? Make sure you have the latest NordVPN app version on your computer. Then, open it and click on the little shield — it’s the Threat Protection icon. Toggle the switch on and enjoy ultimate security!
You can also find Threat Protection Lite on your mobile apps, but it won’t block trackers or malware on your phone just yet.
Step up your security and stay safe!
