Every day we offer FREE licensed software you’d have to buy otherwise.
COVERT Pro 3.0.9 was available as a giveaway on March 18, 2015!
COVERT Pro - an innovative solution to ensure total privacy while working at the computer. It protects against spyware. When working in secure platform, all user’s actions in all applications (browsers, email clients, office software, messengers, etc.) are safely hidden. Capturing data from keyboard input and monitor screen is blocked. Using special features of COVERT Pro (Network monitor, Driver monitor, System processes, System services) allows you to detect and remove all hidden applications.
To protect against spyware, COVERT Pro uses the masking method. It is the most reliable method against spyware — masking action of user. It means creation of secure platform, inside which user can run any applications, while remaining invisible to the spies.
Search for spyware on the hard drive is ineffective if it’s not in the malware databases. Analyze the code or behavior is also pointless — it is not known who and for what purpose carries specific to spyware actions. Intercept keyboard input and screen captures can perform legitimate software and it is not prohibited actions.
COVERT Pro has user interface in five languages: English, German, Italian, Czech and Russian.
COVERT Pro is compatible with other antivirus programs and enhances the protection of your PC.
Please note that the winner with the best improvement idea will be rewarded with a full-functioning life-time license for COVERT Pro USB. Please use IdeaInformer widget to submit your ideas.

To uninstall Help menu says "To remove (uninstall) program from Windows, run the installer, which was used to install the program, and in the main window, click "Uninstall the program".
However, when I do this I get a message saying "failed to connect with giveawayoftheday server. Please try again later."
I don't want the program as it slows my computer too much.
There appears no other way to uninstall it as it does not appear on Windows list of installed programs.

I have to admit, the program has some very useful and unique features, no doubt, the GUI doesn't has all the infancy Metro has but tbh, i don't want a fancy security software that hogs system resources just to look fancy (and then fails).
Also thanks to the developer for sticking around and answering questions and helping in general.
The question i have now is, where is the difference between COVERT and Mask S.W.B (both from KUMASER) and why is there a need to rebrand it somehow?

Many thanks to everyone who left a comment. We try to take into consideration all your recommendations to improve our program.

I like the idea, but when testing it i had the following issue. when login into secure platform, not any application will open. i assign the right path in quick launch. click it and nothing happens. without login to secure mode it does launch.

I'm happy to see the program developer monitoring the giveaway and answering questions -- it gives me confidence in the software.
I've downloaded and installed this with no problems, but it's going to take me a while to test it out.
This does seem like a program I'd prefer to have on a USB stick and carry with me to different computers; so if this is CovertPro's idea of selling the the portable USB version (79 Euros - yikes!) -- good move! ;-)

I'm a grand-ma with little knowledge in computer but the program seems nice and not so difficult to understand... still I have a problem with videos that I cannot read in my browser (Firefox). I connect to the internet thru a vpn, is it a possible cause of my problem?

My reading of the documentation seems to indicate that these applications will be blocked permanently. Did I read correctly [I'm no techie guru]?

Login to the secure platform means that all actions of the user inside this platform are invisible to spyware. 1st mode reports that running some program, that were launched not by user. 2nd mode blocks any programs that were launched not by user. 0 mode - allows programs that were launched not by user.

I am going to try COVERT Pro 3.0.9. I am concerned with people "out there" knowing both what I do and where I live via my IP address. This can be just as bad as a spyware intrusion. I don't want to change my IP myself so I was wondering something. Does your program mask the user's IP address in any way. Is there a way I can find out how to do so? Just wondering as I didn't see any reference to this on your site.
Save | Cancel
CovertPro does not mask IP address. The program hides user's actions from spyware that are installed on his/her computer.

I downloaded the program, extracted the files and ran "setup.exe". Nothing happens. The task appears in the Task Manager window, but is not using any resoiurces. I re-downloaded the zip file, extracted contents, rebooted windows 8, and then ran "setup.exe" again. Same results.

The developer response does not fill me with confidence.
In the blurb it says 'COVERT Pro is compatible with other antivirus programs and enhances the protection of your PC'
In response to Karl and his blue screen, the developer responds with 'The fact that you have a blue screen – it is a problem of antivirus, but not COVERT'
That's enough to put me off reading further.

If you are using TeamViewer on your home/personal computer to connect to another device you own, then, in the COVERT main window in the section "Database Threats", find "TeamViewer_Service.exe", click on it to highlight, and click the "Delete" button on the right. Don't forget to click the "Save" button so your choice will stick. TeamViewer will then run correctly and you will see that it is no longer highlighted in red in the "Network Monitor" section.

This is called "false positive." This is a big problem of antiviruses. Once again proves that antivirus can not be trusted 100%. Our program is not a Trojan. About the effectiveness of antivirus read the test results:

Oops sorry. I guess having an insomnia sleep deprived mind made me slow. I saw in one comment that they said to close the program and then restart it, so I did. I must admit my whole screen turning green scared me lol. I eventually saw the register button and got that figured out.
Program looks like it can do alot I'll have to learn about. Thanks GOTD and covertpro! I'm glad the company says they plan to work on making the user interface easier, which should help those of us who are less familiar with the workings of computers, but meanwhile thanks for the program and all your interaction with us today.
I could still use help on my question about "running" an executable program with my windows 7 laptop, if anybody can help someone who feels like a newbie after a couple years off her computer.
Thanks!

I installed the program but do not understand anything about it, can I just leave it alone as it is and benefit, or do I need to make an effort to figure it out and change settings, etc?
Does this key cover updates? Judging from the posts so far, this program is generating a lot of interest and the company's responses are very good.
Save | Cancel
Covert Pro will protect against spyware your work on the computer if you enter a secure platform. To do this, you need to press "Login to the secure platform". No other settings you do not need to do. Although we still recommend to check drivers (Driver monitor) that installed on your computer. Driver spyware are very dangerous and we recommend that you remove them.

Hi I'm sorry but I have windows 7 and I can't seem to figure out how to register the program? I pressed F1 as suggested above and after getting the cool foreign language statement I got "Why can't I get Help from this program?
The Help for this program was created in Windows Help format, which depends on a feature that isn't included in this version of Windows. However, you can download a program that will allow you to view Help created in the Windows Help format.

25: FUNCTIONALITY…YES!
‘Ugly UI’ ect. are opinions, not facts, know the difference….and stop embarrassing yourselves…..please?
---------------
I am not embarrassed in the least to say in my opinion that the GUI IS very gaudy and rather overdone. And I don't like the fact that everything else is in various shades of pink when I look away from it.
Now, about the program itself:
The program installed with no problem using ToolWhiz "TimeFreeze" on Windows 7, 32 bit. It was a bit of a hassle to figure out how to get it registered with the free key though.
After decades of using Windows based programs you expect certain features to appear at the top of the screen (like "Help" etc). This program has lots of good help but no help in figuring out how to get to it until you find out how to get help. Using "About the program" doesn't get you any help.
Hint: [F1] is the secret way. Yes that is a common way to get help but not all Windows programs do that so I haven't gotten in a habit of pressing F1.
One of the features I would suggest a change be made to is that the various outlined areas with black text on white background of information on the main screen be made size adjustable. On my "Database threats" I have about 12 small pages of threats shown that I would like to go on the web to see what they are etc. I pressed the "Save" button assuming that a file would be created so I could see all the info on one page. Nope, I have no idea where or what that save function does until I have time to search around in the help file.
Even though I don't have any major worries about key loggers etc on my computer this program does present some good information on what is being loaded along with each program. I might be able to use that info to generally improve the way my computer runs.
Thank you GOTD and CovertPro for presenting this program for review and to responding to our questions etc.
Save | Cancel
Thank you for your detailed proposal for improving the program. We will take them into account to improve the interface definitely.

@olrowdy01: It is good that you dealt with the program itself, then went on further to deal with it's functionality!

If you have assigned programs to the buttons, you press "close", and after entering into secure platform (big button with logo), you can launch these programs using quick launch buttons. And spyware wouldn't be able to get data from these programs.

COVERTPro,
If you're still there... I assigned Firefox to Button 1 before logging in to the secure platform. I clicked the COVERT button and now Button 1 displayed "Notepad" (not Firefox), and clicking on it ran Notepad. I closed the program (I couldn't find a way to log off the secure platform with closing the platform; is there one?). I ran the program and went into the button settings again. It still showed Firefox on Button 1; no Notepad.
I assigned Firefox to Button 2 and Thunderbird to Button 3. So now the program displayed Firefox on Buttons 1 and 2 (both) and Thunderbird on Button 3.
I logged in to the secure platform again and Button 1 said Notepad again. Button 2 said Firefox and Button 3 said Thunderbird, but they were both grayed out and I could not click them.
Am I doing something wrong?
Save | Cancel
You did not register the program. In the unregistered version works only notepad.
Save | Cancel
Thanks very much for replying. I thought I had registered it. Right after I installed the program, I clicked on Registration, and in the "Enter the key" box, I pasted the registration key from the Readme file. I did notice later that at the top it said "Unregistered version", so I opened Registration and entered the registration key again, but it still didn't work. I just checked and the registration key was correct.
I did notice that the login ID on the main screen was different, so I just tried to change it and was not allowed to. Should it be the same?
What did I do wrong?
Would it be better to continue this discussion via email or on your feedback page?

Although I have installed this program and will check it out when I get more time, I'm somewhat concerned about the competency of a program that doesn't even install short-cuts for the program and help files in the Start Menu's Programs list.
Save | Cancel
We want the program to be not very noticeable on the computer, so it doesn’t install short-cuts for the program and help files in the Start Menu’s Programs list. Sometimes someone can gain access to your computer and you may not want it to be immediately discovered that you have spyware protection.
Save | Cancel
I had a similar problem to others. When I clicked install, it said that the program was already installed in the path. I exited that screen and found the program in the Program files (c86) and I clicked on Protection.exe. That brought up the window where you have to agree. The next window was the program where I found the registration link.
Is this program like an anonymizer? The government has said that they can tell who you are when you use an anonymizer program and the government will track you forever if you use a program like this even once. They are not talking about the typical tracking. They mean active monitoring.

This is not anonymizer. CovertPro hides your actions from spyware like keyloggers and screenshoters.

Normally I will not download and install a program based on Karl's review. However i am going to give this program a try. Why because as he stated it is really digitally signed by the company. For me this in important because I know it is not a fly by night, gone the next day company. If a company takes the time, money and docing to actually register then they are normally legit.
I hope this has an unlimited time limit license. Purchasing a new computer within the next few months and I would like to put it on that computer.
If I have problems with this program I will post in a different comment. Thanks Covert company and associates.

Hello - Dual-boot here - PHYSICAL Dual-boot (Win10 TP9926 & Win8.1.3) I installed on my Win10 partition & tried to open a program I almost use daily - "Coolector" - I have a very large collection of DVD's, etc (retired from owning a video rental place), I have a lifetime licence with the software company & yet when I opened my "FULLY PAID FOR" version of the program - what came up in your GUI was a brand new start temp version, which could not reach it's "mama" to update & it lost my 6000+ database of movies. So, what I have brought from this trial is - Everything I have already used, I will lose the work I've done so far, & have to re-do all work previously under your GUI or my programs won't work. RIGHT? I am a computer-tech for almost 40 years & have dealt with everything from Apple & DOS through all the crap Microsoft has thrown at us & lots of other crap - (A clear question) Do I have to re-register ALL of my purchased software under your GUI or is there another way of "applying" you ?numbers? to programs, to be able to launch them? Not having a good thumbs-up minute here. Sry GOTD - c u tomorrow & I will continue to work & report on this, as the day goes by.
Save | Cancel
So Coolector software (currently v4.4.3) is programmed to initialize its database when, at startup, it fails to detect that it is registered? That sounds like the more serious defect, though I agree that programs launched under Covert Pro should be able [perhaps after a one-time prompt for permission] to access directories, files and registry entries as freely as they can when running standalone. Does Coolector require internet access to the vendor when launched?

Hi, The presence of Developer on GOTD - interacting with users and testers (potential Clients 'in making', be it by simply spreading the word..) and addressing concerns and/or questions means few things echoed already by others, but worth highlighting:
1) This Developer/Creator of Software called Covert Pro can defend their Product knowing it 'inside-out' (something so obvious, yet lacking in case of so many 'pushy peddlers' alone!)
2) Takes on board constructive comments in decent manner and approach.
3) Dismisses issues occurring while running the Program for the first time (or while already going through it's paces) as not necessary - Program's fault (here promptly testing examples given by users - all may I notice - on the day of Giveaway, but otherwise showing that Help is readily given and common place?)
4) Lastly portraits v. impressive selling technics combined with Care, something called - Personal Touch! It hardly ever fails, and in turn can often justify and defend Software's asking price.
So it comes to no surprise that so many regular Users of this Giveaway site (including myself) welcome and appreciate such wholesome Presentation. Thumbs up to CovertPro!

This process is run independently inside the platform. This is a system process, you shold not be afraid of it. You can not unload it if it has correct path. Stfton.exe - is the process of Windows, which controls the "Alternative User Input", as well as the "Language Bar" (this switch keyboard layouts, with which it is possible to change the input languages). Also, this process is responsible for additional features such as speech recognition and handwriting (especially useful for tablets), as well as for using the onscreen keyboard. Maybe it was a Trojan with the same name. Correct path in Win 7,8x64 C:\Windows\SysWOW64\ctfmon.exe

when Covert Pro is running in secure mode, you are limited to running software only within that secure environment; you cannot toggle to other software previously opened. To repeat, in secure mode, you can only run applications that are opened in secure mode during that session. Any programs started prior to launching secure mode become inaccessible during the secure session unless restarted within that session. However, it is very quick and simple to shut down Covert Pro to access other software. Covert Pro closes almost instantaneously and also launches extremely quickly from my SSD drive. I wish I could have it both ways, secure and insecure environments simultaneously, but I still find the software has excellent value. I was in and out the the secure environment several times this morning working, with essentially no delay at all.

Thank you for your feedback. Before entering the secure platform you need to close some applications and open them inside the platform (eg, Firefox).
