"Adguard Adblocker" wont even allow me to go to the "shieldapps.com" website which is reports as unsafe, let alone to the PC Privacy Shield web-page

I'm thinking that's not a good omen too begin with ...

As the License is of a 'limited period of time' type I think I'll avoid this offer.

I can enter the licence key in the box, but the form then tells me to click 'Activate'. I cannot see an 'Activate' button, but there is a 'Register Now' button. When I click that it launches my browser and goes to a page where you can buy a licence.

So where is the 'Activate' button?

I received the LICENSE KEY in my e-mail, I go to "Register now," I input my information and the LICENSE KEY provided. It says to click "Activate?" Where is the activate button? I see another Register Now button and when I click that, I am brought to a website to pay for this program. I cannot see to activate or register this Giveaway. Any idea of what I may be doing wrong? Thanks.

Cannot register.
Fill form but where's this click "Activate"?
Amazing

quick and effective. was amazed by the amoun of information i was unaware of being stored on my computer...

thanks!

NOT saying PC Privacy Shield Premium is a bad app, but Please don't get complacent, feeling that it will protect you from phishing as the ad copy states. I'm using Firefox set to do much of what PC Privacy Shield Premium does, so I'm not going to say that the rest of what the app's designed to do is bad or unnecessary.

Phishing by definition is the practice of tricking you into giving cybercriminals your information, or tricking you into opening an email attachment, or tricking you into turning on macros to view an attachment in a MS Office format. It's common, and it's alarmingly effective.

And the only real protection against phishing is You being extremely cautious -- nothing is going to prevent you from entering your info on a web site that looks just like your bank's, but that is really controlled by criminals. No security software blocks every malicious email or labels it as spam. Any images, say of your bank's logo, may actually be the real thing, and any links or addresses may appear legit, so software has nothing to go on to determine if they're good or bad. That's your job, & it's safest not to trust anything -- our banks for example state in every real, official email not to ever click on any link in any email, & say they'll never, ever ask us to.

Also be aware that there are cybercriminals targeting network routers [and some modems], which can make for extremely effective phishing, & there have been loads of router vulnerabilities identified & published in the last year or so. A compromised router, or a compromised PC that has had the DNS server changed, can send you to a malicious site that looks just like the legitimate site you wanted to visit. You do what you're supposed to, entering your bank's address in your browser -- you just never get there. This fake site might even contact the site for your bank, relaying your sign-in etc., so everything appears to work, but they're recording everything. And security software running in Windows will not tell you your router's infected -- it's a separate device, & that's not the security software's job.

So Google your router make & model to see if there are reported vulnerabilities &/or attacks, and make sure if there's newer firmware available, you update it. You can also use Google to find out what your DNS server URL should be, and make sure that's what you're using.

Just in case you're still on windows 7 ( or earlier):
PC Privacy Shield needs Microsoft .NET Framework 4 to be installed.
Take care.

Thank you GOTD and ShieldApps for this giveaway. This is an interesting piece of software to look into, more even since these "privacy issues" have become an online subject obsession, but very hard or impossible to attain by the regular computer/internet user.

@Delenn. I've red your messages. Thank you. Let's get back on xkcd.

Thank you GOTD and PC Privacy Shield. Easy install and license activation and a really great program. Keep up the awesome work.

Based on the comments to date, I wouldn't touch this program with a 10 foot poll.

CCleaner and Wise Disk Cleaner do the job for me. They are both freeware.

i didn't realized all my password are saved on my computer.... i delete them immediately, Thanks for the Giveaway of the Day team!!

Installed okay in Win 7 64 bit. Not blocked by Bullguard. Just a word of caution- it asks you to create a password. I suggest you choose a very secure one, and do so in privacy, as the scan that follows reveals ALL your stored online passwords for various websites in plain text for everyone around to see. There was no warning that this would happen - a bit of an oversight. Presume this will happen with every scan (or maybe there's an opt-out setting which I haven't yet discovered). Anyone who can guess your PC Privacy password would be able to access all the others.

Thought somebody might appreciate being forewarned.

I don't mind GOTD's requirement of an email address so as to get the download link because I don't use Facebook, but after that, it's necessary with this giveaway to go to an activation page and provide an email address yet again, and then work through one of the most tedious captcha processes around: I want to sample a software, not spend a small eternity ticking off shop fronts, street signs, and whether there's any grass growing anywhere in view.

(What's especially ironic here is that I must first disable the privacy / security protections on this computer so as to access the activation captcha for this privacy software.)

Others with more time and patience to spare will likely fare better, but on the basis of the developer's own web page description it's hard to see what might make PC Privacy Shield Premium worthy of installing anyway -- and especially as it's yet more rentalware on a recurring annual license.

The so-called 'Sandbox' feature is, apart from a misinterpretation of what the word actually means, an automation easily foregone with a simple click on a CCleaner shortcut at the end of a browsing session. CCleaner also takes care of cookies, with the option to save any that may be wanted, whilst the free Firefox 'Better Privacy' extension goes even deeper in that regard.

Firefox also automatically erases all history on exit, and as for passwords, well: if there are still any out there ill-advised enough to use their browser for passwords instead of a password manager, I doubt any 'preventative' measure is ever going to help them. As for the product's other features, existing free or paid-for anti-malware / anti-virus software from long established providers seems already more than capable of managing that.

I'll pass then, GOTD, but thanks anyway.

Не могу найти ссылку для регистрации .Может кто даст ссылку.И не ужели сайту сразу публиковать код активации,а не бред на английском языке

Just had a terrible experience with this software. DO NOT INSTALL. Corrupted my Recycle bin and then the problems just multiplied in trying to correct that.

I use PrivaZer, which is portable, for this kind of cleaning. However, the Shield is pro active protection, and that's worth considering. I do trust a few sites, when it comes to giveaways or hosting of software - GOTD and Softpedia. Here's a fair review of today's offer, if your anti virus solution doesn't take care of phishing amd privacy issues. Better build a fence at the top of the cliff - than a hospital at the buttom.

Just crashes on using the 'clean' option and nothing is removed. Also I found the audio status message irritating

O the irony of it all. Here we are today being offered software that purports to protect our privacy and protect us from phishing and yet when you go to Shieldapps website it's blocked with warnings that it could be harmful. I'm sure there's nothing bad there and WW3 won't start if you ignore the warnings but I found it rather amusing all the same. Won't be downloading as I already have similar on my machine.

just click the url to check the Homepage of the Publisher.
then it is blocked by an installed s/w on my pc which was a GOTD free offer last week.
there is info in the warning message.
i do not know what to say as an free offer block another free offer in GOTD.
