Protection from ads, trackers, and malware. It’s more than just a VPN.
Threat Protection is a security solution designed to defend you from everyday online cyber threats, like malware and trackers. It scans your files while you’re downloading them, identifies threats, and blocks them before they can harm your device.
NordVPN’s CyberSec feature has been upgraded to Threat Protection — a powerful anti-malware tool. Similarly to an antivirus, Threat Protection scans the files you download for malware and blocks them before they infect your device.
Threat Protection also blocks trackers and intrusive ads and stops you from landing on malicious websites.
Threat Protection
Offers threat prevention even when your device isn’t connected to a VPN server. Available on Windows and macOS, it blocks ads, trackers, and malicious websites and scans suspicious files for malware during download.
Threat Protection Lite
Threat Protection Lite works when you’re connected to a VPN. Blocks ads and malicious websites. Available on mobile devices (Android, iOS) and other platforms (Windows, macOS, Linux, Chrome, Firefox, and Edge).
