DeepTide Security Description
While numerous legitimate programs add themselves to Windows Startup, let us not forget that viruses, Trojans, keyloggers and other types of malware can also sneak up in the startup locations without your knowledge.
DeepTide Security is a lightweight application that enables you to keep a close eye on the files being accessed when you boot your computer and hence, help you detect modifications that can indicate a virus infection.
Comes with a clean and minimalistic interface
Following a quick and forthright setup, you come face to face with a bare bones and rugged, yet clean and intuitive interface. In fact, as you can learn from the instructions in the main window, the app displays a list of the Startup programs that are loading during boot in a dedicated text box along with their names and paths.
Therefore, your job entails checking out the list and determining whether you authorized the applications’ behaviors and identify the ones that you know nothing about. Since the app provides you with the location, you can navigate to their folder and remove them from your computer. It goes without saying the app addresses advanced users who have the knowledge to distinguish between potential malware and standard programs.
It should allow you more Startup control
Although it displays all apps that run at Startup, it would have been nice if you could get to their location for further investigation directly from the interface. Navigating to the directories where they are stored can be time-consuming, especially if you do not use a file manager application.
In addition, it would have been nice if the program allowed you to disable, edit, execute and delete the selected apps and view the file properties. The aforementioned actions can help you double check whether you are dealing with legit tools or malware more accurately.
A utility that can help keep your system clean
It is important to note that the program does not constitute a replacement for an antivirus solution, but rather acts as an extra protection layer. In the eventuality that you are downloading and installing numerous applications regularly and would like to make sure that your PC remains clean, then perhaps DeepTide Security can lend you a hand.
