About DeepGuard

When a file or program is first launched, F-Secure's security programs verify its safety from the Security Cloud file reputation service. If it cannot be verified, DeepGuard starts to monitor its behavior. DeepGuard automatically blocks files or programs that try to make potentially harmful changes to the system.

This detection indicates that the file or program tried to make changes to the system that are similar to those performed by known trojans. These may include:

  • Adding, editing or deleting files
  • Modifying important system settings
  • Collecting confidential data from the system
  • Gaining access to system components that are normally restricted
  • Downloading files from a remote website or server
  • Connecting to a remote website or server
  • Transmitting data to a remote website or server
