Extra security

Downloading an app can be risky. Sometimes, apps carry with it malware and other malicious files, even though you download it from a legitimate app store. RuntimeBroker is a security tool that helps keep user’s data and privacy secured and safe from potentially harmful apps. The software discreetly runs in the background and takes note of all apps and web pages that users are accessing. It analyzes them to make sure that they declare all the permissions needed in accessing your photos, contacts, and other personal information. It is a reliable program that can somewhat work as a mediator between users and the apps or pages that they are visiting.

Keeping you informed

Asking for permission once is not enough for users to trust any app, program, or web page. There is always a possibility that the apps you download actually sought or record more information than what you provide. It is, therefore, advisable to have an app that can help you analyze all the apps on your computer. RuntimeBroker’s job is to monitor and help identify if the apps and web pages you use or visit are straightforward and honest with their intentions. Once RuntimeBroker detects that something is off and that suspicious activities are going on, it will immediately warn you. That’s all there really is to this software. It is not intrusive, and will only make its presence known when necessary. All in all, it is a great app to have when you want to protect your computer and saved data from online snoopers. You must note, however, that you will experience an increase in CPU and memory consumption when RuntimeBroker is in use.

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.

Flag any particular issues you may encounter and Softonic will address those concerns as soon as possible.
