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.
