AFKSecurity is an extra protection layer for Windows 10/11 that monitors and analyzes high‑risk areas/events (downloads, removable drives, suspicious execution) and applies configurable protection measures.
On first launch, AFKSecurity downloads essential data files required for operation (rules, models, lists). No personal content is sent: the software only contacts update servers to download technical files.
If updates are blocked by your firewall/network, AFKSecurity may not operate correctly or may provide reduced protection.
By default, AFKSecurity can add itself to Windows startup to stay active. This option can be disabled from the UI.
To avoid aggressive actions on a “new” system, some advanced features may remain in a learning mode for about 72 hours after first execution.
AFKSecurity stores its data and logs in:
%LOCALAPPDATA%\AFKSecurity\
Example: %LOCALAPPDATA%\AFKSecurity\data (data) / logs (logs) / quarantine (quarantine)
Windows (SmartScreen) may display “Unknown publisher” while the executable is not digitally signed.
If a SHA‑256 fingerprint is published on the purchase page, you can verify the downloaded file integrity using:
PowerShell: Get-FileHash .\setup.exe -Algorithm SHA256
Some download sites or reviewers may check the file on VirusTotal. Results can change over time.
