AFKSecurity is an additional protection layer for Windows 10/11. It monitors and analyzes high-risk zones and events (downloads, removable media, suspicious execution) and can apply configurable protection measures.
On first run, AFKSecurity may download essential data required for operation (rules, models, lists). No personal content is uploaded: the software only connects to download updates.
By default, AFKSecurity can add itself to Windows startup to stay active. This can be disabled in the UI.
To reduce aggressive actions on a fresh system, certain advanced protections may remain in a learning mode for roughly 72 hours after first run.
AFKSecurity stores its local data and logs in:
%LOCALAPPDATA%\AFKSecurity\
Example: %LOCALAPPDATA%\AFKSecurity\data (data) / logs (logs) / quarantine (quarantine)
Windows may show “Unknown publisher” (SmartScreen) while the executable is not code-signed.
If a SHA-256 fingerprint is published on the purchase page, you can verify the downloaded file integrity with:
PowerShell: Get-FileHash .\AFKSecurity_Setup.exe -Algorithm SHA256
Download sites or reviewers may check the installer with VirusTotal. Results can change over time.
