Online Security Scan

HouseCall is a security and privacy software by Trend Micro. The software offers services for detecting and fixing known online threats today.

Preventing Threats and Optimizing Browsing

HouseCall is capable of detecting and fixing every possible threat found when browsing. It can detect spyware, worms, and viruses. Other than those common threats, the software can deal with rootkits on the devices connected to the local network. Users can integrate the software on locally connected devices. Hackers will find opportunities to infiltrate devices but this software is able to look for possible vulnerabilities on network devices, along with recommending effective steps for eliminating them. The software comes with several functionalities to make browsing safer than ever before. Its Fileless Detection feature can find and block any suspicious software that could be encrypted outside of the regular files. There are three custom scan options for users to select: quick scan for a daily tuneup, full scan for deep scanning and custom for scanning only specific folders. Scanning with the software is made convenient since its smart scanning feature provides the latest protection, at the same time users can experience minimal download duration. After the software scans everything, it generates scan results and review, as well as an option to restore any corrupted files. It also grants removal of infections found from scanning. This software avoids issues regarding compatibility with every application currently running, specifically web browsers since it is designed to run stand-alone.

Hackers can also initiate a lock screen ransomware that stops users from accessing their system. This software helps anyone victimized by ransomware by recovering their stolen files and remove the lock screen ransomware.

The software has an open-source utility called HijackThis that gives in-depth registry and file settings from systems.

Your review for HouseCall
Softonic

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.
