A1RunGuard is a free, robust solution designed to block unwanted programs and provide password protection for any executable file, along with additional anti-ransomware features. This app is capable of preventing certain ransomware attacks by intercepting the launch of programs and analyzing their command lines, raising an alarm only if a dangerous combination is detected. A1RunGuard allows you to set a main password or unique passwords for each program, ensuring comprehensive protection. It can block any unwanted process by file name or full path without slowing down your computer's performance. Unlike other security tools, A1RunGuard does not install system drivers, use real-time monitoring, or alter system files. Fully compatible with Windows 11/10/8/7/Server (64-bit and 32-bit) and any antivirus software, A1RunGuard offers a seamless and effective security layer for your system.





A1RunGuard has some useful features but also falls short in certain areas. The tracking is sometimes inconsistent, yet the social element helps a lot. I’m giving it a chance for now, but I hope they improve it!
