Safeguarding Your Online Presence with Shield’s VPN

The holiday season often means escaping the cold for some and diving into it for others, whether hitting the slopes or cozying up in a ski lodge. While these getaways are the perfect way to relax and recharge, they also often require relying on public WiFi networks. 


The statistics are in for 2024 aren't in yet, but if last year is any indication, we can expect most of the same, with one in four people becoming victims of private information breaches when using public Wi-Fi.

Using Shield: Antivirus Home Screen’s VPN while on public WiFi is crucial for keeping your internet connection private and your personal data secure. The VPN encrypts your online data, making it unreadable to anyone who might intercept it. This is especially important when performing sensitive activities such as making online purchases or checking your bank accounts.


By activating Shield’s VPN, you can use any public hotspot with the confidence that your information is encrypted and hidden from prying eyes.
