# Does Sapher Shield block malware?

## No—Sapher Shield protects from scam sites, not device malware.

Sapher Shield detects and flags suspicious activity through smart algorithms and a database of records, to ensure you are protected while you browse the internet. We do not check your installed apps and software for viruses or malware.
