Privado Sentry is the antivirus solution included with select PrivadoVPN Premium plans and available as an optional add-on for others. Designed to work seamlessly with PrivadoVPN, it provides continuous protection against malware, unsafe applications, and system threats on Windows and Android devices.
What Privado Sentry Does
Privado Sentry combines real-time scanning and advanced behavioral detection to stop threats before they cause harm. It automatically checks apps, system files, and background processes for suspicious activity — and removes or quarantines harmful software to keep your devices running safely.
On Android, Privado Sentry is integrated directly into the PrivadoVPN app. On Windows, it’s a stand-alone application that installs alongside PrivadoVPN for full system protection.
Why Privado Sentry Matters
Modern threats target every layer of your system, from browsers to apps and background services. Privado Sentry actively monitors for these risks and works with PrivadoVPN’s Control Tower tools to keep your devices and data protected.
When combined with features like Threat Prevention, Ad Blocker, and Secure DNS, it forms a complete defense system against phishing sites, trackers, and malicious software.
