How Warden compares

Checked against each product's own website and help pages on 5 and 6 November 2026.

Only Warden documents cutting one program off the internet while it still runs, blocking folders and files, catching look-alike sites, and protection from pasted-command scams and remote-access tools.
Hard to switch off: a password, a waiting period before protection goes down, a partner who holds the unlock code, uninstall protection and limits on pausing. All in one product.
No account. Nothing about your browsing leaves your PC.
