Crucial security when using hotspots in coffee shops, hotels, airports and other public Wi-Fi access points, TrustConnect creates an impenetrable shield by encrypting your transmissions in all such public as well as private locations. TrustConnect ensures your privacy and prevents ID or data theft, including Web site addresses, instant messaging, personal information, plain text user names and passwords. It stops hackers from scanning or attacking a system from a local network because your transmissions are unreadable to them and their origin is completely hidden as well. Once loaded on your PC you may also use the service to protect other devices such as iPhone, SmartPhone and iPad.
