Who We Are and What Drives Us

Building cybersecurity tools that protect real people, with precision and integrity.

We’ve followed our own route since launching Gridinsoft in 2008. Self‑funded, research‑driven, and run by the same malware analyst who built our first detection engine, we answer only to one group—our users. That freedom lets us share threat intelligence openly, refine our tools without outside agendas, and keep privacy at the heart of everything we make.

User Focus
User Focus
We build for users, not investors
Self‑funded and run by malware analysts, Gridinsoft answers only to the people who trust us to keep them safe. We control our own roadmap, tune every update to real‑world threats - not quarterly targets - and measure success by your protection, not investor returns.
User Insight
User Insight
Built for the people we troubleshoot every day
Our first testers weren’t anonymous “average users.” They were pros and non‑tech‑savvy folks we know—friends who game, relatives who stream, parents who store years of family photos on a single laptop. While they didn’t always understand computers, they all needed a straightforward way to erase hidden threats and keep things running fast. By focusing on their everyday challenges, we’ve crafted a cleaner that’s quick, transparent, and effective for anyone who values a safe, uncluttered PC.
Privacy First
Privacy First
Your privacy stays your own — no exceptions
We don’t collect personal files, browsing history, or behavior data. The only thing our cloud sees are depersonalized file hashes - used to check for known threats, nothing more. We don’t use tracking cookies, don’t sell data, and never follow you with ads. What you scan stays private - unless you choose to share it with us for analysis.
Full Control
Full Control
Your system stays yours
We don’t touch your documents, control your system, or lock you into our tools. Gridinsoft doesn’t create proprietary formats, force cloud storage, or leave behind hidden processes. You stay in charge—install it, use it, remove it if you want. No strings attached, and nothing held hostage.
Human‑Led AI
Human‑Led AI
We use AI to fight threats, not skip judgment
AI helps us detect emerging malware faster, but it never makes the final call alone. Every decision that could affect your system is backed by human analysis and clear logic. We won’t trade accuracy or transparency for automation—and we’ll never let AI compromise your control, your data, or your trust.
Transparent Pricing
Transparent Pricing
One clear subscription. Hour‑by‑hour security
Every hour, our team updates the threat database to keep up with new malware. That’s what your subscription supports—constant research, live protection, and tools that don’t cut corners. Gridinsoft offers one clear subscription that includes everything: hourly updates, full malware removal, and support when you need it. No extra charges, no feature gates, no confusion. Just clear pricing for serious work.
Built to Last
Built to Last
It started in 2008 — and we’re still here because of you
Gridinsoft began as a small team trying to solve problems for people we cared about. That hasn’t changed. Since 2008, we’ve been learning, adapting, and doing the work ourselves—every single day. We’re proud of what we’ve built, but we know it only matters because people like you trust us to protect what’s important. So thank you—for being part of this journey, and for letting us be part of yours.
Security isn’t a product. It’s a mindset.
What we build comes from real-world experience and a long-standing commitment to ƒ√practical security. We don’t follow trends — we focus on creating tools that solve everyday problems with clarity and speed. Good security isn’t about noise or fear. It’s about trust, reliability, and getting the job done.

Our products are used by individuals and professionals around the world, every day. We design them to be accessible, effective, and respectful of your time and privacy. Because security should feel simple — even when what’s under the hood is complex.
