Who We Are and What Drives Us
Building cybersecurity tools that protect real people, with precision and integrity.
Gridinsoft began as a home business with a website in 2003. Gridinsoft LLC was registered in 2008. Self-funded and research-driven, we build cybersecurity tools and share threat intelligence to help people investigate and remove threats.
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.
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.
Understand what each service processes
Website visits, account records, application diagnostics, and online file submissions involve different data. Our website uses analytics and advertising technologies. Optional Anti-Malware scan statistics are controlled in the application settings. The online scanner processes your file without retaining it or sharing it with third parties. File names, hashes, and analysis results may appear in public reports. Read How we use your data and our Privacy Policy before submitting sensitive information.
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.
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.
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.
A home business in 2003, a registered company in 2008
Our website started as a home business in 2003, before the company was registered in 2008. These dates mark different stages of our history. Our Ukrainian office address is in Kyiv; the former Kremenchug office is closed.
Security isn’t a product. It’s a mindset.
What we build comes from real-world experience and a long-standing commitment to 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.
