Your Security. Our Mission.
Find and remove malware. Simply.
LC9 Defence scans your Windows PC for viruses, trojans, spyware and ransomware, tells you what it found in plain English, and locks threats away safely. LC9 Free costs nothing and works offline.
For Windows 11 and Windows 10. No payment card for LC9 Free.

How LC9 Defence protects your computer
Layered checks that run on your PC. Your files are never uploaded anywhere.
Known threats
Every file is checked against signed malware definitions stored on your PC: exact fingerprints and byte patterns of known malware.
Warning signs
LC9 looks inside programs and scripts without running them: hidden code, code injection, password theft, backup deletion, disguised file names.
Fewer false alarms
Signed software from trusted publishers isn't flagged on suspicion alone, and suspicious files are never removed without you choosing to.
Safe quarantine
Threats are encrypted and locked away so they can't run. Nothing is deleted for good unless you say so.
