Floof Shield

Version 3.4.0 / Windows 10 and 11

The all-in-one app. One window with Home, Scan, Clean, Update, Apps & Space, Subscriptions and Settings down the side. Floof Shield includes Floof Cleaner and Floof Updater, with a Full Scan button that cleans, updates your apps and checks your protection in one go, and keeps the results on screen until you look at them. Its scan shows how well your PC is protected and where tracking and malware could get in, in plain words, with a Fix button beside anything that needs it. It works with Windows' own protection rather than replacing it, and every change can be undone.

What it checks

  • Protection: virus protection, definitions, last scan, firewall, SmartScreen, Windows Update, drive encryption (whether BitLocker is available, on or paused) and memory integrity, plus a one-click virus scan
  • Turns on Windows' built-in blocking of adware and junk apps, which ships switched off
  • Spyware: known keyloggers and spyware, remote-control tools scammers use, unsigned programs running from user folders or talking to the internet, suspicious scheduled tasks, and Defender exclusions malware hides behind, plus full and restart-time deep scans
  • Camera and microphone: which apps used them and when, and anything using them right now
  • Windows hardening: Remote Desktop and Remote Assistance left open, the old SMBv1 protocol, the Guest account, weakened permission prompts, AutoPlay, public vs private networks, and Defender's ransomware protection
  • Backup and recovery: whether OneDrive, File History or another backup is protecting your files, and System Restore, with a one-click restore point
  • Startup programs: who made each one, whether it's signed, and a flag on anything unknown
  • Browser extensions in Chrome, Edge, Brave, Vivaldi and Firefox that can read every site or didn't come from the store
  • Tampering: hosts file redirects, hidden proxies, swapped search engines, forced browser policies and odd DNS

What it can switch off

  • Windows' advertising ID and "tailored experiences"
  • Start menu, lock screen and Settings ads and suggestions
  • App launch tracking, and websites reading your language list
  • Optional: Quad9, a free nonprofit DNS that blocks known malware and phishing sites in every app
  • Apps and space: every installed app with its size and when you last used it, flags on preinstalled junk, one-click uninstall, and what's filling your drive
  • Subscriptions: links to see and cancel subscriptions at Microsoft, Apple, Google, Amazon, PayPal, Meta and Adobe, the paid-plan apps on your PC, and the repeating charges in a bank or card statement you import (read on your PC, never sent anywhere)
  • Full Scan on a schedule (weekly or monthly) with a Windows notification of what it did
  • Quick tools: a virus scan, fresh virus definitions or a restore point in one click
  • Every switch has Undo, and nothing changes until you click
1

Download and install

Click Install. Floof Shield appears in your Start menu, with Cleaner and Updater beside it, and checks for its own updates when it opens. Prefer no install? Cleaner and Updater also come as single files.

2

If Windows warns you

Windows is cautious with new apps. If you see "Windows protected your PC", click More info, then Run anyway.

3

Click Full Scan

It cleans, updates your apps and checks your protection, then shows one summary. If a browser is open, it offers to close it first so trackers can be removed.

Want more control?

Click Check first to see what it finds before anything is deleted, or Choose what to clean to pick for yourself. Click Also clean Windows files to include the Windows temp and update folders, which need administrator permission.

To clean automatically, schedule it with the /auto switch. It quietly cleans the everyday items and never touches all cookies, history or the Recycle Bin. For example, weekly: schtasks /create /tn "Floof Cleaner" /sc weekly /tr "\"C:\Tools\FloofCleaner.exe\" /auto"

Floof Shield for Mac

Version 1.1.0 / macOS 13 Ventura or newer, Apple silicon and Intel

The same app, built for the Mac. Home, Scan, Clean, Update, Apps & Space, Subscriptions and Settings down the side, with a Full Scan button that cleans, updates your apps and checks your Mac in one go. It's signed and approved by Apple, so it opens without warnings, and it works with your Mac's own protection rather than replacing it.

What it checks

  • Protection: app checks (Gatekeeper), System Integrity Protection, FileVault disk encryption, the firewall, Apple's malware definitions, automatic security updates and waiting macOS updates
  • Spyware: known keyloggers, monitoring and remote-control tools, and which apps can see your keyboard, record your screen, control your Mac, or use your camera and microphone
  • Startup items: who signed each one, with a flag on anything unsigned, hidden or pretending to be Apple
  • Device management: whether an organisation manages the Mac, and any configuration profiles
  • Hardening: Remote Login, Screen Sharing, Remote Management, File Sharing, the guest account, automatic login and the password after sleep
  • Backup: whether Time Machine is set up and when it last finished, and iCloud Desktop & Documents

What else it does

  • Cleaner: tracking cookies in Chrome, Edge, Brave, Vivaldi, Arc and Firefox (you stay signed in), app caches, logs and Xcode build files
  • Updates: macOS, App Store and Homebrew in one place
  • Apps and space: every app with its size and when you last opened it, flags on scareware and paid-plan apps, move to Trash, and what's filling your drive
  • Subscriptions: cancel links, paid-plan apps, and the repeating charges in a bank statement you import (read on your Mac, never sent anywhere)
  • Full Scan on a schedule (weekly or monthly) with a notification, and it keeps itself up to date

Floof Cleaner

Version 1.2.0 / Windows 10 and 11

Removes trackers and junk files in one click, without signing you out of your websites. Most cleaners delete every cookie, so you have to log back in to everything afterwards. Floof Cleaner removes only the tracking ones and leaves your sign-ins alone.

What it cleans

  • Tracking cookies from about 80 ad and tracking networks
  • Analytics IDs on any site (Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, Microsoft, TikTok, Pinterest, Adobe, HubSpot and more)
  • Browser ad-targeting data
  • Temp files, crash dumps and the thumbnail cache
  • Browser caches, plus app caches for Teams, Slack, Discord, VS Code and other desktop apps
  • Graphics shader caches (NVIDIA, AMD, Intel, DirectX)
  • Developer download caches (npm, pip, Yarn, NuGet, Go)
  • With admin permission: Windows Update leftovers, Delivery Optimization files, upgrade logs and memory dumps, the same jobs Windows Disk Cleanup runs

What it never touches

  • Your website sign-ins
  • Saved passwords and autofill
  • Bookmarks and open tabs
  • Browsing history, unless you tick it
  • The Recycle Bin, unless you tick it
  • Your documents, photos or downloads

Floof Updater

Version 1.2.0 / Windows 10 and 11

Finds every app and driver on your PC with a newer version and updates them in one go. Everything comes from official sources: apps from Microsoft's own app catalog with the publisher's installer, drivers from Windows Update.

What it checks

  • Thousands of popular apps, from browsers and Zoom to 7-Zip, VS Code and Adobe Reader
  • Driver updates Windows Update has matched to your hardware
  • Your graphics card driver, with a link to the maker's own updater
  • Devices Windows reports as not working or missing a driver
  • Release notes and the official website for every app

How it stays safe

  • Nothing changes until you click Update
  • Untick anything you want to keep as it is
  • If an installer gets stuck, skip it and it is tried again at the end
  • No driver downloads from unofficial sites
  • A restore point is made before drivers are installed, so they can be rolled back

Floof Claude Controller

Version 1.1.0 / Windows 10 and 11

For people who run several Claude Code terminals at once. Each one holds about 700 MB of memory just by being open, even when it has sat idle for hours. The Controller shows every terminal, how much it uses and how long it has been idle, closes the idle ones, and reopens any of them in one click, right where the conversation left off.

What it does

  • Lists every Claude terminal on the PC: its name, folder, memory, and whether it is working or idle (and for how long). Green while working or idle under an hour, amber after that
  • Closes terminals that have sat idle for a set time (3 hours to start), or all idle ones in one click
  • Restart reopens a terminal in its own window on the same conversation, with the same settings it started with
  • A Closed list keeps everything it closed, ready to restart one or all
  • Lives in the system tray, with a notice when it closes something

How it stays safe

  • Never closes a terminal that is working, or one you marked Keep open
  • Nothing is lost: conversations stay saved on your PC, and Restart picks them back up
  • The first automatic close waits until the Controller has watched for the whole idle period
  • Everything stays on your PC; it reads only Claude's own status files
