NordVPN, one of the best VPNs on the market, today announced that its Threat Protection Pro tool ranks third among 35 competitors for identifying fake online stores

Threat Protection Pro's anti-phishing reliability was certified in an independent test earlier this year and it is currently participating in AV-Comparatives' Fake Shop Detection Test 2024

Thirty-five different solutions for detecting fake stores were put to the test, and NordVPN ranked third overall in AV-Comparatives' rigorous testing, each candidate was given 500 fake stores and 100 real sites nordVPN Threat Protection Pro proved correct in 70% of cases

This may sound unbelievable, but it came in third in the overall stakes, well ahead of established antivirus names like Avast, AVG, and McAfee Of course, subscriptions also allow for a host of other privacy tools and our No 1 VPN choice; the only provider that outperformed NordVPN was a shopping-only extension

Commenting on the scam, Domininkas Virbickas, head of development at Threat Protection Development, said: “Fake shopping sites receive payment from unsuspecting customers and then disappear without delivering the purchased goods We have seen this happen with these sites We are doing our utmost to protect our customers from the serious consequences caused by such sites"

The company is also working to ensure that its customers are not exposed to any of these sites

A convenient aspect of Threat Protection Pro is that it does not even require a connection to NordVPN in order to use it, and can be enabled or disabled with a single click
