What Caracal delivers
Caracal uses machine learning and the detection techniques in its scanner together, helping reduce threats while reducing the false positives that can come from relying on ML alone.
01 / Protection
Caracal does not rely on machine learning alone. It combines ML verdicts with static indicators, file type and size, SHA-256 context, label mismatch checks, suspicious strings, and browser-footprint signals. That broader evidence helps identify more advanced threats while keeping safe software from being flagged without a reason.
Get protected →02 / Privacy
Caracal checks browser history for fingerprinting, cross-site tracking, and suspicious website code indicators that can make your device easier to track.
Protect your footprint →03 / Performance
Find heavy user applications and temporarily limit their impact. Protected Windows processes stay untouched, while you remain in control of what gets changed.
Keep your PC focused →04 / Safeguards
Create a protected copy of important files without moving or changing the original. A simple extra layer before you inspect or handle a file.
Add a safe copy →05 / Access
