From now on, every page in its catalogue will include visible security reports, allowing users to easily check the reliability of a file before downloading it.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Security checks have long been part of Softonic\u2019s verification process. Until now, program pages only displayed a simple Clean\/Warned\/Blocked status, without detailed explanations or real-time updates. With Security Reports, this information is now public and accessible, offering greater transparency and helping users make safer and more confident decisions.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Each report includes key data to guarantee safe downloads: the file\u2019s status (clean or flagged with a warning), the date of its most recent review, the antivirus tools used, additional verification from platforms such as VirusTotal, and Softonic\u2019s ongoing security commitment to every user.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Currently, 35% of Softonic\u2019s catalogue already includes Security Reports, and the company expects to reach 100% coverage in the coming months. More than three million monthly users are already benefiting from this new level of visibility, reducing the uncertainty that often comes with downloading new programs.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">As part of its roadmap, Softonic is extending this transparency to mobile, with a Mobile Security Report that will analyse app permissions, including access to camera, contacts, and location and highlight those most sensitive to user privacy. With over 60% of Softonic\u2019s traffic coming from mobile, this represents a strategic priority for the company.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\u201cSecurity isn\u2019t new here\u2014its visibility is. Our product now turns complex detections into everyday understanding\u2014live updates, permission transparency, and context in plain language\u2014helping users choose quickly and confidently across devices,\u201d said Jouni Kuisma, Head of Product at Softonic.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">This improvement in the visibility of security checks meets a growing user demand: people want safe, transparent, and easy-to-understand downloads. With Security Reports, Softonic reinforces its long-standing commitment to digital security and sets a new standard of trust for the software industry.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><strong>About Softonic<\/strong><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Softonic is a global technology company specialising in the safe distribution of software.
