Overview of Menlo
MenIo offers a new approach to protecting users from Web-based threats by preventing them from even touching the device being used.
It behaves as a proxy, or an intermediary, between the Internet and a PC, sending all online inquiries to the isolation platform, which in turn executes the requested actions.
MenIo brings several attractive solutions for increasing online security.
How to Set It Up and Uninstall
Setting up MenIo is straightforward, especially since you don’t have to install any new software.
It’s cloud-based, so all you need to do is input your credentials once you purchase the plan of choice. To set it up, do the following:
- Open your browser and go to Internet options.
- Visit LAN settings.
- Check the ‘Automatic Configuration Script’ option.
- Visit the ‘Local Intranet’ zone in Security.
- Uncheck all three options.
- Restart your browser.
Features
The set of features offered by this security company is imposing in some aspects, while they entirely lack in others. All in all, this solution is close to ideal for online safety, but otherwise falls short off the mark.
