Harder to tamper with. Easier to trust.
A privacy app should be hard to switch off. MoLock 3.0 moves into the protected Program Files folder, puts a password in front of its own settings, checks its own files at start-up, and installs updates silently — but only after verifying every file's signature.

01 / 08How it works
Install once. Protected from then on.
Setup asks for administrator approval once; after that, the MoLock guard service keeps the app updated without bothering you.
- 01Step 1/3
Install for everyone
MoLock goes to Program Files with Start-menu and Desktop shortcuts and a normal entry in Windows' installed apps. Your personal data stays in your own Windows profile.
- 02Step 2/3
Keep the launch password on
On by default after setup: opening the MoLock window — icon, Start menu, tray or a second launch — asks for your password.
- 03Step 3/3
Updates take care of themselves
New versions download, are verified file by file, and are applied by the guard service — no admin prompt each time.
02 / 08What it does
Layers that stack. Quietly.
None of these layers changes how you use MoLock day to day. Together they make it much harder to disable or modify.
Protected folder
Only administrators can change files in Program Files — malware running as you can't.
Launch password
Nobody at your unlocked desk can open MoLock and switch protection off.
Wrong tries are recorded
Each wrong password is logged, with an intruder photo if you enabled it.
Owner alerts
Wrong tries reach you on the channels you choose: dashboard, bot, push or email.
Lockout
After several wrong tries the window stays locked for a while.
Self-check at start-up
MoLock compares its own files with a signed list and refuses tampered ones.
Settings tamper protection
Settings are sealed to your Windows account and checked for edits made outside MoLock.
Bigger vault files
The vault drive now handles files up to 4 GB — setup lifts Windows' small default limit.

03 / 08Moving to 3.0
Your old install moves itself. Your data stays put.
If you installed MoLock before 3.0 in your user folder, the 3.0 update moves it to Program Files once, with a single approval. Settings, vault and history are untouched.
- Desktop shortcutA new Desktop icon alongside the Start menu entry — both protected by the launch password.
- Windows 11 right-click menuMoLock's tools move to the first-level menu once the code-signed edition ships; until then they sit under "Show more options".
- Settings and data carry overYour per-user data was never in the app folder, so nothing needs to be set up again.

04 / 08Privacy
Verified before anything runs.
Updates and engine packs are described in MoLock's signed update information. If a single file doesn't match, it is rejected — never installed.
Signed update information
The list of versions, file sizes and fingerprints is signed with MoLock's key and checked on your PC.
Silent, not blind
No prompt doesn't mean no checks: every update is verified before the guard service applies it.
Your password stays local
The launch password is checked on the PC; it is never sent anywhere.

Someone tried your PC? You'll know.
Wrong launch-password attempts are security events: they reach you through every channel you enabled, even during quiet hours.

06 / 08Limits
Exactly what it does. And what it doesn't.
Administrator approval once
Installing to Program Files needs an administrator once. On a work PC, ask your IT team.
Don't forget the password
The launch password is the same as your MoLock password; recovery works as before through your account or bot.
Code signing is on its way
Windows may still show its "unknown publisher" notice until the signed edition is released.
Not an antivirus
MoLock protects itself and your privacy; keep Windows Security on for malware.

Safer installs: Program Files and a launch password
A security app is only as strong as the place it lives in and the door that opens it. MoLock 3.0 moves into a protected folder, checks every update, and puts a password on its own front door.
Introducing MoLock 3.0: one home at 7ot.app
Version 3.0 is the biggest step since MoLock Account: one address for everything, your own inbox inside the app, family controls, a much faster converter and an install that is far harder to tamper with. Here is what changed, and what deliberately did not.
10 everyday privacy habits for Windows users
Privacy is rarely lost in one dramatic moment. It leaks out through small gaps: an unlocked screen, a photo that carries your home address, a link that never expires. Here are ten habits that close those gaps.
08 / 08Questions
Safer install & launch password
Do I need administrator rights?
Only once. Since 3.0 MoLock installs to the protected Program Files folder for everyone on the PC, so Windows asks for administrator approval at install. After that, updates are applied silently by the guard service with no prompt, and nothing else needs installing. Why this is safer.
How do I install MoLock?
Download the zip file (about 70 MB), extract it and run MoLock.exe. Since 2.6, the installer sets everything up in one flow: your password and recovery code, the lock-screen look with a live preview, your monitoring style (what to capture and when to alert you) and your own Telegram bot. Every option can be changed later. Step-by-step guide.
Windows says "Windows protected your PC". What should I do?
This is the SmartScreen warning that Windows shows for newer apps that are not yet widely distributed. Click "More info", then "Run anyway". Always download MoLock from the official website only.
Does MoLock need an internet connection?
Locking and unlocking work offline. An internet connection is needed only for Telegram and alerts, updates, and some widgets such as weather and currency rates. If you go offline, evidence is held and sent as soon as you reconnect. Notes, to-dos and reminders work offline too, and sync with your portal when you are back online.
How do updates work?
Signed updates download in the background, are verified as genuine and unmodified, and install at a quiet moment, never while the PC is locked. MoLock creates a backup first and rolls back if anything goes wrong. Your password, settings and evidence are never touched, and you are notified when an update completes or fails. Since 2.5 you can update from your bot with /update: see what is new and the download size, follow the progress, and even while locked choose to install now (the PC locks again immediately) or after you unlock. Automatic updates can be turned off in Settings → About, although critical releases may still install.
How do I uninstall MoLock, and what is MoLock Fix?
In Settings, under Reset & uninstall, click "Uninstall MoLock…". MoLock stops the guard service, removes its startup entries, lets you keep or remove your data and cleans up downloaded updates. Uninstall removes only MoLock's own files; anything else in the same folder is left untouched. MoLock Fix, located in the MoLock folder, is a repair tool: it closes MoLock, restores Task Manager and an unresponsive mouse, and can remove everything MoLock added. It shows exactly what it will delete before it starts and keeps a log of what it did.
Why does MoLock 3.0 install to Program Files?
It's a protected folder only administrators can change, so malware can't easily tamper with MoLock. You approve once at install; after that, updates are applied silently once their signature checks out. Older installs move automatically and your data stays in your profile. Details.
Why does MoLock ask for my password when I open it?
So nobody at your unlocked desk can open Settings and switch protection off. It's on by default after setup; each wrong try is logged and alerts you, and MoLock locks for a while after several tries.
