What it does

Keeps the eGuard app from being deleted, so the protections you set stay in place.

eGuard stays visible on the device the whole time. This protection stops removal, not your child's view of what's on.

What your child sees

eGuard's icon and home screen as usual. Trying to remove it doesn't work.

How eGuard checks it

The device reports whether uninstall protection is active. If it's switched off, eGuard alerts you. A device that stops checking in shows as offline, so you'd notice either way.
