Has anyone ever heard of a program called "Seraph Secure" (seraphsecure[.]com).

Its purpose is to block remote access software (e.g. TeamViewer) from being installed on a computer. Apparently it was created by a YouTuber.
A family member is considering installing this on the computer of someone who has fallen for tech support scams before, but I have never heard of it and was wondering if it is legitimate and effective.

Thanks

Warn your older loved ones! Sharing articles by a pal whose mom was scammed out of life savings. USA not doing much to combat the growing scam, and organized crime is getting into the "game" now too. So, I want to help amplify this info, and remind you to tell your aging family to unplug computer if anything weird happens, if people bully them, then call family, etc.
