No. TreeWalk will only work as well as you've set up your computer and devices to begin with. TreeWalk DNS is not a security application - it is DNS software. Your Windows machine should be properly set up and secured before you install it. For additional information regarding Windows security, please review the links for that category on our Miscellaneous Information page (under the "Computer Security" heading and other topics there) before installing TreeWalk for the first time.

Whether you decide to use TreeWalk or any other application, it is advisable to try to understand your computer's security implications, if even at a basic level. If you're interested in this topic you may wish to review our Ad Server Blocking pages as well. Note that if you make significant changes to your system afterwards, it is possible that you may have to uninstall any TreeWalk plug-ins, then TreeWalk, in that order. You can re-install TreeWalk later, then re-install any TreeWalk plug-ins that you may wish to use.
