SwiftKit has been used by hundreds of thousands of players for a number of years as a RuneScape Toolkit. Until recently, it was known as ‘SwiftSwitch’, and it is still just as safe as it was before.

There are over 2,000,000 total downloads of SwiftKit, and approximately 15,000 users using it at any time.

Remember though, the safety of SwiftKit can only be guaranteed if it is downloaded directly from http://www.SwiftKit.net, http://www.Zybez.net or http://www.download.com. These are the only sites where you can be sure your copy of SwiftKit is safe and legal.

SwiftKit has been scanned using a variety of reputable Anti-Virus Software, with the results of these scans available at the bottom of this post, so that you can be comfortable in knowing that you don’t just have to take our word for it. We encourage you to scan every file you download from the internet yourself too. After all, it’s better to do extra prevention than to spend time curing.

If your worried about the updates SwiftKit downloads; don’t! It is not possible for malicious updates to be pushed out via the SwiftKit Launcher. The reason for this is because the Launcher protects you from any unofficial updates, for example the unlikely event that an update server ever got compromised. The launcher does this by checking the integrity of all updates downloaded, if the integrity check fails it will immediately stop the update and delete the file.

When connecting to RuneScape, SwiftKit connects directly to RuneScape.com using the Internet Explorer control. This means that it's the same as simply opening your browser and typing in www.runescape.com. As such, connecting to RuneScape through SwiftKit is just as safe as connecting through your internet browser.

Remember, although SwiftKit is safe, there are other websites and programs that aren’t. No matter how safe you are, you are constantly at risk while connected to the internet. There are some websites that will download a virus to your computer without your knowledge, and pirated music, videos and software very often have viruses contained in the data. It is recommended that you use a firewall while connected to the internet to prevent unauthorized programs sending data from your computer, and regularly run a virus scan on your computer, preferably at least every fortnight. Preventing is easier than fixing.
