A very unique and original UI and arrangement, it is your own, one of a kind, HAWK EYE
I also like the easy to view and follow settings window(s).

To be honest, I still can’t believe I made it…

UI framework, scan engine, GPU acceleration, AVX 512, serverless logic (edge computing), AI… full stack.

The C++ executable on scan uses ~10 mb memory (loading extended whitelists which are necessary).

I never had to go full stack on a project before.

The official website will soon be updated as well.

@Trident

Will you add the scan engines to virustotal

Not anytime soon. I already have a full time job, so I am coming home after work and I am spending 6-7 hours working on various features.

Chasing certifications and VirusTotal presence at the moment is not my priority, my priority is to deliver solutions that work.
There are quite a few innovative features here and that’s not even the main project I am working on.

Everything else is wasting time that I can put into working on the product.

Big update planned for tonight.

Integrated Helios Advanced Correlational Engine

When threats have been detected, this engine performs deep search for related artifacts, and fixes settings commonly modified by malware.

Improved scan flow backend

Yeah. That’s a design choice. I am creating a robust exclusions addition system. The scope of the scan was increased to now include processes and modules.

New update published:

Integrated Helios Cloud AI

For you to know that it is working, AiDefender itself is flagged-just so you can feel the power of the cloud. That's normal and will persist for the next few days.
AiDefender is still an unsigned executable, new and not so famous software without a large audience and the file is recompiled pretty much daily.

These (and some other parameters) is what the cloud is looking for.

Entire files, as well as full file paths containing usernames are not submitted.

The Helios AI engine works based on a broad range of pre-defined features, just like other AV models.

Not all files are checked against AI, there are pre-filters.

Detections generated by the Cloud AI are named Helios:Generic!CDAS

This is interesting. I'm considering using this and add Adguard Desktop to ditch 3rd party security.

Do I need to disable MD tamper protection to use this?

You will have to disable temporarily to apply your settings and profile, you will see a prompt.

The Deep Firewall Control and quick scan options are not affected by tamper protection.

That sounds great. So this does exactly like CD but offers extra functionality?

Both Configure Defender and Defender Hardening Console will allow you to configure settings which otherwise are hidden in registry and group policies.

But DHC is designed to solve many Defender problems in one go, not just to enable ASR rules.

I just updated the website to the newer revision, looks incredible on iPhone and Mac
