POLAR ANTIVIRUS free

Wait. Forgive my ignorance.

Does this REALLY use the Kaspersky Engine? Even if you are in the USA?

And does it provide real time protection or is it a secondary opinion scan like Malwarebytes FREE?

You need to obtain an API key from VirusTotal or Kaspersky OpenTip (free or paid).To avoid conflicts: If you have another antivirus program installed on your computer (such as Kaspersky), you can disable it from the Polar menu to prevent code conflicts.
I'm not sure if it works in the United States. You can test it and let us know the result.

Seeing Kaspersky Engine ON literally blew me away. Great job, @tiktoshi I'm curious to try out POLAR ANTIVIRUS. I liked the GUI. ;)
Looks fine.
Glad to hear that the Kaspersky Engine literally blew you away! Thanks for the kind words. Trying out POLAR ANTIVIRUS will definitely be exciting, especially with the GUI you liked. If you give it a try, do share your thoughts!

Some Bug can be fixed over time.

Kaspersky for free 364 days has no limit on Check operations.

Virus Total for free offers a maximum of 500 checks per day.

The application currently stores a hash cache in a file next to the application for each verified file to reduce attempt consumption.
And speed in detection without an internet connection

TY for the response. Allow me to ask this another way. Concerning Kaspersky and the USA. Kaspersky is not allowed to run in the USA, their servers are kaput. NO other antivirus who uses the Kaspersky engine is allow either. So that was why I asked about Kaspersky working via Polar. Even the Kaspersky offline scanner is not functional, unless you sidestep the ban with a VPN.
