The free antivirus market is broken. Avast, AVG, and others have quietly turned "free" into "free to annoy you until you pay." Millions of users worldwide are underprotected.
ANTIVYRE started in 2019, had a working beta by 2021, and is now rebuilt from the ground up with Google Magika — an AI-powered file identification engine with 99% accuracy across 200+ file types.
- 100% free. No ads, no upsells, no hidden tiers. Donations are voluntary.
- AI-powered. Google Magika identifies real file types regardless of extension — catches disguised malware the old tools miss.
- Open source. GPL v3. Inspect every line of code.
- Community-driven. Translations, signatures, and features contributed by users worldwide.
- Privacy-first. Nothing leaves your machine. No telemetry, ever.
