An honest desktop app. On-demand malware scanning, PC cleanup, network guard, and startup control — every finding feeds the same adaptive engine that protects your APIs.

Hashes your files and checks each one against MalwareBazaar's public malware feed. Signature-based, honest, and updated hourly.
Finds reclaimable space in browser caches, temp folders, old downloads, and large files. Moves to the recycle bin — never a hard delete.
