Quick Heal Launches Antivirus with AI Assistant and Dark Web Monitoring
Imagine your computer is like your house, and viruses are like little burglars.
Quick Heal has made a new security guard for your computer called version 26.
This guard has a smart helper robot named SIA who can explain what's happening in a way you can easily understand, without using confusing words.
It also has special eyes that can predict if a burglar is coming even if they haven't tried to break in before.
This new guard can also watch the dark web to see if your secret information is being shared where it shouldn't be.
It even helps protect you from tricky scams online, like fake messages trying to steal your money.
The company has been protecting computers for a long time and is always working to make new ways to keep everyone safe online.
Quick Heal Technologies has released version 26 of its Total Security antivirus software.
The new version includes an AI-powered assistant called SIA for user-friendly explanations of security alerts.
Advanced features include predictive threat-hunting technology (GoDeep.AI) and an AI-powered anti-fraud tool (Antifraud.AI).
The solution offers Dark Web Monitoring 2.0 to track personal information online and metaProtect integration for unified device management.
The launch coincides with the company's 30th anniversary and aims to address evolving cyber threats and online scams.

Quick Heal's AI Capabilities
Limitations of Current Protections
AI-powered Security Assistant (SIA)
Quick Heal's AI Capabilities
SIA provides jargon-free explanations and step-by-step solutions, making cybersecurity accessible to all users.
Limitations of Current Protections
While AI helps automate threat analysis and offers predictive capabilities, it struggles with highly sophisticated, unknown threats like 'paid spyware' (e.g., Pegasus) until a user is affected.
Predictive Threat Hunting
Quick Heal's AI Capabilities
GoDeep.AI proactively hunts for threats by learning from historical data, protecting against zero-day attacks.
Limitations of Current Protections
Protection against advanced spyware like Pegasus, for which no researcher has access, is difficult to achieve pre-emptively. Detection relies on users being affected first, prompting patches.
