Helios

Catches What Others Miss

The sun sees everything. So does Helios. Our AI-powered engine blends static and behavioral analysis to detect threats that slip past traditional scanners.

Illuminate the darkness. Hunt the unseen.

Core Technology

AI-Powered Dual Analysis

Here's the thing about standard scanners: they look at files or behavior. Never both together. Helios doesn't play favorites. Our AI blends static signatures with real-time behavioral patterns, cross-referencing them in ways that make threats very, very uncomfortable.

Think of it as having X-ray vision AND a sixth sense. At the same time.

Deep Inspection

We Look Everywhere

Threats hide in the strangest places. Registry corners, scheduled task shadows, startup crevices, service configurations, browser depths, and memory hollows.

Helios doesn't just scan—it hunts. Every persistence mechanism, every autorun location, every sneaky hook that malware uses to survive reboots. We shine a light into every dark corner of your system.

If it's hiding, we'll find it.

Proprietary Tech

Aggressive Heuristics That Go Deep

Our proprietary heuristic engine doesn't just scratch the surface—it digs until there's nothing left to find. Fine-tuned detection patterns that clean up threats in depth, catching the clever ones that hide in plain sight.

Correlational analysis connects the dots across your system, identifying related threat artifacts and removing them together. No orphaned remnants, no leftover traces—just a clean system. And you stay in control: review what's found and decide what gets removed.

Intelligence Network

Third-Party Feeds & Reputation

We don't work alone. Helios cross-references against multiple third-party threat feeds and reputation databases. If something's been flagged anywhere in the security community, we'll know about it.

40+
Botnet Heuristics

Plus live botnet feeds that detect malicious C2 connections happening right now on your system. No phone-home goes unnoticed.

Raw Speed

C++23 & AVX2

Built with modern C++23 and AVX2 SIMD optimizations. Because security shouldn't mean sacrificing performance.

Recovery

System Health Repair

Detection is just the start. Helios helps repair damaged system settings and restore your PC to a healthy state after an infection.

FP Mitigation

Smart heuristics that minimize false positives. We catch the bad guys, not your legitimate software.

Deep Firewall Control

Untrusted programs love to phone home. DFC inspects the reputation of every module—the slightest anomaly and all of a program's components get blocked. Correlational logic traces connections between executables, DLLs, and child processes. If one piece looks suspicious, everything related gets cut off.
