Why is the scanning speed of Antivirus AI sometimes slower compared to other antivirus apps?

At Protectstar™, our top priority is ensuring the highest level of security for our users. Antivirus AI is designed with cutting-edge technology to provide comprehensive protection against a wide range of threats, including highly sophisticated, state-sponsored malware like Pegasus and FinSpy. While this robust protection is one of our product’s greatest strengths, it can sometimes result in slower scanning speeds compared to other antivirus apps.

Factors Contributing to Slower Scanning Speeds:

Dual Engine Technology:

  • Antivirus AI employs a sophisticated Dual Engine system, which combines the strengths of two powerful antivirus engines. This integration enhances detection capabilities by ensuring that one engine complements the other, covering all potential threat vectors. However, this thorough process can sometimes slow down the scanning speed, as each file and process undergoes rigorous analysis by both engines.

AI-Enhanced Detection:

  • Our advanced AI technology is constantly learning and adapting to new threats detected globally. When new malware is identified, it undergoes an intensive analysis within our AI Cloud, ensuring that all users receive immediate protection against emerging threats. This level of vigilance and adaptability may add to the scanning time but ensures that your device is protected against the latest and most sophisticated threats.

Comprehensive Protection Approach:

  • We accept a trade-off in scanning speed to provide a more thorough security protocol. Our Deep Detective™ technology monitors processes in real-time, utilizing a database of over 126 million attack signatures. This comprehensive protection strategy, which includes proactive monitoring and real-time scanning, inevitably takes more time but significantly enhances your device's security.

Speed vs. Security:

  • While we strive to optimize both speed and security, our priority is clear: your safety. We believe that a slightly longer scan time is a small price to pay for the assurance that your device is thoroughly protected against even the most elusive threats. However, we are continuously working on improving our scanning algorithms to enhance speed without compromising on security.

Future Improvements:

  • We are committed to ongoing technological advancements that aim to balance scanning speed and security more effectively. Future updates will focus on reducing scan times while maintaining the high level of protection that our users expect from Antivirus AI.


Our Commitment to Your Safety

Comprehensive Detection: A faster scan often means a more superficial one. Our approach ensures that even the most cunning and hidden malware is detected, thoroughly analyzing every aspect of your device's software environment.

Real-World Consequences: While speed is important, missing critical threats during a quick scan can lead to serious consequences, such as data theft, privacy breaches, and financial loss. Our comprehensive scanning process is designed to mitigate these risks, offering you peace of mind.

Advanced Threat Protection: Modern cyber threats are increasingly sophisticated and require detailed analysis to detect. Our AI-driven Dual Engine strategy is specifically tailored to identify and neutralize such advanced threats.

 

We are dedicated to optimizing our scanning processes to enhance speed without sacrificing security. Protectstar™ stands by its promise to deliver the most secure antivirus solution. If you experience significant delays or have further questions about our scanning process, please don’t hesitate to contact our Support Heroes at Protectstar Support.
