Overview / Description
avai is a free, open-source AI security scanner that runs entirely on your computer to check for signs of malware, built for everyday Windows users who want a second opinion on their machine. It inspects the directories, processes, and system locations where malware typically hides, then passes the findings to a local AI model that explains in plain English whether anything looks dangerous. No security expertise is required: instead of cryptic alerts and hash codes, you get a clear explanation of what was found and why it might matter. Because the analysis stays on-device, your files and system data are never sent to an external server, so nothing leaves your machine. avai is aimed at people who want to understand what is happening on their computer without paying for a subscription or handing their data to a cloud service, and being open-source means the code is open to inspection.
Used For
