YARA rules

Pattern-based detection from Reversinglabs, signature-base, and the IronWall starter pack.

ML-style heuristics

20-feature PE classifier (EMBER-style) catches threats no signature has seen yet.

Real-time protection

Watches Downloads, Desktop, and other risky paths and scans new files the moment they land.

Anti-ransomware

Folder-protection sliding-window detector flags mass-encryption behavior before it spreads.

Encrypted quarantine

Detected threats are sealed with AES-256-GCM. They can't re-execute and they can't escape.

16,000+
Web protection

Block known malicious domains and phishing hosts at the resolver level.

Full system scan

Inspects autoruns, scheduled tasks, services, and the running process tree, not just files.

How it works

Three steps, then forget about it.

01
Install in 30 seconds

5 MB installer. Sign it, run it, you're protected. No account, no email.

02
Scan when you want, how you want

Quick scan, full scan, custom path scan, or always-on real-time. Your call.

03
Stay protected, automatically

Daily signature updates, scheduled scans, and silent quarantine — always local-first.

Privacy promise

We can't sell your data. We don't have it.

Most antivirus vendors sell subscriptions today and "threat intelligence" tomorrow. We can't, because IronWall has no central database, no user accounts, and no analytics pipeline.

  • Your files never leave your device.

    No cloud uploads. No sandbox. Detection happens on your CPU.

  • We don't have a database.

    No accounts. No email collection. We genuinely don't know who uses IronWall.

  • Open source. Read every line.

    MIT licensed. The detection engine, the UI, the updater — all auditable.

Stop renting your antivirus.

IronWall is free, local, and open. Try it once and you'll wonder why anyone pays $80/year for software that mines their data.
