Anti-Virus Engine (AV SDK)

Add proven malware detection to your own product. The NictaTech Anti-Virus Engine scans files and objects through a simple API and tells your application whether they are malicious.

Why use our engine

Signature-based scanning is still the core of almost every anti-virus product, and building and maintaining a signature database is expensive. With the NictaTech engine you get this layer ready to use and can focus on your own technologies: behaviour analysis, EDR, sandboxing or user experience.

Our analysts and automated systems have processed more than 275 million malware samples, and a lot of work goes into keeping false detections to a minimum.

High detection rate

Signature and generic detection of known malware families and their new variants.

Fast response

New threats are added to the database quickly; suspicious files from partners are analysed with priority.

Low false positives

Detections are checked against a large collection of clean files before release.

Lightweight

High scanning performance with low CPU and memory usage.

Simple integration

A compact API: initialise, scan an object, get a verdict and the malware name.

Affordable

Flexible licensing for vendors of any size, from start-ups to OEM partners.

Supported platforms

Windows 11, Windows 10, Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows 98/ME/95; Windows Server 2022, 2019, 2016, 2012, 2008 and 2003.

Licensing

The engine and, on request, its source code are licensed individually for each project. Tell us about your product and expected volume using the contact form and we will prepare an offer.
