Stop unknown files before they can run.

SafeLayer AV moves suspicious files out of reach the moment they arrive, then checks them from every angle before they can harm your PC.

Rapid containment

The file waits in a locked area while SafeLayer evaluates it.

The protective path

The first move is to take the file away.

Traditional antivirus asks whether it recognises a file. SafeLayer makes the safer choice first: hold it, understand it, then decide.

01

A file arrives

Catch the moment it lands

Downloads, USB files, and attachments enter the same protective path—before an unfamiliar file becomes an incident.

02

SafeLayer holds it

Move it out of reach

The file is placed in a locked holding area. Nothing can open or execute it while SafeLayer builds a verdict.

03

Multiple signals decide

Release, quarantine, or review

Known detections, scan engines, risk scoring, and a second opinion produce a decision you can trust.

Built for the gap

New malware is dangerous precisely because it is new.

A trojan created today is not yet part of yesterday’s signature list. SafeLayer protects the window between arrival and recognition—the moment conventional scanning is most likely to let an unfamiliar file through.

What makes it different

Security that acts before a verdict is obvious.

Discuss your setup
Protection before recognition
Signature scanners can only identify a threat after someone has named it. SafeLayer starts by containing the unknown.

SAFE BY DEFAULT

A verdict with context
SafeLayer combines scanner results with file risk signals and reputation checks instead of relying on one clean result.

SAFE BY DEFAULT

Local-first by design
Files stay on your PC. Only a file fingerprint is used when a second opinion needs to be checked.
